The lymphatic system maintains fluid levels in the body. Bacteria and other microbes are taken up by the lymph and delivered to the lymph nodes for destruction. The spleen and thymus are organs that filter the blood. 1  The lymphatic system is a network of tubes throughout the body that drains fluid (called lymph) from tissues and empties it back into the bloodstream. The main roles of the lymphatic system include managing the fluid levels in the body, filtering out bacteria, and housing types of white blood cells.
1 Thymus. 2  The thymus gland is the main organ of the lymphatic system. 3  Its primary function is to promote the development of specific cells of the immune system called T-lymphocytes. 4  Once mature, these cells leave the thymus and are transported via blood vessels to the lymph nodes and spleen. The spleen is the largest organ of the lymphatic system. 2  Its primary function is to filter blood of damaged cells, cellular debris, and pathogens. 3  Like the thymus, the spleen houses and aids in the maturation of lymphocytes. 4  Lymphocytes destroy pathogens and dead cells in the blood.
