Lymph is a colorless fluid that circulates through the lymphatic system, acting as an antibody against unwanted bacteria in the body. The lymphatic system consists of lymphatic vessels, lymph nodes, and organs like the spleen and thymus, all of which help in immune response and filtering debris. It plays crucial roles in supplying nutrients, draining excess fluid, and carrying absorbed fats from the digestive system to the bloodstream.

2. LYMPH
Lymph is a fluid that flows through the lymphatic
system
Lymph is a colourless, clear, white fluid
Lymph is a White fluid because tha RBC does not
present

3. LYMPH
Lymph act as a antibody and attack the unwanted
bacteria in our body
Study of lymph is called lymphatic system
Lymph containing plasma, proteins and
blood cells.
The lymphatic system forms a network of lymph vessels
through which the lymph circulates all over the body

4. LYMPHATIC SYSTEM
 The lymphatic system is a network of
tissues and organs that primarily consists of
 Lymphatic vessels that
transport the lymph
 Lymph nodes through
which the lymph passes before
returning to blood

5. LYMPHATIC SYSTEM
 Lymph nodes present at the head and neck regions of our body
 These small oval structures are an important component of the
body is immune system and helps in fighting infections
 They function as filters of lymph catching any debris or cells
present in the lymph
 There are 600 to 700 lymph nodes in the human body

6. LYMPHATIC SYSTEM
 A number of structures and organs containing lymphatic tissue
eg : spleen and thymus
Spleen
The largest lymphatic organ in the body, contains white blood
cells that fight against infection or disease
Thymus
The organ is where T cells mature . T cells help to destroy
infected or cancerous cells

7. LYMPHATIC SYSTEM
 Red bone marrow , where stem cells develop into various types
of blood cells including Lymphocytes
 Diffuse lymphoid tissue
eg : Tonsils
Tonsils
A large cluster of lymphatic cell found in the pharynx

8. FUNCTIONS OF LYMPH
 Supplies nutrients and oxygen to those parts where blood can not
reach
 It drains away excess tissue fluid and metabolites and returns
proteins to the blood from tissue spaces.
 The lymph also carries absorbed facts from small intestine to the
blood. The lymphatic capillaries of intestinal villi absorb digested
facts.
 Lymphocytes in the lymph defend the body from infections.
