Lymphatic System
 Subdivision of the circulatory system
 Removes foreign material and cell debris
 Destroy cells through action of lymphocytes
 Returns tissue fluid from intercellular spaces
to venous system
 Usually not palpable
 Vessels are lined with a single layer of
epithelial cells
 Comprises: lymph capillaries, vessels, lymph
nodes, aggregation of lymph tissue (spleen,
thymus & tonsils)
 Collects from tissue via:
lymphatic capillaries vessels ducts
Lymphatic System
Lymphatic System
Lymph nodes
 Small
 Prevent infections
 F1: production of lymphocytes
 F2: Production of antibodies and antitoxins
 F3: Filters bacteria & foreign material
 Bean-shaped
 Fibrous capsule
 Network of reticular fibers
 Dense arrangement of lymphocytes
Lymphatic System
Thoracic Duct
 Drains: whole body
 Except:
 R side of head & neck
 R side of thorax
 R arm
 Continuation of the cisterna chyli T12-L2
 Enters thorax posterior to aorta
 Through the diaphragm (T12)
 Runs along vertebral column
Thoracic Duct
 Ascends through posterior mediastinum
 Between thoracic aorta & azygos vein
 Crosses from right to left posterior to
oesophagus T5 – T7
 Enters superior mediastinum
 Runs to the root of neck
 C7 arches left, opens in venous angle
 Subclavian & internal jugular unite
Right Lymphatic Duct
 Short duct
 Drains remaining parts of body
 Runs in root of neck
 Formed by the junction of R jugular,
subclavian & bronchomediastinal trunks
 Opens – brachiocephalic vein
Thorax
Lymphatic Drainage Thoracic
Wall
 Skin (superficial to deep fascia)
 Superior to plane of umblicus drain to the anterior
