What are the function of the Lymphatic system

What Lymphatic System Function is this:

Approximately 30L of fluid pass from the blood capillaries into the interstitial fluid each day, whereas only 27L pass from the interstitial fluid back into the blood capillaries.

If the extra 3L of fluid were to remain in the interstitial fluid, edema would result, causing tissue damage and eventual death.
Fluid Balance
What Lymphatic System Function is this:

Instead, the 3L of fluid enters the lymphatic capillaries, where the fluid is called lymph, and passes through the lymphatic vessels back to the blood.

What this talking about:

Is the ability to resist damage from foreign substances such as microorganisms and harmful chemicals.
Immunity
What this talking about:

Immunity is categorized as innate immunity (nonspecific resistance) or adaptive immunity (specific immunity).
Immunity
What this talking about:

Innate immunity- in innate, the body recognizes and destroys certain foreign substances, but the response to them is the same each time the body is exposed to them.
Immunity
What this talking about:

In innate immunity, each time the body is exposed to a substance, the response is the same because specificity and memory of previous encounters is not present.
Immunity
What this talking about:

For example, each time a bacteria cell is introduced into the body, it is phagocytized
Immunity
What this talking about:

With the same speed and efficiency. In adaptive immunity, the response during the second exposure is faster and stronger than the response to the first to the first exposure because the immune system remembers the bacteria from the First exposure.
Immunity
What this talking about:

Mechanical mechanisms- prevent the entry of microbes (skin and mucous Membranes) or remove them (tears, saliva, and mucus).
Immunity
What this talking about:

Chemical mediators-promote phagocytosis and inflammation.
Immunity
What this talking about:

Complement- is a group of about 20 proteins that make up approximately 10% of the globulin part of serum. Complement can be activated by either the alternative Or classical pathway. Complement lyses cells, increases phagocytosis, attracts Immune system cells, and promote inflammation.
Immunity
What this talking about:

Interferons- are proteins that protect the body against viral infection and perhaps some form of cancer. Interferons are produced by virally infected cells and move to other cells, which are then protected.
Immunity
What this talking about:

Cells – chemotactic factors are parts of microbes or chemicals that are released by damaged tissues. Chemotaxis is the ability of white blood cells to move to tissues that release chemotactic factors. Phagocytosis is the ingestion and destruction of materials
Immunity
What this talking about:

Neutrophils- are small phagocytic cells.
Immunity
What this talking about:

Macrophages-are large phagocytic cells. They can engulf more than neutrophils can. They clean blood and lymph. Involved in the activation of B and T Cells.
Immunity
What this talking about:

Basophils and Mast cells- release chemicals that promote inflammation.
Immunity
What this talking about:

Eosinophils- release enzymes that reduce inflammation.
Immunity
What this talking about:

Natural killer cells- lyse tumor cells and virus-infected cells.
Immunity
What this talking about:

Adaptive immunity- in adaptive immunity, the body recognizes and destroys foreign substances, but the Response to them improves each time the foreign substance is encountered.

-Specificity and memory are characteristics of adaptive immunity but not innate
immunity.
Immunity
What this talking about:

-Specificity- is the ability of adaptive immunity to recognize a particular substance.

For example, innate immunity can act against bacteria in general, whereas adaptive
Immunity can distinguish among different kinds of bacteria.
Immunity
What this talking about:

Memory- is the ability of adaptive immunity to remember previous encounters with
a particular substance and, as a result, to respond to it more rapidly.


Adaptive immunity involves the ability to recognize, respond to, and remember a Particular substance. Substances that stimulate adaptive immunity are called Antigens. They are large molecules. Haptens- are small molecules capable of Combining with larger molecules like blood proteins to stimulate an adaptive Immune system response.


B cells are responsible for humoral, or antibody-mediated immunity. T cells are involved with cell-mediated immunity.
