Compare blood and lymph

The lymphatic system is often referred to as a secondary circulatory system as it consists of a network ofvessels that assist the blood in returningfluid from the tissues back to the hert. In this way, the lymphatic system is a complementary system for the circulatory system. After draining the tissues of excess fluid, the lymphatic system returns this fluid to the cardiovascular system. This helps to maintain blood volume, blood pressure and prevent oedema.
