Lymphatic system and Immunity
This PPT covers the concepts of Lymphatic system and Immunity. This includes functions of Lymphatic system, components of Lymphatic system, Lymphatic organs and tissues, formation and flow of lymph and composition of Lymph
The lymphatic system
The lymphatic system consists of lymph vessels, lymph nodes, and lymphoid organs that work together to drain excess interstitial fluid, transport fat and nutrients, and help the immune system fight pathogens. Lymph vessels carry lymph fluid and drain into lymph nodes which filter the lymph. Key lymphoid organs include the spleen, thymus, tonsils, Peyer's patches, and diffuse lymphatic tissues throughout the body. The lymphatic system plays an important role in immunity and maintains fluid balance.
Lymphatic System
The lymphatic system is a network of vessels, nodes, and organs that helps maintain fluid balance and provides immune functions. It is made up of lymph nodes connected by lymphatic vessels that drain lymph fluid from tissues and return it to the bloodstream. The lymphatic system contains lymphocytes and other immune cells that help fight infection and disease. Common diseases of the lymphatic system include lymphomas, which are cancers of the lymph system, and lymphedema, which is swelling caused by lymph fluid buildup. The lymphatic system works closely with the circulatory system to remove waste and toxins from the body.

The lymphatic system helps maintain fluid balance, absorbs fatty acids from the small intestine, and fights infection. It is composed of lymph, lymph vessels, lymph nodes, and organs like the spleen and thymus. Lymph forms when interstitial fluid enters lymph capillaries and is transported through increasingly large vessels before draining into the bloodstream via the thoracic duct or right lymphatic duct. Lymph nodes filter lymph and contains lymphocytes that help fight pathogens. The spleen and thymus also aid immunity.
Lymphatic system: Anatomy and Physiology
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.

Lymphatic system
The lymphatic system is part of the circulatory system and comprises a network of lymphatic vessels that carry lymph fluid directionally towards the heart. The lymph system transports excess interstitial fluid, fatty acids, and immune cells. It has multiple functions including fluid removal from tissues, absorption and transport of fats, and transportation of white blood cells and antigen-presenting cells to lymph nodes to stimulate immune responses. The lymphatic system consists of lymphatic vessels, lymphoid tissues found throughout the body, and lymphoid organs such as lymph nodes, spleen, thymus, and tonsils that are involved in immune defenses.
The Anatomy of Lymphatic System
The lymphatic system includes lymph vessels, lymph nodes, and lymph fluid that carry excess fluid from tissues and filter pathogens. It is part of the circulatory system and immune system. Lymph fluid is formed from plasma that leaks from blood vessels into tissues and is transported through lymph vessels to lymph nodes, which filter the lymph and contain immune cells. The filtered lymph then returns to the bloodstream through two main lymphatic ducts. Lymphocytes produced in bone marrow and thymus gland are key immune cells that the lymphatic system helps transport and activate against foreign pathogens.
The lymphatic system
The lymphatic system carries excess tissue fluid called lymph throughout the body and returns it to the bloodstream. It is made up of lymph nodes, lymph vessels, and lymphatic organs. The lymphatic system has four main functions: returning excess lymph to the bloodstream, filtering lymph in lymph nodes to remove bacteria and foreign particles, transporting waste from the intestines, and producing lymphocytes and antibodies for immunity. It contains diffuse lymphatic tissue in various organs, nodular tissue in lymph nodes and organs like the spleen and thymus gland. Lymph flows through a network of vessels and is filtered through lymph nodes located throughout the body in specific lymph centers.
Lymphatic system Physiology
The lymphatic system is a closed system of lymph vessels that drains lymph fluid from tissues and returns it to the bloodstream. It consists of lymph capillaries that drain into larger vessels and ultimately form the right lymphatic duct and thoracic duct, which empty into subclavian veins. The lymphatic system helps fight pathogens through innate immunity as the first line of defense and acquired immunity developed by T and B lymphocytes, which provide cellular and humoral immunity through memory and plasma cells. Cytokines are proteins secreted by immune cells that help coordinate immune responses.

Lymphatic SYSTEM
The lymphatic system involves an extensive network of vessels that passes through almost all our tissues to allow for the movement of a fluid called… lymph.
Since the lymphatic system does not have a heart to pump it, its upward movement depends on the motions of the muscle and joint pumps.
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.
A person with a throat infection, for example, may feel that their "glands" are swollen.

