Movement of fluid
   (factor : osmotic pressure, 
                  hydrostatic pressure, 
                  colloid osmotic pressure)
Plasma -> cell(RBC)                  ; RBC rupture
RBC -> plasma                           ; RBC collapse
Plasma -> interstitial fluid       ; edema(d/t decrease colloid osmotic pressure)
Interstitial fluid -> plasma       ; normal action  
Interstitial fluid -> lymph        ; normal action
Lymph -> interstitial fluid       ; can not move
Lymphatic system 
Lymph circulation : blood vessel -> interstitial fluid -> lymph capillaries -> lymph node 
-> lymph duct        right lymphatic duct ---> right subclavian vein         subclavian vein
                                 thoracic duct     --------- > left subclavian vein
                                 
Lymphatic system Function 
Role as pumps         skeletal muscle pump
                                   respiratory pump
Specific things compare to blood system ; 1-way opening/dead end lymphatic capillaries/lacteal

Lymphatic organs and tissue
Primary lymphatic organs          thymus  : T cells mature
                                                        bone marrow ; produce WBC, lymphocyte, and T-cell ,B-cell.
                                                                                  B-cell mature
Secondary lymphatic organs     lymph nodes : lymphocytes(B, T, natural killer cell)
                                                        spleen: destroy and stored blood cells
                                                        MALT: Peyer's patches(GI)
