This document discusses the lymphatic system. It describes how lymph fluid is formed from interstitial fluid through filtration in capillaries and collects in lymph vessels. Lymph contains white blood cells and travels through lymph nodes before draining into veins. The lymphatic system helps fight infection through immune responses in lymph nodes and transports lipids and vitamins. Common lymphatic disorders include lymphedema from obstruction, lymphadenopathy from infection or disease, and lymphomas which are cancers of lymph tissue.
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.

The stomach is an important organ and the most dilated portion of the digestive system. The esophagus precedes it, and the small intestine follows. It is a large, muscular, and hollow organ allowing for a capacity to hold food. It is comprised of 4 main regions, the cardia, fundus, body, and pylorus.
Blood is carried through the body via blood vessels. An artery is a blood vessel that carries blood away from the heart, where it branches into ever-smaller vessels.

Anatomy & Physiology - LYMPHATIC SYSTEM PPT By wincy Thirumuruganthiru murugan
lymphatic system:DEFINITION:
The lymphatic system is a network of vessels and organs that regulates the amount of fluid in the human body and defends it against infections
Lymph
Lymph is a transudative fluid that is transparent and yellow. It is formed when fluid leaves the capillary bed in tissues due to hydrostatic pressure.
LYMPHATIC VESSELS :
THE TUBAL STRUCTURES CARRY THE LYMPH FLUID FROM THE TISSUE TO THE BLOOD STREAM.
TYPES OF VESSELS :
AFFERENT VS EFFERENT LYMPH VESSELS:
Lymphatic capillaries
Lymphatic capillaries are the smallest lymphatic vessels that collect the interstitial fluid from the tissues. There are also special types of lymphatic capillaries called lacteals. These capillaries absorb nutrients from the small intestine.
COMPOSITION OF THE LYMPH FLUID:
(around 95%) comprised of water.
The remaining 5% is composed of proteins, lipids, carbohydrates
VOLUME OF LYMPH : The average adult produces between 3-4 litres/ day.
Lymphatic pathway/circulation:
TYPES OF LYMPHATIC VESSELS
SUPERFICIAL AND DEEP LYMPHATIC VESSELS.
LYMPHATIC TRUNKS: The efferent vessels empty into the lymphatic trunks. There are four pairs of trunks:
Lumbar,
Bronchomediastinal,
Subclavian and
Jugular.
LYMPHATIC DUCT:
The lymphatic trunks then converge into the two lymphatic ducts; the right lymph duct and thoracic duct. Lymphatic vessels vs. blood vessels
Lymphoid organs : The Lymphoid organs are the sites where the maturation and proliferation of lymphocytes occur and help carry out various immune functions.
Types of Lymphoid Organs
1. Primary Lymphoid Organs: bone marrow and thymus 2. Secondary Lymphoid Organs: lymph nodes, spleen, tonsils, Peyer’s patches of the small intestine, and Mucosal associated lymphoid tissues (MALT). 3. Tertiary Lymphoid Organs: These organs also play a prominent role in the immune response to cancer.
The Lymphoid Organs Functions
The functions of lymphoid organs are as follows:1. The main function of lymphoid organs is developing and providing immunity to the body.2. The primary lymphoid organs, i.e., the bone marrow and thymus, are the sites where the proliferation and maturation of B-lymphocytes and T-lymphocytes take place.3. Bone marrow is involved in the production of blood cells, i.e., RBCs (or erythrocytes), WBCs (or leucocytes), and Platelets (or thrombocytes).4. The spleen helps in the removal of damaged red blood cells. In foetal conditions, this is also a haematopoietic organ.5. Lymph nodes and spleen helps in filtering out and destroying the unwanted lymphocytes. They also help in maintaining the population of mature lymphocytes to enable the adaptive immune response to begin.6. The tonsils prevent foreign materials and pathogens from entering the body.
Lymphocytes:
Lymphocytes are a type of WBC (leucocytes) that are the main components of our immune system.
Clinical Relevance:
lymphoma,
Lymphatic filariasis, Lymphadenopathy, Lymphedema

