FAQs about lymphatic drainage
The lymphatic system is a network of vessels and nodes that transports lymph, a fluid containing infection-fighting white blood cells, throughout the body.
The lymphatic system is of great importance in our body. It is considered part of the circulatory system as it is made up of vessels similar to capillaries. These vessels transport lymph, which originates from the blood and returns to it.
The reason the lymphatic and immune systems are so closely related is due to the existence of lymph nodes. Lymph nodes are a type of purification station that appear throughout the entire lymphatic system and their mission is to purify pathogens, combat them, and neutralise damage.
When the lymphatic system is congested, the lymph nodes cannot do their job properly, and the fact that the nodes are inflamed is a sign that something abnormal is happening inside us.
El drenatge limfàtic té diverses funcions essencials per al cos humà:* **Eliminació de residus i toxines:** El sistema limfàtic recull l'excés de líquid (limfa) dels teixits, juntament amb productes de rebuig cel·lular, toxines i altres substàncies no desitjades, i els transporta cap a la circulació sanguínia per ser eliminats. * **Transport de greixos:** El sistema limfàtic, especialment a l'intestí, té un paper crucial en l'absorció i el transport de greixos digerits i vitamines liposolubles des de la dieta cap a la resta del cos. * **Resposta immune:** Els ganglis limfàtics, que formen part del sistema limfàtic, actuen com a filtres que atrapen patògens (bacteris, virus) i cèl·lules canceroses. Aquests ganglis també allotgen cèl·lules immunitàries (limfòcits) que combaten les infeccions i altres amenaces per al cos. * **Manteniment de l'equilibri de fluids:** Ajuda a equilibrar els nivells de líquid entre la sang i els teixits, evitant així l'acumulació excessiva de líquid als teixits, fet que es coneix com a edema. * **Transport de limfòcits:** Transporta limfòcits (un tipus de glòbul blanc) per tot el cos, que són fonamentals per a la resposta del sistema immunitari.
