How do you compare the responsibilty of the lymph vascular system to the cardiovaacular system?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
2 different function: The cardiovascular system is composed of arteries which bring blood flow to organs muscles etc, and veins which return blood flow to the heart. The lymph system returns fluid, protein and works to cleanse our system. They also serve as the bodes defense mechanism against infection like the bodes own antibiotics. If they are not working well then legs can swell and infections can be more common.
