Human anatomy and physiology-1st. || topic- lymphatic system
≦ Lymphatic system≧
✷ Lymph are the filtered product of blood which contain large amount of WBC and small amount of plasma.
✷ This system includes lymph , lymphatic vessels, lymph nodes, lymphatic organs and lymphatic capillaries.
✷ This system was first introduced by gasproaseli in 1627.
✷ When blood flows in blood vessels then due to construction of blood vessels it's WBC part is driend out and collected in a separate vessel lymphatic vessels.
≦Composition of lymph≧
✷ lymph is very similar to the WBC and plasma and it contains fat and in lesser amount of protein.
✷ In lymph the lymphocytes cells concerntration is very high than other WBC cells.
✷ As compare to blood they are alkaline in nature and contains very neglizable amount of Neutrients and protein.
✷In lymph large amount of fat & lipid is present and less amount Calcuim and phosphorus is present.
✷ lymph also contain large amount of antigen and antibody which supports the immune system of human body .
≦ Part of lymphatic system≧
This includes;
1. Lymphatic vessels
2. Lymphatic capillaries
3. Lymphatic nodes
4. Lymphatic organ
≦Lymph vessels and lymph circulation≧
✷ The lymph produced in lymph nodes and lymphatic organs such as spleen, thymus , tonsil and circulate to the whole body with the help of lymphatic vessels and capplaries.
✷ The lymphatic capillaries are thin walled capplaries whose walls are made of single layer of cell.
✷ The network of capillaries spreat into the interstitial space so that they remain in close to the cell walls and blood capillaries.
✷ The lymph flow in lymph vessels and capplaries they transport Oxygen , Neutrients and harmones to the cell because blood vessels are not directly in contact with cells.
≦Lymph nodes≧
✷ That place where larger lymph capplaries are joined and make a station , this is called lymph nodes.
✷ Lymph nodes are present at several places in body .
✷ Lymphatic vessels are larger in size and where many Lymphatic vessels combined to form a lymphatic duct.
✷ Many Lymphatic ducts are open into a main duct called thoracic duct which is present on left side.
✷ the maximum lymphatic duct are run into right side.
✷ t The thoracic duct pours its contents into the left sub clavial located in the neck region.
≦Lymphatic ≧
✷ Spleen is a prominent gland slightly smaller than kidney and has a dark purple colour.
✷ It is located in the left side and attached with the outer surface of fundus part of the stomach.
✷ It's outer surface touch the diaphragm from above and kidney from left side.
✷ Spleen is made up of connective tissue and their large space filled with lymphoid tissue card splenic pulp.
✷ Spleen is also included in a capsule of collagenous tissue and muscle fibres.
≦ Function of spleen≧
✷ In the spleen red pulp are found whose maine function is the mechanical filtration of red blood cells.
✷ The function of white pulp is activating immune through humoral and cell medicated pathway.
✷ Spleen produced all type of blood cell during fatal life.
✷ It's act as a major lymphoid organ and a central player in the reticular endothelial system.
