Lymphatic System Components
- Cardiovascular system component
- Lymph vessels
- Lymph capillaries
- Lymph nodes (glands)
- Lymph fluid
- Lymphatic tissues
Lymph
- The body fluid that flows through lymphatic vessels.
- Clear, colorless and rich in protein.
- Moves from blood capillaries to tissues and back to blood capillaries.
- Excess fluid is drained by lymphatic capillaries and vessels.
- Drains into the thoracic duct (draining 3/4 of the body) and the right lymphatic duct (draining the final 1/4 of the body).
- The thoracic duct opens into the left innominate vein, while the right lymphatic duct opens into the right subclavian vein.
Lymphatic Circulation
- Lymph capillaries collect excess fluid from tissues.
- Passes through lymph nodes.
- Lymph vessels return filtered lymph to the blood.
Lymph Nodes
- Filtering stations along lymphatic vessels.
- Located primarily in the:
- Axilla (armpit)
- Groin
- Neck
Lymphoid Tissues
- Collections of lymphoid tissue besides lymph nodes.
- Tonsils
- Adenoids
- Nodules located in the spleen.
- No lymphatic tissue in:
- Central nervous system (CSF)
- Bone marrow
- Eye
Spleen
- Lymphatic organ.
- Located beneath the left diaphragm, behind the stomach and protected by the 9th, 10th, and 11th ribs.
- Has a diaphramatic surface and a visceral surface related to the stomach, left kidney and pancreas.
- It has two surfaces:
- Visceral (related to the stomach, pancreas and left kidney)
- Diaphragmatic (related to the diaphragm)
- The spleen's hilum is present on its visceral surface.
