() pressure system, similar to venous system
Low
Lymph return caused by similar mechanism to
venous
* () by skeletal muscles
* Thoracic pressure changes in respiration
* Valves to prevent ()
* Contraction of nearby arteries
* Smooth muscle contraction in lymph vessel walls
Milking
backflow
Physical Activity: promotes lymph return to ()
Immobilization of injured area: keeps ()
material in area for faster healing

Immune Cells:
* (): part of adaptive (specific)
immunity
* () Lymphocytes: produce antibodies; target for
destruction
* No direct kill
* () Lymphocytes: produce Helper & Cytotoxic T cells
* Directly kill & activate other immune cells
Lymphocytes
B
T
(): engulf, destroy, & present antigen
* Macrophages (monocytes)
* () cells (skin)
Phagocytes
Dendritic
Lymphoid () are grouped into two functional
categories
organs
Primary and secondary
() lymphoid organs: areas where T and B cells
mature—red bone marrow and thymus
* T and B cells originate in (/) but only () cells matures
there; T cells mature in thymus
Primary
bone marrow
B
() lymphoid organs: areas where mature
lymphocytes first encounter their antigen and become
activated
* (), (), MALT () and
diffuse lymphoid tissues
Secondary
Nodes
spleen
mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue
