so kaplan says the lymphatic system does nto drain excess flid from the central nervous system, superficial areas of teh skin, deeper peripheral nerves, or bones... so is it true then the cardiovascular system (blood vessels - veins and artiers) do sucha job?

thanks!
 
In the case of cerebrospinal fluid, it drains out the dural sinuses and gets dumped into the blood stream.

I imagine that is what happens to the rest of the fluids you name. Where else could they go?
