Following are the functions of the lymphatic system:
1. It primarily functions as a defence mechanism in the body by transporting lymph, a fluid containing infection-fighting white blood cells, throughout the body.
2. It also helps in removing excess fluids from body tissues to get rid of toxins, waste, and other unwanted materials from the body.
(b) Blood pressure (BP) is the pressure of circulating blood against the walls of blood vessels (arteries and veins) pumped by the heart.
The two factors used to express the blood pressure of a person are-
1. Systolic pressure.
2. Diastolic pressure.
(c) Urea is the main nitrogenous waste in human blood. It is removed from the blood by the help of the kidneys in the form of a dilute solution called urine.
