The Lymphatic System

This MCAT podcast covers the lymphatic system. Sam and Alex first talk about the anatomy of the lymphatic system and then get into its three main functions:

1. Returning materials and fluid to the blood
2. Supporting the immune system
3. Absorption of fats and fat-soluble nutrients

Lastly, Alex talks about some exciting research that is going on to investigate the connection between the brain and the lymphatic system.
