LYMPHATIC SYSTEM * Carries fluid in one direction‚ from the tissues to the circulatory system. Functions of the Lymphatic System 1. Fluid Balance * Collecting excess fluid and particulate matter from tissues and depositing them in the bloodstream. 2. Fat Absorption * Absorbs fats and other substance from the digestive tract through lymphatic vessels called lacteals located in the lining of the small intestine. * Fat enters the lacteals and pass through the lymphatic vessels

picture what would happen if‚ somewhere along the miles of underground pipes‚ there is a blockage of some kind‚ and very little‚ if any‚ drain water can get by. This is a simplified comparison of what happens in the human body of a person living with lymphatic filariasis. A mosquito‚ after biting a person that currently has the disease‚ carries the larvae of the parasite that causes the symptoms and bites someone else‚ thereby passing on the larvae‚ or microfilariae‚ into the next host. Most people that

Chapter 16-Lymphatic System & Immunity 1. Explain the functions of the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system functions to balance fluid‚ lipid absorption (via lacteals=lymph capillaries) and defense. It removes toxins/pathogens‚ fight infections and transports excess fluid in the interstitial spaces and returns it to the blood stream. Lacteals absorb digested fats from small intestines and transports it to venous circulation. 2. Trace the general pathway of lymph from the interstitial

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

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
