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

The lymphatic system is an extensive drainage network that is closely connected to both the circulatory and immune systems. It is responsible for keeping bodily fluids in balance and defends the body against infections. It is made up of a network of very small tubes known as lymphatic vessels that carry lymph‚ a colourless fluid that contains a high number of white blood cells and resembles plasma‚ throughout the body. The major parts of the lymph tissue are located in the bone marrow‚ spleen‚ thymus

The Lymphatic System And Immunity The cells‚ tissues‚ and organs of the lymphatic system play a central role in the body’s defenses against a variety of pathogens‚ or disease-causing organisms. Acts against environment hazards‚ various pathogens‚ and internal threats. Lymphocytes (primary cell) are vital to or overcoming infection and disease. Lymphocytes respond to invading pathogens‚ abnormal body cells‚ and foreign proteins. They act to eliminate these threats or render them harmless

importance of the human body’s lymphatic system." The lymphatic system is a complex network of vessels‚ ducts and capillaries‚ which run through out the body. There are many components’ in the lymphatic system‚ including; lymph fluid‚ lymphatic vessels‚ the lymphatic duct‚ lymph nodes‚ lacteals and the spleen. The lymphatic system and it’s importance were not recognised until the 1960’s. The lymphatic system has 3 main importance’s and functions. The lymphatic system plays a large part in the

GE 259 Lymphatic System June 24‚ 2014 1. What is the significance of a lower-than-normal hematocrit? What is the effect of a bacterial infection on the hematocrit? A lower than normal hematocrit indicates anemia‚ a condition in which the body does not have enough healthy red blood cells. Red blood cells provide oxygen to the body tissues. If you have a bacterial infection‚ your white blood cell count would increase because as the wbc’s are fighting off the infection they die off releasing a

Objective: The objective of the lab is to separate the caffeine samples we are using‚ using thin layer chromatography. The solvent we are using for the separation is 3:1 mixture of Chloroform and Acetone. Principle: Thin layer chromatography (TLC) is an important technique that is useful for separating organic compounds. TLC is often used to monitor the progress of organic reactions and to check the purity of products. Separations in Thin layer chromatography involve distributing a mixture of