THE LYMPHATIC SYSTEM// LYMPH CIRCULATION//LYMPH VESSELS// LYMPH ORGANS Wasim Ak
The lymphatic system is a sub-system of circulatory system and immune system.
It is a type of drainage system of human body which collects all the tissue fluids (constantly leaking out of the bloodstream) and takes back to the major veins through a network of lymph vessels.
The lymphatic system consists of -
Lymph – colourless tissue fluid
Lymphatic organs – Thymus, Bone Marrow, Lymph nodes, Spleen, Tonsils.
Lymph vessels – through which lymph circulation takes place.
It maintains balance between blood and tissues:
Blood volume : 5 – 6L
Interstitial fluid volume: 10 – 11L
Lymph volume: 2 – 3L.
It helps in Immunity.
It fascilitate absorption of fats and hormones:
Breakdown products of fat and fat-soluble vitamins are absorbed into the central lacteals (lymphatic vessels) of the villi.
Normal blood circulation forces fluid out of the bloodstream and that leads in the increase in the interstitial fluid volume.
Due to osmotic pressure this interstitial fluid will be collected by the fine lymphatic capillaries.
Now this fluid is lymph and it has the same mineral distribution as that of blood plasma.
The lymph is transported to lymph nodes and organs where the pathogen will be killed by lymphocytes and lymph will be filtered.
The back flow of lymph is prevented by the valves present in lymph vessels.
Lymph moves from lymphatic vessels to lymphatic trunks, collecting ducts, and ultimately into the Subclavian veins.

Palestine last event orientationfvgnh .pptxRaedMohamed3
An EFL lesson about the current events in Palestine. It is intended to be for intermediate students who wish to increase their listening skills through a short lesson in power point.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The Indian economy is classified into different sectors to simplify the analysis and understanding of economic activities. For Class 10, it's essential to grasp the sectors of the Indian economy, understand their characteristics, and recognize their importance. This guide will provide detailed notes on the Sectors of the Indian Economy Class 10, using specific long-tail keywords to enhance comprehension.

3. Lymphatic organs and tissues
Primary lymphatic organs are red bone
marrow and the thymus glands. Stem cells in
red bone marrow give rise to mature B cells
and to pre-T cells. T cells migrate in thymus
and mature there.
Secondary lymphatic organs include lymph
nodes, spleen and lymphatic nodules. These
are the sites for immune responses.

6. LYMPH FLUID
Lymph fluid is the clear interstitial fluid that
is found between the cells of the human
body. This fluid enters the lymph vessels
by the method of filtration through the
pores that are present in the walls of
capillaries.
The secreted lymph then travels to any
one or more of the lymph nodes before
emptying eventually into the right or the
left subclavian vein where it mixes back
7. LYMPH FORMATION
Due to continuous exchange of substances
between the cells and the interstitial fluid, its
composition continuously changes.
As interstitial fluid forms at the arterial end of the
capillaries, due to the higher blood pressure that
it flows under when compared to veins, most of
it returns to the venous ends.
However, the rest enters the lymph capillaries
as lymph.

9. LYMPH COMPOSITION
Lymph has a composition that is quite similar to
that of interstitial fluid. However, it may differ
slightly based on the type of tissue that it is
draining. Lymph contains cells like white blood
cells. The concentration of lymphocytes, a type
of white blood cell, is higher in the lymph fluid
when it leaves a lymph node.
It has no RBCs and larger proteins.
Chylomicrons are rich in triglycerides, lipids
enters in lacteal. Whereas, protein is 10 times
high in lymphatic vessels of liver as compared
10. LYMPH CIRCULATION
There are certain tubular vessels that are
responsible for transporting lymph back into the
blood stream, thus, ultimately replacing the volume
of blood lost during interstitial fluid formation.
These channels through which lymph flows are
known as lymphatic channels. Since there is no
central pump in the lymphatic system, unlike the
cardiovascular system, lymph still travels from one
center to another.
This occurs even under low pressure due to the
propulsion of lymph through the lymphatic channels
by contraction and relaxation of the smooth muscles,
valves and due to adjacent arterial pulsation.

12. Functions 0f Lymphatic System
Draining Interstitial Fluid
Lymphatic vessels transport lipids and
lipid soluble vitamins (ADE & K) absorbed by
the GIT to the blood
Facilitating immune response.
Lymphocytes and macrophages recognize
foreign cells, microbes, toxin & cancer cells.
.
13. Functions
System respond 2 ways:
Lymphocyte T cells destroy the invader
cells causing them to rupture or releasing
cytotoxic substances.
Lymphocytes B cells differentiate in
plasma cells, which secret antibodies that
combine with specific foreign substances
14. Lymph Disorders
There are many lymphatic system diseases
that can eventually affect the composition or
flow of lymph. These diseases normally affect
the lymph nodes. These include:
Lymphedema is the condition where there is
obstruction of the lymphatic system. In this
condition, there is fluid build up which leads to
edema and swelling. This may occur due to
either obstruction due to an overgrowth or due
to an infections
15. Disorders
Lymphadenopathy is an increase in the size of the
lymph nodes. This normally signifies the presence of
an infection or disease in the body.
Lymphadenitis is a condition where there is
inflammation of the lymph node and the lymphatic
system.
Lymphoma is a type of cancer that arises from the
lymph nodes. In this condition, the lymphocytes
undergo changes and start to multiply uncontrollably.
Lymphatic system is an important part of the body's
defense system which helps to fight off infections,
most of which is carried out by this clear fluid.
