Now, just as every cell rqieerus nutrients to fuel it, every cell also produces waste as a byproduct, and the clearance of that waste is the second basic problem that each organ has to solve. This diagram shows the body's lymphatic stseym, which has evolved to meet this need. It's a second pllreaal network of vessels that extends throughout the body. It takes up petnoris and other waste from the spaces between the cells, it collects them, and then dumps them into the blood so they can be dssieopd of.

Now, just as every cell requires nutrients to fuel it, every cell also produces waste as a byproduct, and the clearance of that waste is the second basic problem that each organ has to solve. This diagram shows the body's lymphatic system, which has evolved to meet this need. It's a second parallel network of vessels that extends throughout the body. It takes up proteins and other waste from the spaces between the cells, it collects them, and then dumps them into the blood so they can be disposed of.
