The lymphatic system consists of lymph and lymphatic vessels that transport lymph throughout the body. Lymph is interstitial fluid that has entered lymphatic capillaries and contains lymphocytes, macrophages, viruses, bacteria, and cellular debris. The main components of the lymphatic system are lymph, lymphatic vessels, lymph nodes, lymphatic trunks and ducts, and lymphatic tissue. Lymph flows from lymphatic capillaries through vessels, nodes, trunks and ducts and eventually returns to the blood circulation via the subclavian veins. The lymphatic system functions to transport fluids and nutrients, support immune responses, and absorb dietary fats.

The lymphatic system is part of the immune system. It also maintains fluid balance and plays a role in absorbing fats and fat-soluble nutrients.
The lymphatic or lymph system involves an extensive network of vessels that passes through almost all our tissues to allow for the movement of a fluid called lymph. Lymph circulates through the body in a similar way to blood.
There are about 600 lymph nodes in the body. These nodes swell in response to infection, due to a build-up of lymph fluid, bacteria, or other organisms and immune system cells.
A person with a throat infection, for example, may feel that their "glands" are swollen. Swollen glands can be felt especially under the jaw, in the armpits, or in the groin area. These are, in fact, not glands but lymph nodes.

Lymph is the fluid that flows through the lymphatic system, a system composed of lymph vessels (channels) and intervening lymph nodes whose function, like the venous system, is to return fluid from the tissues to the central circulation.
The lymphatic system is a network of tissues and organs that help rid the body of toxins, waste and other unwanted materials. The primary function of the lymphatic system is to transport lymph, a fluid containing infection-fighting white blood cells, throughout the body.
The lymphatic system is a part of the circulatory system, comprising a network of conduits called lymphatic vessels that carry a clear fluid called lymph unidirectionally toward the heart.

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

Anti ulcer drugs and their Advance pharmacology ||
Anti-ulcer drugs are medications used to prevent and treat ulcers in the stomach and upper part of the small intestine (duodenal ulcers). These ulcers are often caused by an imbalance between stomach acid and the mucosal lining, which protects the stomach lining.
||Scope: Overview of various classes of anti-ulcer drugs, their mechanisms of action, indications, side effects, and clinical considerations.

Lymphatic SystemLymphatic System
It consists of lymph & lymphatic vessels that
transport the lymph.
After interstitial fluid passes into lymphatic vessels, it
is called lymph
Difference between interstitial fluid & lymph is
location:
Interstitial fluid is found between the spaces of the
cells, & lymph is located within lymphatic vessels &
lymphatic tissue.
7. Lymphatic tissueLymphatic tissue
Lymphatic tissue is a specialized form of reticular
connective tissue that contains large numbers of
lymphocytes.
Lymphocytes are agranular white blood cells
Two types of lymphocytes participate in immune
responses:
B cells
T cells

8. 8
FunctionsFunctions
Fluid & nutrient transport
Lymphocyte development
Immune response
Reabsorbs excess interstitial fluid
• returns it to the venous circulation
• maintain blood volume levels
Transport dietary lipids
• Transport lipids & lipid-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, & K)
absorbed by the GI tract.
11. LymphLymph
Fluid present in lymphatic system.
When ISF passes through lymph capillaries it is called as
lymph.
It is then transported through lymph vessels to lymph nodes
From lymph node it is transported to ducts & trunks which
drain lymph to right or left subclavian vein, where it mixes
back with blood.
Clear, colorless fluid
Similar to blood plasma but low protein content
Contain macrophages, viruses, bacteria & cellular debris
11
13. 13
Flow of LymphFlow of Lymph
Lymphatic capillaries
Lymphatic vessels
Lymph nodes
Lymphatic trunks
Collecting ducts
The flow of lymph is regulated by movements of skeletal
muscles & through breathing movements.
This movement compress the lymphatic vessels & force
lymph towards the subclavian veins.
Lymphatic vessels contain one way valve that prevents back
flow of lymph.
14. 14
Lymphatic CapillariesLymphatic Capillaries
Microscopic vessels
tiny thin-walled vessels
closed at one end
main purpose is to drain excess
ISF from around the cell to
venous circulation
wall made up of endothelium
larger in diameter
anchoring filaments hold
endothelial cells to the nearby
tissues
15. 15
Lymphatic CapillariesLymphatic Capillaries – Lacteals– Lacteals
A lacteal is a lymphatic
capillary present in mucosa of
small intestine
It absorbs dietary fats & lipid-
soluble vitamins from the
small intestine.
Lymph has a milky color due
to the lipid called as Chyle.
17. Lymphatic VesselsLymphatic Vessels
Lymphatic capillaries combines together to form
lymphatic vessels.
Thin walled structures that carry lymph.
Lymph vessels are lined by endothelial cells
Lymph vessels pushes lymph from lymph capillaries
to the lymphatic trunk & ducts
Lymphatic vessels resemble small veins.

Capsule - Covering of dense connective tissue
Hilum - Depression on medial surface
- 4 to 5 efferent lymph vessels enters & exit, artery & vein
Trabeculae - Extensions of capsule, form partitions within the
lymph nodes
Divided into two parts
Outer cortex: Lymphocytes are arranged in follicles
Inner medulla: Lymphocytes are arranged in medullary
strands
Stroma: Along with capsule & trabeculae, reticular fibers &
fibroblast forms the stroma
32
33. FunctionFunction
Filters foreign substances from lymph & passes back to
blood
These substance are trapped by the reticular fibers
within the lymph node
Macrophages destroy the foreign substances by
phagocytosis

35. DisordersDisorders
Lymphadenitis:
It is the inflammation or enlargement of a lymph node.
Acute infection of lymph nodes called as acute lymphadenitis
caused by microbes in the lymph.
The nodes become inflamed, enlarged, congested with blood.
Splenomegaly:
It is an enlargement of the spleen.
35
36. DisordersDisorders
Lymphomas:
There are malignant tumours of lymphoid tissue.
These are classified as either Hodgkins or non-Hodgkins
lymphomas.
It affects individuals between age group of 15 & 35 and it is
more common in males.
