THE LYMPHATIC SYSTEM• Consists of two semi-independent parts– Lymphatic vessels– Lymphoid tissues and organs
• Lymphatic system functions– Transport fluids back to the blood– Play essential roles in body defense and resistance
to disease
ANATOMY
![Page 5: Unit 11 Lymphatic System](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061116/5466140fb4af9f493f8b514f/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
LYMPHATIC CHARACTERISTICS• Lymph – excess tissue fluid carried by
lymphatic vessels• Properties of lymphatic vessels– One way system toward the heart– No pump– Lymph moves toward the heart• Milking action of skeletal muscle• Rhythmic contraction of smooth muscle in vessel walls
ANATOMY
![Page 6: Unit 11 Lymphatic System](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061116/5466140fb4af9f493f8b514f/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
LYMPHATIC VESSELS• Lymph Capillaries– Walls overlap to form flap-like minivalves– Fluid leaks into lymph capillaries– Capillaries are anchored to connective tissue by
filaments– Higher pressure on the inside closes minivalves
• Lymphatic collecting vessels– Collects lymph from lymph capillaries– Carries lymph to and away from lymph nodes
ANATOMY

LYMPHATIC VESSELS
ANATOMY
Lymphatic collecting vessels• Collects lymph from lymph
capillaries• Carries lymph to and away
from lymph nodes• Returns fluid to circulatory
veins near the heart• Right lymphatic duct• Thoracic duct
![Page 9: Unit 11 Lymphatic System](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061116/5466140fb4af9f493f8b514f/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
LYMPH• Materials returned to the blood– Water– Blood cells– Proteins
• Harmful materials that enter lymph vessels– Bacteria– Viruses– Cancer cells– Cell debris

LYMPH NODES• Filter lymph before it is returned to the blood• Defense cells within lymph nodes– Macrophages – engulf and destroy foreign
substances– Lymphocytes – provide immune response to
antigens

LYMPH NODE STRUCTURE• Most are kidney-shaped, less than 1 inch long• Cortex– Outer part– Contains follicles – collections of lymphocytes
• Medulla– Inner part– Contains phagocytic macrophages

OTHER LYMPHOID ORGANS• Several other organs contribute to lymphatic
function– Spleen– Thymus– Tonsils– Peyer’s patches

THE SPLEEN• Located on the left side of the abdomen• Filters blood• Destroys worn out blood cells• Forms blood cells in the fetus• Acts as a blood reservoir

THE THYMUS• Located low in the throat, overlying the heart• Functions at peak levels only during childhood• Produces hormones (like thymosin) to
program lymphocytes

TONSILS• Small masses of lymphoid tissue around the
pharynx• Trap and remove bacteria and other foreign
materials• Tonsillitis is caused by congestion with
bacteria

MUCOSA-ASSOCIATED LYMPHATIC TISSUE (MALT)
• Includes:– Peyer’s patches– Tonsils– Other small accumulations of lymphoid tissue
• Acts as a sentinal to protect respiratory and digestive tracts

PEYER’S PATCHES• Found in the wall of the small intestine• Resemble tonsils in structure• Capture and destroy bacteria in the intestine

BODY DEFENSES• The body is constantly in contact with bacteria,
fungi, and viruses• The body has two defense systems for foreign
materials1. Nonspecific defense system
• Mechanisms protect against a variety of invaders• Responds immediately to protect body from foreign
materials
2. Specific defense system• Specific defense is required for each type of invader• Also known as the immune system

NONSPECIFIC BODY DEFENSES• Body surface coverings– Intact skin– Mucous membranes
• Specialized human cells• Chemicals produced by the body

SURFACE MEMBRANE BARRIERS – FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE
• The skin– Physical barrier to foreign materials– pH of the skin is acidic to inhibit bacterial growth
• Sebum is toxic to bacteria• Vaginal secretions are very acidic
• Stomach mucosa– Secretes hydrochloric acid– Has protein-digesting enzymes
• Saliva and lacrimal fluid contain lysozyme• Mucus traps microogranisms in digestive and
respiratory pathwaysANATOMY

DEFENSIVE CELLS• Phagocytes
(neutrophils and macrophages)– Engulfs foreign material into a vacuole– Enzymes from lysosomes digest the material

DEFENSIVE CELLS• Natural killer cells– Can lyse and kill cancer cells– Can destroy virus- infected cells

INFLAMMATORY RESPONSE - SECOND LINE OF DEFENSE
• Triggered when body tissues are injured• Produces four cardinal signs– Redness– Heat– Swelling– Pain
• Results in a chain of events leading to protection and healing

DEVELOPMENTAL ASPECTS OF THE LYMPHATIC SYSTEM AND BODY
DEFENSES• Except for thymus and spleen, the lymphoid
organs are poorly developed before birth
• A newborn has no functioning lymphocytes at birth; only passive immunity from the mother
• If lymphatics are removed or lost, severe edema results, but vessels grow back in time
