Lymphatic System Functions
OPEN SYSTEM
Fluid balance
Transport of dietary lipids
Immunity
Lymphatic Flow
OPEN CIRCUIT
Picks up excess interstitial fluid and returns it to the cardiac system
What are the 2 types of resistance/immunity
General and Specific
GENERAL resistance =
INATE: Skin, mucus membranes and gastric juices
INDISCRIMINATE WBCs
SPECIFIC resistance =
ADAPTIVE: WBCs fight infection. T-cells and B-cells
T-cells
Perform cell mediated response
B-cells
Antibody mediated response
Edema
