The organs, such as nose, nasal cavity, larynx, trachea, bronchi and lungs together form the respiratory system. This system helps in the breathing process, where the oxygen is taken in and carbon dioxide is expelled out.
The lymphatic vessels, lymph nodes, spleen, thymus and lymph fluid together forms the lymphatic system. It is the lymphatic system that helps in defending the body against different types of infection.
