The lymphatic system, for most people, is associated with the immune system to such a degree that the two systems are virtually indistinguishable. The lymphatic system is the system of vessels, cells, and organs that carries excess fluids to the bloodstream and filters pathogens from the blood.

It also includes a network of vessels that transport or filter the fluid known as lymph in which lymphocytes circulate. The figure below shows major lymphatic vessels and other structures that make up the lymphatic system.

Organs exist in most multicellular organisms, including not only humans and other animals but also plants. In single-celled organisms such as bacteria, the functional equivalent of an organ is an organelle.

When these systems are infected with a microorganism, the network of vessels can facilitate the rapid dissemination of the microorganism to other regions of the body, sometimes with serious results. In this section, we examine some of the key anatomical features of the circulatory and lymphatic systems, as well as general signs and symptoms of infection.
