    Study Notes

    Lymphatic System and Lymphoid Organs Overview

    • Lymphatic vessels form a one-way system directing lymph flow towards the heart
    • Lymph vessels include microscopic, permeable capillaries, collecting vessels, and trunks
    • Lymphatic capillaries are highly permeable and have one-way valves to allow fluid entry but prevent escape
    • During inflammation, lymph capillaries absorb cell debris, pathogens, and cancer cells
    • Lacteals are specialized lymph capillaries in the intestinal mucosa that absorb digested fat
    • Lymphatic collecting vessels have thinner walls, internal valves, and frequently anastomose
    • Lymphatic trunks are formed by the union of collecting vessels and drain large body areas
    • Two main lymphatic trunks are the right lymphatic duct and the thoracic duct
    • The lymphatic system lacks a pump and uses methods like skeletal muscle contraction for lymph transportation
    • Lymphoid organs include lymph nodes, spleen, thymus, tonsils, and Peyer’s patches
    • Lymphocytes, including T cells and B cells, are the main cells involved in the immune response
    • Lymph nodes are principal organs for filtration, immune system activation, and house lymphocytes to proliferate
