Lymph, lymph nodes, & lymphatic system | Life processes | Biology | Khan Academy

Lymph is the blood plasma that oozes out of the holes in the blood capillaries. The lymph vessels clear out this lymph and recirculate it back into the bloodstream. The lymph nodes contain WBCs that help provides immunity.

I am a male 32 that has had lymphedema for over 14 years now due to a sports injury during high school. I just wear compression stockings and during that time that's all the doctor could recommend and said I would deal with it for the rest of my life. This topic is so under researched and I thank you so much for this video. You explain things very well and help me understand the lymphatic system. I am on my journey to recovery still but I have hope that my leg will get better. I am still grateful I can walk, that has kept me motivated all these years. Being grateful for what I can still do instead of focusing on what I cannot do.

[@user-lb3ex6yh9u]

Damn that's sad . An injury during high school cost something worth 14 years of your life?! I am sorry for it but at the same time I appreciate your outlook towards it. Also it's true that it is a under researched topic. In fact a lot things are under researched. Once some are done, there would be no limits on how easy human life could become.

[@shridulasoni7956]

get well soon

[@lauramartins5953]

Are you better now? Try incorporating things like ginger tea, cappers/red onions, pineapple, garlic water with honey (cut like 2-3 thin slices of garlic, put the honey in a cup, boil water, let sit and drink like a tea), olives or olive leaf tea, in your diet. I had an infection on my leg last year, and it's still swollen, but those things have helped me quite a bit.

[@lauramartins5953]

Careful not to hurt your stomach (eat after meals, specially the ginger and garlic tea).

I have *doubt* about THE FAT TRANSPORT, • Fats/lipids r macromolecules NOT because they r Big, but Hydrophobic nature, so why can't they enter in blood capillaries? • If fat can't enter into blood directly, that also means it can't leave blood because of it's big size. Then there should accumulate more fat, how it is removed from the blood??
