Lymphatic system consists of three parts.
1) A network of three parts
2) Lymph
3) Lymph nodes
100
Similar to blood capillaries, except
Very permeable
Endothelial cells overlap to form one-way minivalves.
Absent from bones, teeth bone marrow and the CNS
100
Drains the right upper arm and the right side of the head and thorax.
Right Lymphatic duct
100
Two main types of Lymphocytes
T Cells And B Cells
100
Two main types of Lymphatic tissue.
Diffuse Lymphatic tissue and Lymphatic follicles
200
Functions of the Lymphatic system.
Returns interstitial fluid and leaked plasma proteins back to the blood.
200
Specialized lymph capillaries present in intestinal mucosa.
Lacteals
200
arises from the cisterna chyli and drains the rest of the body.
Thoracic duct
200
What protects against antigens
Macrophages
200
Diffuse lymphatic tissue
comprises scattered reticular tissue.
300
Together with lymphoid organs and tissues, provide the structural basis of the ______ _______.
immune system.
300
Similar to veins, except Have thinner walls, with more internal valves.
Lymphatic collecting vessels
300
Right Lymphatic and Thoracic duct
each empties lymph into venous circulation at the junction of the internal jugular and subclavian veins on its own side of the body
300
Dendritic cells
Cells that capture antigens and deliver them to lymph nodes.
300
Lymphatic follicles
Germinal center
400
One way system,lymph flows toward the heart.
Lymphatic vessels.
400
Lymphatic trunks
Formed by the union of the largest collection ducts.
400
What is lymph propelled by
Pulsations of nearby arteries and Contractions of smooth muscle in the walls of the lymphatics.
400
Reticular cells
produce stroma that supports other cells in lymphoid organs.
400
Lymph nodes
Principal lymphoid organs of the body
500
what are the types of lymphatic vessels.
Lymphatic capillaries
Lymphatic collecting vessels
Lymphatic trunks and ducts.
500
Lymph
is delivered into one of two large ducts
500
Lymphocytes
The main warriors of the immune system
500
Lymphoid tissue
Houses and provides a proliferation site for lymphocytes
500