Fast facts about the lymphatic system
The lymphatic system plays a key role in immunity, fluid balance, and absorption of fats and fat-soluble nutrients.
The lymph nodes swell in response to infection, due to a build-up of lymph fluid, bacteria, or other organisms and immune system cells.
If lymph nodes remain swollen, if they are hard and rubbery, and if there are other symptoms, you should see a doctor.
The lymphatic system has three main functions:
It maintains the balance of fluid between the blood and tissues, known as fluid homeostasis.
It forms part of the body's immune system and helps defend against bacteria and other intruders.
It facilitates absorption of fats and fat-soluble nutrients in the digestive system.
BLOOD PLASMA
The lymphatic system consists of lymph vessels, ducts, nodes, and other tissues.
Around 2 liters of fluid leak from the cardiovascular system into body tissues every day. The lymphatic system is a network of vessels that collect these fluids, or lymph. Lymph is a clear fluid that is derived from blood plasma.
The lymph vessels form a network of branches that reach most of the body's tissues. They work in a similar way to the blood vessels.
The lymph vessels work with the veins to return fluid from the tissues.
The lymph vessels work with the veins to return fluid from the tissues.
Unlike blood, the lymphatic fluid is not pumped but squeezed through the vessels when we use our muscles.
Lymph is drained progressively towards larger vessels until it reaches the two main channels, the lymphatic ducts in our trunk.
In the lymph nodes, immune cells assess for foreign material, such as bacteria, viruses, or fungus.
Lymphaticsystem
The lymphatic system consists of lymph, lymph vessels, lymph nodes, lymph organs (spleen and thymus), and diffuse lymphoid tissue. Lymph is a clear fluid that is similar to blood plasma but lacks proteins. It is formed from interstitial fluid that leaks from blood capillaries. Lymph vessels carry lymph through the body and lymph nodes before returning it to the bloodstream. The spleen, thymus, tonsils and other lymphoid tissues are involved in immune functions like phagocytosis and lymphocyte production.
Anatomy and physiology of
The lymphatic system helps fight infection and disease. It is composed of lymph vessels that carry lymph fluid containing white blood cells. Lymph fluid is similar to plasma but contains larger particles like bacteria and damaged cells. Lymph vessels connect to lymph nodes which filter the lymph and contain lymphocytes that fight infection. The largest lymph vessels are the thoracic duct and right lymphatic duct which drain lymph into the bloodstream. Disorders of the lymphatic system include lymphomas, lymphadenitis, and lymphedema.
Lymph and lymphatic system
The document provides an overview of the lymphatic system, including its history, development, components, and functions. It discusses how the lymphatic system developed from lymph sacs in the embryo and transformed into nodes. The key components are lymphatic capillaries that collect fluid from tissues, vessels that connect to nodes, ducts like the thoracic duct that return lymph to blood circulation, and lymphoid organs like the thymus, bone marrow, spleen and nodes that help fight infection. The lymphatic system works to remove excess fluid, distribute nutrients, and fight pathogens throughout the body.

The lymphatic system is responsible for the production, transport and filtration of lymph fluid throughout the body. In addition to its important circulatory functions, the lymphatic system also has important immunological functions
The Lymphatic System & Lymphoid Organs And Tissues
The lymphatic system consists of lymphatic vessels, lymph nodes, and lymphoid tissues that work together to return interstitial fluid to the bloodstream, transport fat from the digestive tract, and help the body fight infection. Lymphatic vessels originate as microscopic capillaries that drain into larger collecting vessels, trunks, and ducts. The right lymphatic duct and thoracic duct are the two main lymphatic trunks that return lymph to the blood circulation. Lymphoid tissues include the lymph nodes, spleen, thymus, and bone marrow that contain lymphocytes like T cells and B cells which help the immune system fight pathogens and cancer cells.
Anatomy & physiology of lymphatic system
The document summarizes the anatomy and physiology of the lymphatic system and discusses pathological features of inflammation and infection. It describes the components of the lymphatic system including lymph, lymph vessels, lymph nodes, and lymphatic tissues. It then discusses the functions of the lymphatic system and pathological conditions like Hodgkin's lymphoma, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and Burkitt's lymphoma.

