|
The lymphatic system returns tissue fluid to general circulation through the ? duct or the right ? duct to the ? vein near the heart
|
thoracic
lymphatic subclavian |
|
|
The lymphatic system carries away excess fluid from ? tissue
|
inflamed
|
|
|
The lymph system concentrates and processes foreign invaders and initiates the ? immune response
|
specific
|
|
|
Other organs and tissues that perform lymphoid functions are the ? nodes, ?,?, Galt, and the pharynx.
|
lymph
thymus spleen |
|
|
? nodes are small encapsulated bean shaped organs stationed, usually in clusters, along lymphatic channels and large blood vessels of the thoracic and abdominal cavities
|
lymph
|
|

|
The spleens primary function is to remove worn-out ? from circulation and its most important immunological function is the filtering of ? from the blood.

|
thymus
|
|
|
The ? gland is largest at birth and shrinks in adulthood.

|
|
Thymic hormones help ? develop specificity to be released as mature T-cells
