Study Notes
Lymphatic System
- The right lymphatic duct drains lymphatic vessels in the right upper quadrant of the body.
Compression of Lymphatic Vessels
- Increased pressure and inflammation can cause compression of lymphatic vessels.
Lymphatic Capillaries
- Lymphatic capillaries are not present in the central nervous system.
Lymphatic System Functions
- The lymphatic system is not responsible for storing nutrients.
Lymphatic Capillaries Function
- The primary function of lymphatic capillaries is to absorb and transport lipids and fats.
Lymphocyte Origin
- Lymphocytes originate from the bone marrow.
Lingual Tonsils
- The function of lingual tonsils is to aid in the immune response by detecting pathogens in the oropharynx.
Spleen Function
- The main function of the spleen is to filter the blood and remove old or damaged red blood cells.
Thymus Gland Location
- The thymus gland is located in the mediastinum, posterior to the sternum.
Lymphatic Sinuses
- Lymphatic sinuses are lymph-filled spaces that allow for the exchange of substances between lymph and blood vessels.
