Lymphatic Flashcards
is a linear network of lymphatic vessels and secondary lymphoid organs.
Responsible for the fluid balance. Interstitial fluid is being filtered and brought back into the bloodstream.
It absorbs and transports fatty acids and fats from the digestive system.
It transports white blood cells and dendritic cells for the defense system of the body.
Lymphatic System
fluid needed for every cell.
Interstitial Fluid
Professional antibodies
Dendritic Cells
It is a fluid in the lymphatic system originating from the interstitial fluid that enters the lymphatic vessels. It Contain nutrients , oxygen , hormones, and fatty acids, as well as toxins and cellular waste products, that are transported to and from cellular tissues.
Lymph (Lymphatic Fluid)
These are one-way valve vessels connected to lymphatic capillaries. It transports lymph from peripheral tissues to the veins of the cardiovascular system.
Lymph Vessels

Function: Releases antibodies
There are 200 strains of bacteria tha causes sipon
Lymph Nodes
have antibodies
B-Lymphocyte
is responsible to look for destroyed cells
T-Lymphocyte
It is a mass of lymphatic tissue found above and beyond the cardiac portion of the stomach.
Spleen
site of lymphocytes
White Pulp
filters the blood
Red Pulp
These are lymphoepithelial tissues located in your mouth and throat.
It protects the body against pathogens and other potentially harmful microorganisms entering from the nose and the mouth.
Tonsils
It is located in the thoracic cavity between the trachea and sternum superior to the heart.
It serves as the site of T - lymphocyte maturation, development, and control.
Thymus
special proteins that fight off and destroy disease-causing germs.
Antibodies
foreign substance introduced into the body and causes immune response; molecules produced by the body.
