Study Notes
Primary Organs of the Lymphatic System
- The primary organs of the lymphatic system are the bone marrow, thymus, spleen, and lymph nodes.
Secondary Organs of the Lymphatic System
- The secondary organs of the lymphatic system are the lymphoid tissues, such as the tonsils, adenoids, Peyer's patches, and lymphoid cells in the gut.
Lymphatic Drainage
- The superficial lymphatic system drains lymph from the skin, and the deep lymphatic system drains lymph from the muscles, joints, tendon sheaths, and nerves.
Inguinal Lymph Nodes
- The inguinal lymph nodes are located in the groin area.
One-Way Valves in Lymphatic Vessels
- The function of one-way valves in lymphatic vessels is to prevent backflow and ensure the unidirectional flow of lymph.
Inguinal Lymph Nodes and Saphenous Vein
- The superficial inguinal lymph nodes are arranged alongside the long saphenous vein.
Perforator Vessels
- Perforator vessels in the lymphatic system allow lymph to flow from the superficial lymphatic vessels to the deep lymphatic vessels.
