capillaries and for the lymphatic capillaries that tends to be collected and then returned to the blood as
such it cannot go through the capillaries. Also, the proteins of the blood account of this shows that the

protein that will be reduced that results in the fluid imbalances in the body. Moreover, this is called
hemopoiesis he white blood cells that tends to be made in the lymphatic tissues the white blood types
consist of the lymphocytes and the monocytes as such this production doesn’t tend to be made just in
the bone marrow.

Tonsils


Tonsils tend to prevent the germs from entering the system through the nose and of the mouth –
because the germs tend to threaten of entering as such the tonsils use the white blood cells to fight of
infectious microorganisms. As such it can be found at the back of the throat, mouth, and palate.