It begins by defining the lymphatic system and explaining its role in absorbing excess fluid, transporting fats, producing lymphocytes, and defending the body. It then describes the structure of the lymphatic system including lymphatic vessels, lymph nodes, and other organs. Key differences between the lymphatic and immune systems are highlighted such as their circulatory nature and roles in long-term immunity. Finally, common diseases of the lymphatic system like lymphedema are discussed.
LYMPHATIC SYSTEM
The lymphatic system consists of lymph fluid, lymph vessels, and lymphatic organs that include lymph nodes and tonsils. Lymph is formed from interstitial fluid and contains water, proteins, cells, and other components. It flows from lymph capillaries through collecting vessels and trunks into the thoracic duct or right lymphatic duct and returns to the bloodstream. The lymphatic system helps remove excess fluid from tissues, transports fat and proteins, and plays a role in immune defense and absorption of nutrients. Disruptions in lymph flow can cause edema or other pathologies like lymphadenopathy or elephantiasis.
Johny's A&P The lymphatic system
The lymphatic system comprises a network of lymphatic vessels that carry lymph fluid away from tissues and toward the heart. Unlike the cardiovascular system, it is not a closed system. The main functions of the lymph system are to provide an accessory return route for fluid to the bloodstream, absorb and transport fatty acids from the intestines, and transport white blood cells between tissues and lymph nodes, where immune responses occur. The four main components are lymph fluid, lymph vessels, lymphoid tissues including lymph nodes and thymus, and immune cells like lymphocytes and phagocytes that travel through the lymphatic system.
Human Anatomy and Physiology - Lymphatic system and body defenses
The lymphatic system helps maintain fluid balance, absorbs fats, and aids the immune system. It contains lymph vessels, lymph nodes, lymph, the spleen, thymus, and tonsils. Lymph nodes filter lymph and add infection-fighting lymphocytes. Together with nonspecific defenses like skin and inflammatory response, and specific defenses like antibodies and lymphocytes, the immune system protects the body from pathogens. Disorders can cause allergic reactions, immunodeficiencies, or autoimmune diseases where the immune system attacks the body's own tissues. The lymphatic system develops after birth as the baby gains its own active immunity.

Lymphology
The lymphatic system helps remove toxins and transports fat and fluids through the body. It is comprised of lymph fluid, vessels, and nodes. Lymph fluid is formed from plasma that leaks from blood vessels into tissues. It is propelled through vessels by muscle contractions and returns to the bloodstream. Lymph nodes filter the lymph and contain immune cells. They remove foreign substances from lymph and return filtered lymph to the bloodstream. Maintaining a healthy lymphatic system through exercise, breathing, and diet can help prevent diseases.
lymphatic system.pptx
The lymphatic system is a network of organs, vessels and tissues that work together to move a colorless, watery fluid called lymph throughout the body. The lymphatic system protects the body from infection by destroying old, abnormal and damaged cells and filters the lymph fluid before returning it to the bloodstream. It also maintains normal fluid levels in the body and absorbs fats and fat-soluble vitamins from the intestines. Key organs of the lymphatic system include the spleen, thymus, bone marrow, lymph nodes and mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue found in the tonsils, airways and intestines. The lymphatic system functions to collect excess fluid from tissues, support fluid
Immune lymphatic and endocrine system
1. The endocrine system regulates processes that happen slowly like growth, metabolism, mood, and development through hormones and glands.
2. Glands produce and secrete hormones into the bloodstream which are chemicals that affect distant cells and organs.
3. Major glands of the endocrine system include the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, thyroid, parathyroids, adrenal glands, pineal body, ovaries/testes, and pancreas.
Organ of immune system
The document summarizes the primary and secondary lymphoid organs of the immune system. The primary lymphoid organs, where immune cells develop, are the bone marrow and thymus. The bone marrow produces immune cells, while the thymus matures T cells. Secondary lymphoid organs, where immune responses are coordinated, include the spleen, lymph nodes, tonsils, Peyer's patches, and skin tissue. These organs filter pathogens and allow immune cells to interact.
Lecture 1 (introduction to physiology)
The human body contains complex control systems that maintain homeostasis. At the cellular level, organs are made of many cell types that perform specialized functions. The body contains two fluid compartments - intracellular and extracellular fluid, which together make up 60% of the body. The extracellular fluid transports nutrients and wastes between cells and organs. Homeostasis involves multiple organ systems that work together to maintain steady internal conditions through negative feedback loops, including respiratory, renal, gastrointestinal, and endocrine systems. Disruptions to these control mechanisms can lead to disease states.
Lymphatic system
The lymphatic system is a network of tubes that drains fluid from tissues and returns it to the bloodstream. Lymph nodes and organs like the spleen and thymus contain lymphocytes that help fight bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens. The main roles of the lymphatic system are to manage fluid levels in the body, respond to infections, and absorb fats from the intestine.
Lymphatic and immune system
The lymphatic system helps defend the body against disease by circulating lymph, a fluid containing white blood cells, throughout the body in lymphatic vessels. Lymph passes through lymph nodes, which filter the lymph and house immune cells, before draining into the bloodstream. The immune system also protects the body by responding specifically to foreign substances called antigens. White blood cells like lymphocytes and macrophages identify and eliminate pathogens. Regular yoga practice can benefit both the lymphatic and immune systems by reducing stress, improving lymphatic drainage, and stimulating the release of immune cells.

