- The system that is related to edema is lymphatic system.
- Lymphatic system is a parallel system to venous system of the body.
- It consists of lymph glands, lymph nodes, lymph vessels, lymph capillaries and lymph.
- Lymph flows in lymph vessels and lymph capillaries. It is nothing but blood without solid particles.
- Skeletal muscels help in pushing the lymph flowing in lymphatic vessels and the blood flowing in veins towards heart.
- In some elder people and people who did over night journey, there is no proper movement of lymph, due to improper skeletal muscle movement.
- It results in edema.
- Lymph is also known as "middle man of the body."

Explanation:
Legs, ankles, and feet swell when excess fluid is pulled down by gravity and builds up in the lower body. This is called edema and it's common in older adults and usually happens on both sides of the body. It can be caused by a variety of health conditions including heart failure, kidney disease, gout, and arthritis.
