| Question | Answer |
| Name functions of Lymphatic System | Immunity &Return excess fluid to interstitial space & blood stream |
| Name organs of Lymphatic System | Lymph Vessels,Lymph Nodes,Thymus,Spleen,Tonsils,Peyers Patch, |
| Lymph Vessels | One way system which Lymph flows only to the heart, elaborate system of drainage that collect excess fluid & return to bloodstream |
| Lymph Nodes | "filters lymph"clusters along lymph vessels, embedded in connective tissue,act as lymph filters,help activate immune system |
| Thymus | Bi-lobed found in inferior of neck,primary function early in life, important in fetus & infants, dies off after puberty |
| Spleen | "filter blood";bloodrich size of fist; removes old RBCs from blood supply & removes, stores & produces white blood cell lymphocytes. These stored lymphocytes produce antibodies and assist in removing microbes and other debris from the blood supply. |
| Largest Lymph organ | Spleen |
| Tonsils | Simplest lymphoid organs, form a ring around Pharynx,protect the body from harmful germs & contaminants & trap bacteria and antigens and allow the body to produce antibodies against them. |
| Peyers Patch | in mucosal lining of the ileum, which is the last section of the small intestine. interact with antigens found in the intestine to produce antibodies. |
| Important forces/organs to transport lymph | Lymoph Vessels, Lymph Nodes,Tonsils,Peyers Patch & Spleen |
