used as class final paper over and body system great research!!
The Lymphatic System
The Lymphatic System is very important. It helps
with the Cardiovascular system, and our immune systems.
The Lymphatic System is made up of two semi-independent
parts. One is a network of lymphatic vessels. The other
part is various lymphoid tissues and organs all over the
body. The functions of the Lymphatic System transporting
fluids that have escaped from the blood vascular system,
and the organs house phagocytic cells and lymphocytes.
Lymphatic vessels are an elaborate system of drainage
vessles that collect the excess protein-containing fluid and
returns it to the bloodstream.. Once an interstitial fluid
enters the lymphatics it is called lymph. The lymphatic
vessels form a one way system in which lymph flows only
towards the heart. This entire transport sytem starts in the
lymph capillaries. These are very commmon, usually occur
in the places blood capillaries occur.
Lymph capillaries are
not found in bone, teeth, bone marrow, and entire central
nervous system. Lymphatic capillaries are very permeable.
The endothelial cells that make up the walls of the
capillaries are not tightly joined. Filament anchor the
endothelium cells so they can expand. Pathogens can
spread through the body through the lymphatic stream.
There are many cells in the lymphoid tissue. One type
is lymphocytes, which are reffered to often as T or B cells.
Plasma cells are antibody-producing offspring of B cells.
Macrophages are phagocytes that help out with immunity.
Reticular cells are cells that form the lymphoid tissue
stroma. Thes cells are very important parts of the immune
system.
The Lymphatic System also contains tissues. The
tissue of the Lymphatic System is reticular connective
tissue. It hold the macrophages and changes the number of
lymphocytes. It is an important part of the immune...
Lymphatic and immunity
very interesting on how the r-search was completed and just ingeneral a ggod paper. the lymphatic system is in general the immune system because of how the immunie system works with the organs of the lymphatic systemThere are two types of specicific responce.The immune system is associated with defense againse diseasecausing agents problems in transplants and bloos transfusions and diseases resulting from over-reasction and under reaction.Barriers are the skin and mucous membranes. the skin is a passive barrier to ifectious agents such as bacteria and viruses.
