B cells

function to produce plasma cells that secrete antibodies which mark antigens for destruction.

Reticular cells

function to produce reticular fiber stroma, the scaffolding-like network that supports the lymphoid cells.

lymphatic system

function to return leaked fluids and plasma protein from the vascular system back to the blood.

Thoracic duct

function to transport back into the circulatory system

lymph capillaries

function to transport filter lymphatic fluid from your body's cells and tissues
