The lymphatic system consists of lymph, lymph nodes, lymph vessels, the spleen, thymus, tonsils, bone marrow and skin-associated lymphoid tissues. The main cells of the lymphatic system are lymphocytes such as B cells, T cells, natural killer cells, and supporting cells that interact with and present antigens to lymphocytes. The lymphatic system protects the body from foreign materials, assists in fluid circulation, and transports dietary fats. The thymus gland aids in the maturation of T cells while the spleen filters blood and mounts an immune response to antigens. Lymph nodes are located around arteries and veins and filter lymph fluid draining tissues.

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.
Factors responsible for erythropoiesis. Development and maturation of erythrocytes require mostly three types of factors
1. General factors 2. Maturation factors 3. Factors necessary for hemoglobin formation.
The lymphatic system consists of organs, ducts, and nodes. It transports a watery clear fluid called LYMPH distributes immune cells and other factors throughout the body.
Connective tissue is the tissue that connects or separates, and supports all the other types of tissues in the body. Like all tissue types, it consists of cells surrounded by a compartment of fluid called the extracellular matrix (ECM). However connective tissue differs from other types in that its cells are loosely, rather than tightly, packed within the ECM.
Muscles is a contractile tissue which brings about movement.
Muscle cell responsible for our movement both visible and invisible, example walking, talking, bowel movement ,urination, breathing, heartbeats, the dilation and constriction of the pupils of our eyes and many other.
When we are still sitting or standing muscle cells keep us erect.

Lymphatic organs of body
• Lymphoid organs are the organs, in which lymphocytes can differentiate and proliferate.
• They are part of lymphatic system.
• The lymphatic system is part of circulatory system and a vital part of the immune system, comprising a network of lymphatic vessels that carry a clear fluid called lymph (from Latin, lympha meaning "water" directionally towards the heart.
• Unlike the cardiovascular system, the lymphatic system is not a closed system.
• HISTORY –
• Hippocrates and Aristotle described lymph as white fluid.
• Gasparo aselli an Italian anatomist discovered lymphatic vessels in 1622.
• Van hook in 1652 demonstrated the presence of cisterna chyli and thoracic duct in humans.
• William hunter in the late 18th century was the first to describe the functions of lymphatic system.
• Olof Rudbeck of Swedish university described that lymphatic system constitute a circulatory system separate from blood circulation and this fact was accepted by Royal society of London.

The lymphatic system has three functions:
Fluid recovery.
Immunity
Lipid absorption
The lymphatic vessels of the small intestine receive the special designation of lacteals or chyliferous vessels.
The components of the lymphatic system are :-
lymph, the recovered fluid;
Lymphatic vessels, which transport the lymph;
Lymphatic tissue, composed of aggregates of lymphocytes and macrophages that populate many organs of the body; and
Lymphatic organs, in which these cells are especially concentrated and which are set off from surrounding organs by connective tissue capsules.

3. Lymphatic System
• Not a primary tissue type but a variety of connective
tissue.
• Consists of:
- lymph
- network of vessels
- lymph nodes and nodules, MALT
- tonsils
- spleen
- thymus gland
- bone marrow
4. CELLS OF LYMPHATIC SYSTEM
Chief cells are lymphocytes-
• B lymphocytes
• T lymphocytes
• Natural killer cells
• Supporting cells-
– interact with lymphocyte
– Present antigens to
Lymphocytes
• OTHER TYPE OF WBC’S
-monocyte
-macrophages
-neutrophils
-eosinophil
-basophils

9. FUNCTIONS
• protects body against foreign material - The site of clonal
production of immunocompetent lymphocytes and
macrophages in the specific immune response.
• assists in circulation of body fluids between cells and
bloodstream - Maintains pressure & volume of
extracellular fluid by returning excess water to the
circulation.
• transports dietary fats
10. THYMUS
• Introduction
• Gross anatomy
• development
• Histology
-Circulation
-Relation with
immunology
• Functions
• Age changes
• Recent advances

