Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The two main functions of the lymphatic system are returning tissue fluid (lymph) to the circulatory system and fighting infections through the production of lymphocytes and the filtration of pathogens and foreign substances in lymph nodes. The lymphatic system does not produce hormones that regulate the immune system, but rather relies on the action of various lymphoid organs and tissues. Coagulation of blood is primarily regulated by the circulatory system and clotting factors produced by the liver.
