Still some left: Lymphatic system absorbs/carries things too big to go into arteries/veins like bacteria eaten by white cells and digested food. Lymph nodes "taste" the lymph to see if anything bad is there like bacteria/viruses/cancers, etc. For problems, it alerts the immune system and your body reacts. They enlarge in response to inflammation they create when they react. You still have nodes that can react.
