• The lymphatic system is part of the circulatory system, comprising a network of conduits called lymphatic vessels that carry a clear fluid called lymph (from Latin lympha "water goddess") directionally towards the heart.
![Page 3: Anatomy 15-Lymphatic-system](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062310/5883e8d11a28ab34428b479b/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
• The lymph system is not a closed system. The circulatory system processes an average of 20 litres of blood per day through capillary filtration which removes plasma while leaving the blood cells. Roughly 17 litres of the filtered plasma actually get reabsorbed directly into the blood vessels, while the remaining 3 litres are left behind in the interstitial fluid.
• The primary function of the lymph system is to provide an accessory route for these excess 3 litres per day to get returned to the blood.Lymph is essentially recycled blood plasma.

The lymphatic system has multiple interrelated functions
• It is responsible for the removal of interstitial fluid from tissues
• It absorbs and transports fatty acids and fats as chyle from the digestive system
• It transports white blood cells to and from the lymph nodes into the bones
• The lymph transports antigen-presenting cells (APCs), such as dendritic cells, to the lymph nodes where an immune response is stimulated.

LYMPHATIC SYSTEMS
consists of:
1) lymphatic vessels
2) lymphoid tissues and lymphoid organs
![Page 6: Anatomy 15-Lymphatic-system](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062310/5883e8d11a28ab34428b479b/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
travel along with blood vessels.
1) lymphatic vessels

lymphatic capillary
lymphatic trunks
lymphatic collecting vessels
lymphatic ducts
Lymphatic vessels start with lymphatic capillaries

- blind ended vessels - permeable to proteins even cells

The main function
- collect excess large particles and tissue fluid
lymph

Lymph driven by rhythmic contractions
Valves are present to prevent backflow.

connection to the veins

How is fluid moved?
- Contraction of skeletal muscles against lymphatic vessels- Smooth muscle contraction- Valves in lymphatic vessels- Breathing
Obstruction of system leads to edema

Defenses Against Pathogens
• 1) Nonspecific defenses - broadly effective, no prior exposure
1) external barriers2) inflammation3) fever
• 2) Specific defense - results from prior exposure, protects against only a particular pathogen– immune system
![Page 28: Anatomy 15-Lymphatic-system](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062310/5883e8d11a28ab34428b479b/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
1) External Barriers
• Skin
– toughness of keratin
– dry and nutrient-poor
– defenses: peptides neutrophils attack microbes
– lactic acid (acid mantle) is a component of perspiration
• Subepithelial areolar tissue
– tissue gel: viscous barrier of hyaluronic acid
– hyaluronidase: enzyme used by pathogens (snake bites and bacterial toxins
![Page 29: Anatomy 15-Lymphatic-system](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062310/5883e8d11a28ab34428b479b/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
• Mucous membranes
– stickiness of
mucus
– lysozyme:
enzyme destroys
bacterial cell walls
1) External Barriers
![Page 30: Anatomy 15-Lymphatic-system](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062310/5883e8d11a28ab34428b479b/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
2) Inflammation
• Cardinal signs
– redness (erythema) caused by hyperemia ( blood flow)
– swelling (edema) caused by capillary permeability and filtration
– heat caused by hyperemia
– pain caused by inflammatory chemicals and pressure on nerves
![Page 31: Anatomy 15-Lymphatic-system](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062310/5883e8d11a28ab34428b479b/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
2) Non Specific Immunity - Inflammation
• Defensive response to tissue injury
– limits spread of pathogens, then destroys them; removes debris, initiates tissue repair
– suffix -itis denotes inflammation of specific organs
