Valves
Are a location of gas and nutrient exchange
Capillaries
The ability of the body to defend it self against disease causing organisms
Immunity
Collects and transport lymph, a clear fluid helps maintain fluid balance and play a role in the immune response by filtering and removing harmful substances
Lymphatic Vessels
Collects excess tissue fluid which contains waste products and other materials from your cells
Lymphatic Capillaries
The fluid that enters lymphatic capillaries composed of water and some solutes
LYMPH
What are the 3 major functions of Lymphatic System
1 maintenance of fluid
2 lipud absorption
3 defense pathogen
The _____lymph nodes are in your groin
INGUINAL
Carry blood away from the heart;usually the blood is oxygenated
ARTERIES
Blood flows from arterioles into _________
CAPILLARIES
Carry blood toward the heart; the blood is deoxygenated (oxygen poor)
