What are the three functions of the lymphatic system
- Defense- immunity
- Fluid balance within tissue
- Fat absorption from Digestive tract
What drains lymph from the entire lower half of the body and on the left side above the diaphragm
thoracic duct
What drains lymph from the right side of the body above the diaphragm
Right lymphatic duct
Filters blood to remove pathogens and/ or abnormal cells
storage of iron recycled from RBCs
Initiation of immune response by B cells and T cells in response to antigens circulating in blood.
spleen
are enclosed in connective tissue capsule and generally found in clusters
lymph nodes
located in the upper left quadrant of the abdomen
spleen
secretes thymosin necessary for T cell maturation
thymus
mucosa associated lymphoid tissue found deep to the epithelium of other organs
MALT
part of the MALT, large lymphoid nodule in the wall of pharynx
Tonsil
Densely packed lymphocytes within areolar connective tissue
lymphoid nodule
located in the mediastinum
thymus
major clusters are: cervical, axillary, lumbar, and inguinal
lymph nodes
contains red pulp and white pulp
spleen
filters lymph to remove pathogens
lymph nodes
CT covering separates node from surrounding tissues
capsule
contains B cells within germinal centers
outer cortex
contains T cells
deep cortex
contains macrophages and dendritic cells
subcapsular space
where lymph enters
Afferent lymphatic vessel
where lymph exits
efferent lymphatic vessel
contains B cells and plasma cells organized in medullary cords
Medulla
what order does lymph flow through the node (1. afferent lymphatic vessel)
ASODME
- Afferent lymphatic vessel
- Subcapsular space
- outer cortex
- deep cortex
- medulla
- efferent lymphatic vessel
immunity develops because natural exposure to antigens
naturally acquired active immunity
mom’s antibodies given through breast milk
naturally acquired passive immunity
