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.