Lymphatic System
The lymphatic system helps destroy microorganisms, absorbs tissue fluid and transports it back to the bloodstream, and helps fight illnesses and infections. It is composed of lymph vessels, lymph nodes, lymphocytes like B and T cells, the spleen, thymus gland, tonsils, and bone marrow. Together these parts work to filter lymph, produce white blood cells, and defend the body against pathogens.
Principles of Hygiene 3
Principles of hygiene refer to conditions or practices which are conducive to the maintenance of health and the prevention of disease through cleanliness.
2014 The Human Body Systems ppt.ppt
The 11 body systems work together to maintain homeostasis and carry out life's functions. The circulatory system transports nutrients, wastes, gases, and hormones throughout the body using the heart, blood vessels and blood. The digestive system extracts nutrients from food through a multi-step process involving the mouth, esophagus, stomach, liver, pancreas and intestines. The nervous system controls and coordinates the body using the brain, spinal cord and nerves to regulate sensory and motor functions.

The document provides an overview of the human body's organization and systems. It discusses the different levels of structural complexity from atoms and molecules to cells, tissues, organs, and systems. The major body systems are described including musculoskeletal, digestive, urinary, reproductive, cardiovascular, nervous, endocrine, respiratory, integumentary, and their functions in maintaining homeostasis. Homeostasis involves control systems that use negative feedback to regulate internal variables like temperature, pH, and glucose levels. Imbalances can develop if control is poor and threaten health.
Lymphatic system by yogesh patel GRYIP borawan
The lymphatic system acts as a filter against microbes and other debris. It comprises lymph fluid, lymph corpuscles like lymphocytes, and lymphoid organs like lymph nodes and the spleen. Lymph nodes filter lymph and mount immune responses, while the spleen filters blood and produces immune cells. Together they defend the body against infection.
Unit 11 Human Body
The document discusses several human body systems and their interrelated functions:
1. It describes how damaging one system, like smoking damaging the lungs, can also damage related systems like the immune system.
2. It explains that the nervous and circulatory systems work together, with the nervous system increasing heart rate when a person gets excited.
3. AIDS is described as destroying the immune system, allowing infections in other systems like the respiratory and digestive systems.
4. The document then discusses how the different body systems work together through the organizational levels of cells, tissues, organs and organ systems.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

Lymphatic system
- 2. PREVIEW *THE LYMPHATIC SYSTEM is functionally related to cardiovascular system. *THE LYMPHATIC SYSTEM strengthen the immune system response by preventing the spread of disease- causing microorganisms Question to ponder: ***How do lymphatic system supplement the Cardiovascular system? ***Why is it important? ***How does it help my immune system?
- 3. PARTS OF LYMPHATIC SYSTEM I- LYMPHATIC VESSELS - pick-up the excess tissue fluid called Lymph and return it to the blood stream. *Composed of: lymphatics- make the lymph flow toward only in the heart. lymph capillaries- absorbs water and dissolved proteins between tissue cells and blood capillaries Right Lymphatic duct- drains the lymph from the right part of the body. Thoracic duct- drains lymph from the left side of the body
- 5. II- LYMPH NODES *Filter and cleans lymph. *Has macrophages that engulf and destroy foreign substances, and *Has Lymphocytes( a type of white blood cell) that fights and respond to foreign substances. *its internal framework supports the multiplication of lymphocytes. *its outer part has follicles(collection of lymphocytes) which produces plasma cells that releases antibodies.
- 7. III- OTHER LYMPHOID ORGANS *Spleen- Filters blood. It destroys worn out red- blood cells and return some of their breakdown products to the liver. *Thymus -functions at peak level only during youth. It produces thymosin that programs Lymphocyte. *Tonsils-traps and remove bacteria entering the throat. *Peyer’s patches- found on the small intestines. They capture and destroy bacteria before it penetrate the intestinal wall.
- 10. DISEASES OF LYMPHATIC SYSTEM: LYMPHEDEMA *occurs due to an accumulation of lymphatic fluid that results to swelling.
- 11. SPLENOMEGALY enlarged spleen that develops due to a viral infection.
- 12. TONSILLITIS- *Infection of the tonsils. *It become swollen and inflamed, leading to a sore throat, fever, and difficulty and pain while swallowing.
- 13. HOW TO MAINTAIN A HEALTHY LYMPHATIC SYSTEM A. Eat well * Include fruits and vegetables in your diet, these contain enzymes which are powerful lymph cleaners. B. Drink plenty of water * it prevents the build-up of toxins * helps to flush them out of the system. C. Exercise regularly *The more you move, the more active your bodily systems are.
- 14. * Regular exercise helps to keep formation of excess cholesterol at bay . *purges the body of harmful toxins and fortifies the immune system, which in turn promotes a healthy lymphatic system. D. Avoid stress * Stress and depression hamper normal functioning of your organs * Maintain a positive attitude towards life. E. Skin Brushing * dry brushing of the skin, opens up clogged pores and improves lymph flow * It stimulates cell renewal by getting rid of the dead skin cells. .
