also, it returns interstitial fluid and leaked plasma proteins back to the blood

Lymph- interstital fluid once it has entered lymphatic vessels

Front 2

What does the spleen filter?

Back 2

blood; filled with B, T, and macrophages

reticular organ

Front 3

Back 3

air

Front 4

What are the three types of tonsils?

Back 4

pharyngeal (adenoids): in the nasil cavity; can cause snoaring when swollen or sinus infection

palatine: can see filters mostly air: catches food and dust..need to come out when causes more problems than helping

Front 5

small intestines

Back 5

illieum-lymphocytes keep bacteria to stay-peyers patches pockets of tissues along small intestines

Front 6

large intestines

Back 6

appendix -place where theres alot of lymph

Front 7

bronchial tubes

Back 7

lymphode patches, all digestive system lymphocytes=MALT tissues
mucosial layers

spleen and lymph nodes are not a malt tissue!

Front 8

lymphatic vessels

Back 8

pick up excess fluid; blood lymph is semilar to blood plasma
dumps into subclavin veins
heart helps suck lymph back in

Front 9

right lymphatic duct

Back 9

drains all the right side of body to the diaphragm goes into right subclavin vein

Front 10

thoracic duct

Back 10

drains the rest of the body; empty into left subclavin vein

cisterna chyli- all lymph fluid from stomach creates a swelling digestive system

Front 11

What are the three main regions of lymph nodes?

Back 11

cervical-nose and neck
axillary- under armpit
inguinal- groin area

Front 12

facts about lymph nodes

Back 12

semilar to capillaries but only have an entry no exit

clean out tissues

CLEANSE AND EXAMINE

lacks a pumping organ

Front 13

Lymphocytes

Back 13

T cells
B cells
macrophages- eat and kill bacteria