11. THYMUS
• Bi-lobed organ
• Located in superior
mediasternum ant to heart
and great vessels.
• largest and most active
during prenatal period and
infancy
• after puberty it decreases
in size
• Capsule- incomplete septa
• No Afferent lymphatics
12. • composed of lymphatic tissue
• subdivided into lobules
• immature T cells originating in the bone
marrow migrate to thymus via blood
• in thymus, cells develop into mature T cells
for release into circulation
• thymic hormones aid in maturation of T cells
THYMUS
16. 16
Changes of Thymic Structure with Age
(involution)
• Largest at birth
• fully functional at 20 weeks of foetal life.
• progressive involution of adipose tissue.
– Accelerated by adrenal corticosteroids and sex hormones
• In juveniles:
– isolation of cortical compartments,
– reduction of cortical and medullary volume, and
– appearance of more, larger blood vessels,
• until the adult thymus is mainly dominated by fat.
25. The Spleen
• largest lymphatic organ
• In upper left quadrant of the
abdominal cavity.
• size of a cupped hand
• Functions
– filters the blood
– react immunologically to
blood-borne antigens,
– removes defective blood cells
– store blood cells &platelets
– hematopoiesis
25
26. The Spleen
• Size: 1 X 3 X 5 inches
• Weight: 7 ounce
• Relation: 9-11 ribs in mid-
axillary line
27. LIGAMENTS
• Gastrosplenic ligament passes to greater curvature of
stomach (carries short gastric and left gastroepiploic vessels)
• Lienorenal ligament passes to posterior abdominal wall
(contains splenic vessels and tail of pancreas).
29. RELATIONS
• Posteriorly- left dome of
diaphragm separating it
from pleura, left lung and
9th, 10th & 11th ribs
• Anteriorly- stomach
• Inferiorly- splenic flexure of
colon
• Medially- left kidney
• Tail of pancreas is related at
the hilum of spleen
30. BLOOD SUPPLY
• Splenic artery- largest
branch of coeliac axis
• Splenic vein joins
superior mesenteric
vein to form portal
vein
31. 31
STRUCTURE
• It has a thin fibrous capsule, to which peritoneum adheres.
• The fibrous septae of capsule extends into spleen as
trabeculae between which lies splenic pulp.
• Red pulp
– This has large numbers of red blood cells (RBCs).
– It consists of splenic sinuses, separated by splenic cords (of
Billroth)
• White pulp
– WBC, mainly lymphocytes around the central artery in a
cylindrical fashion -periarterial lymphatic sheath (PALS) of the
artery.
34. CLINICAL ANATOMY
• During splenectomy, close relation of pancreatic tail to
the hilum and splenic pedicle must be remembered; it
is easily wounded.
• Stab wound of posterior left chest may penetrate
diaphragm and damage the spleen. Spleen is the
commonest organ ruptured by blunt trauma.
• Accessory spleens may occur near the hilum, in the tail
of pancreas, omentum, mesentery, ovary and even
testis.
Editor's Notes
Primary l org.
After puberty much of the parenchyma of the thymus, in particular cortical lymphoid tissue, is replaced by adipose tissue. The process, which is called involution, initially proceeds rapidly but slows down in adulthood. Involution is under the control of steroid hormones (both sexual hormones and stress hormones). Although most pronounced in the thymus, involution is a common feature of all lymphoid tissues.Another age-related phenomenon is the increase in size of the thymic (or Hassall's) corpuscles. Thymic corpuscles are rounded eosinophilic structures, which consist of concentrically arranged, flattened cells. Thymic corpuscles are likely to be formed by reticular cells. Similar structures occur also in the tonsils. The size of these structures varies from 20 µm to more than 100 µm in diameter. Thymic corpuscles may calcify, and their core may "dissolve" leading to the formation of a cyst.
