Transcript Lymphatic System

Aja Udumah
 The
lymph system is a network of organs, lymph
nodes, lymph ducts, and lymph vessels that make
and move lymph from tissues to the bloodstream.
 Lymph nodes are soft, small, round- or bean-shaped
structures
 Lymph is a clear-to-white fluid made of
lymphocytes and chyle.
 Lymphocyte
cells are a normal component of both
lymph AND blood.

There are 2 types of Lymphocytes
 The
contractions of skeletal muscles against lymph
vessels causes lymph to flow through lymph vessels.
The lingual tonsils are rounded
masses of lymphatic
tissue that cover the posterior
region of the tongue.
 A lymph node has two
important functions, which are
producing lymphocytes and
filtering lymph.
 The spleen is similar in
structure to a large lymph
node. It filters and recycles
the blood.
