the lymphatic system contributes to immunity by
producing antibodies against pathogens
causing inflammation after injury
generating new antigens after vaccination
housing populations of immune cells
preventing viruses from entering the body
The lymphatic system contains lymph nodes and other structures that house immune - cells like lymphocytes. Antibodies are produced by plasma cells (derived from B - lymphocytes), but the main contribution of the lymphatic system to immunity is providing a location for immune cells to be stored and activated. Inflammation is mainly related to the innate immune response and not the main function of the lymphatic system. Antigens are foreign substances, not generated by the body in response to vaccination in the sense described. The skin and mucous membranes prevent viruses from entering the body, not the lymphatic system.
