Q

Functions of the Lymphatic sysrem

A

Drains excess interstitial fluid
The lymphatic system drains tissue spaces of excess fluid and returns proteins that have escaped from blood to the cardiovascular system

Transports dietary lipids and lipid-soluble vitamins to the blood.
It also transports lipids and lipid-soluble vitamins from the gastrointestinal tract to the blood, and protects the body against invasion.

Carries out immune responses

Q

What is innate immunity vs adaptive immunity

A

Innate immunity you are born with. Consists of non-specific, fast acting defense.

Adaptive immunity is specific and developed over time. It may take up to three days for defense to start working

  2. The ureters transport urine from the kidneys to the urinary bladder.
  3. The urinary bladder stores urine and expels it into the urethra.

  2. The fallopian tubes transport a secondary oocyte to the uterus, and normally are the sites where fertilization occurs.
  3. The uterus is the site of implantation of a fertilized ovum, development of the fetus during pregnancy, and labor.
  4. The vagina receives the penis during sexual intercourse and is a passageway for childbirth.
