↳ consists of
lymphatic vessels , lymph modes , and lymph : Raid

transported within the system
maintains tissue fluid balance as symphatic capillaries recover

Path of Lymph circulation

One-way transport netwak from tissue back to bloodstream
·




1. Initiation in
Lymphatic Capillaries
:
tiny , blind-ended vessels in interstitial
space
that collect excess IF
(lymph) protems innume cells
, ,
, and pathogens/debris
2 .

Transport through collecting vessels capillaries converge
: to form larger
collecting vessels to transport lymph to the codes
↳ vessels contain values to ensure unidirectional for
one-way

3 Filtration in lymphmodes

the path of collecting vessels

or abnormal cells

immune responses are initiated
↳ lymph is recieved thm afferent vessels and released turn

efferent vessels

Delivery via
Major Lymphatic Ducts :
converge multiple trunks

primary ducks to deliver
lymph to blood

External Parces for
supporting Lymph
Skeletal muscle contraction :
compress vessels to push lymph
respiratory pump
:
pressure changes in thoracic cavity during breathing
create suction forces to draw
lymph toward durts upward
arterial pulsations :
pulsating blood can
compress lymphatic vessels and
assist in
propulsion

Components of Immune System

body's initial rapid response to
any percieved
↳ includes physical
non-specific ,
barriers , chemical defenses , and

cells

adaptive system :
slower, but
highly specific response to
pathogens
