Fibrous tissue, adipose tissue and other extracellular components. As the adult worms grow within the lymphatic system, the vessels become dilated through mechanisms not entirely understood (Addiss and Brady, 200). What is clear is that this dilatation makes 1-defence:protect the body against foreign substances and bacteria. . 2-fluid balance :lymphatic organs maintain the fluid balance in the tissue which is called “lymph”..which is the fluid that collecting from body tissue and return back to the blood circulation. .
