    Study Notes

    Lymphatic System

    • Lymph: a colorless, watery fluid that circulates in the lymphatic system, carrying waste and impurities from cells
    • Lymph capillaries: blind-end tubes occurring individually or in clusters, origin of lymphatic vessels
    • Lymph nodes: glandlike structures that filter lymph, found inside lymphatic vessels
    • Lymphatic/immune system: consists of lymph, lymph nodes, thymus gland, spleen, and lymph vessels, aiding the blood system

    Muscles and Bones

    • Mandible: lower jawbone
    • Mandibular nerve: branch of the fifth cranial nerve, affecting muscles of the chin, lower lip, and external ear
    • Marginal mandibular nerve: affects muscles of the chin and lower lip
    • Masseter: one of the jaw muscles used in chewing
    • Maxillae: bones of the upper jaw
    • Maxillary nerve: supplies impulses to the upper part of the face
    • Mental nerve: affects the skin of the lower lip and chin
