The lymphatic system aids the immune system by removing waste and toxins. It also absorbs and transports fats and fat-soluble vitamins. Key parts of the lymphatic system include lymph nodes, vessels, the thymus, spleen, tonsils, and more. The endocrine system regulates important bodily functions through hormones. Key glands are the hypothalamus, pituitary, thyroid, adrenals, ovaries, testes, pancreas, and parathyroids. Both systems do not have a single location but are found throughout the body.

1. Endocrine and
Lymphatic System

3. Lymphatic System
•The lymphatic system aids the immune system in removing and destroying
waste, debris, dead blood cells, pathogens, toxins, and cancer cells.
•The lymphatic system absorbs fats and fat-soluble vitamins from the
digestive system and delivers these nutrients to the cells of the body where
they are used by the cells.
•The lymphatic system also removes excess fluid, and waste products from
the interstitial spaces between the cells.

4. Lymphatic System

5. Thymus
 The thymus creates T-lymphocytes (T cells), which are
cells of the immune system.

6. Axillary Lymph Node
 Hidden between the
shoulder muscles and the
chest wall; obvious in
living things only when
significantly large and
hard.

7. Lymphatic Vessel
 Thin walled, valve
structures that carry
lymph. Lymph vessels act
as pools for plasma and
other substances,
including cells, that have
leaked from the vascular
system and transport
lymph fluid.

8. Tonsils
 Masses of lymphatic material situated at either side at
the back of the human throat.

9. Cervical Lymph Node
 Over 300 lymph nodes that are found in the neck.

10. Mammary Plexus
 The internal thoracic lymph nodes, with their vessels,
situated along the course of the internal thoracic veins.

11. Thoracic duct
 The major duct of the
lympathic system
 This is how lymph is
added to the blood stream

12. Spleen
 Acts as a filter for blood
 Old red blood cells are
recycled, and platelets and
white blood cells are stored
here
 Fights certain kinds of
bacteria

13. Inguinal lymph node
 Lymph nodes that are located in the groin area
 Carry lymphatic fluid from the groin area through the
lymphatic system
 This lymphatic fluid helps to fight diseases and
infections

14. Endocrine System
•The hormones that the endocrine system release influence almost every
cell, organ, and function of our bodies.
•The endocrine system is instrumental in regulating mood, growth and
development, tissue function, and metabolism, as well as sexual function
and reproductive processes.

15. Endocrine System

16. Hypothalamus
 A part of the brain that
helps in maintaining
homeostasis
 Produces hormones that
control temperature,
moods, and more

17. Pituitary
 A gland at the base of the
skull that and secretes
hormones
 Attached to the
hypothalamus

18. Thyroid
 One of the largest
endocrine glands
 Controls how quickly the
body uses energy, makes
proteins, and how
sensitive the body is to
other hormones

19. Thymus Gland
 Endocrine System
 In the upper part of chest,
behind breastbone
 Chest cavity
 Production of lymphocytes into
t-cells
 Defend against infections and
disease

20. Adrenal Glands
 Endocrine System
 On top of kidneys
 Produces steroid hormones
 Sex hormones
 Abdominal cavity

21. Ovaries
 Female
 Release eggs and produce hormones
 Allows for fertilization
 Pelvic cavity

22. Testes Primary sexual organ
 Males
 Production of sperm and
hormones
 Allows for fertilization of
female eggs
 Pelvic cavity

23. Pancreas
 Gland
 Digestive and Endocrine
system
 Produces hormones
 Insulin
 Secretes pancreatic juice
 Digestive enzymes
 Breaks down carbs, proteins, fat

24. Parathyroid
 Controls calcium within the
blood (which effects how
strong and dense bones
are)
 They are often in the
thyroid, but their function
isn’t related to the thyroid

25. Pineal body (gland)
 Small endocrine gland
in the vertebrate brain.
It produces the
serotonin, a hormone
that affects the
modulation of
wake/sleep patterns
and seasonal
functions.

26. Location
 The Lymphatic and Endocrine systems do not have a
specific body cavity location, they are located all over
your body!

27. Location
 The Lymphatic and Endocrine systems do not have a
specific body cavity location, they are located all over
your body!

28. Related Systems
 The endocrine is related to the nervous system, as the
nervous system stimulates the brain to release certain
hormones
 The lymphatic system is related to the cardiovascular
system because lymph nodes draw interstitial fluid and
deposit it back into the blood.
