The lymphatic system is part of the circulatory system comprising a network of conduits called lymphatic vessels that carry a clear fluid called lymph (from Latin lympha water goddess) directionally towards the heart. The lymphatic system was first described in the seventeenth century independently by Olaus Rudbeck and Thomas Bartholin. The lymph system is not a closed system.
