The immune and lymphatic systems are closely linked as they are both major human organ systems [1] that often function as a combined unit [2]. The lymphatic system facilitates immune function by exposing lymph to lymphocytes [3], while the immune system utilizes the lymphatic system as a pathway for cell migration [4] and both systems are influenced by the mesentery [5].

claimThe 11 systems of the human body are the integumentary system, skeletal system, muscular system, endocrine system, cardiovascular (circulatory) system, lymphatic (immune) system, respiratory system, digestive system, urinary system, reproductive system, and nervous system.
