Lab 12 The Lymphatic System BIO202L Student Name: Allycia Governor Access Code (located on the lid of your lab kit): AC-Q7TOPG Lab Report Format Expectations Utilize college level grammar and professional formatting when completing this worksheet. Submissions without proper formatting, all required photos or sufficient responses will be rejected. Pre- lab Questions 1. The experiments in this lab cover the lymphatic system. Provide a brief overview of this system. Include a discussion on the structures involved, its purpose and the cells involved. ( Hint : Your response should be 5-6 sentences.) This system includes the spleen, thymus, and tonsils. The main function of this system is to keep bodily fluids within a normal range and to prevent infectioon.
Lab 12 The Lymphatic System BIO202L EXPERIMENT 1: EXAMINING THE MICROSCOPIC ANATOMY OF THE LYMPHATIC SYSTEM Introduction Questions 1. In this experiment, you will review slides containing cells from lymph nodes and from the spleen. Describe the specific functions of these tissues. Are they similar or different? How? The spleen and lymph nodes are both organs which protect the body from infectious diseases. They also both contain blood cells called macrophages. Humans have many lymph nodes, but only one spleen.
Lab 12 The Lymphatic System BIO202L Data and Observations 1. Label the arrows in the following two slides. A. lymphatic nodule B. follicular germinal center C. follicular lyphocyte corona D. medullary sinus E. red pulp F. splenic trabeculae G. there is no G

Lab 12 The Lymphatic System BIO202L
Lab 12 The Lymphatic System BIO202L Results and Discussion 1. Are there more afferent or efferent vessels attached to a lymph node? What is the functional purpose of this? There are more afferent vessels and their function is to fight infection. 2. What structural similarities did you observe between the lymph node and spleen? They are both secondary organs..
Lab 12 The Lymphatic System BIO202L EXPERIMENT 2: VIRTUAL MODEL - THE LYMPHATIC SYSTEM Introduction Questions 1. In what areas are lymph nodes clustered? Why is this desirable? Areas with clustered lymph include the axillary nodes, the cervical nodes, and the inguinal nodes. This is considered desirable because the cells work faster. 2. Explain how the flow of lymph is controlled through lymphatic vessels. It is controlled by the fluid and the blood.

Lab 12 The Lymphatic System BIO202L Results and Discussion 1. Is the cisterna chyli or the spleen more medial to the spinal cord? The cisterna chyli is anterior to the spinal cord while the spleen is lateral. 2. What is the name of the most superior lymph nodes in the head region? The cervical lymph node is the most superior. 3. Where are the popliteal nodes located? The popliteal nodes can be located in the knee. 4. What are the most inferior lymph nodes in the body called? The inguinal lymph nodes are considered to be the most inferior. 5. What component of the lymphatic system filters lymph from the upper limbs and upper external part of the thorax? The lymphatic vessels
Lab 12 The Lymphatic System BIO202L EXPERIMENT 3: FETAL PIG DISSECTION - THE LYMPHATIC SYSTEM Introduction Questions 1. Consider Step 7 of the procedure. Why do you think the procedure is specifying these specific regions? Those could be the most common 2. Consider the organ observed in Step 8. Do humans have this same organ? Research the answer to this question and discuss below. Humans have a similar organ, but not usually called the same thing.
Lab 12 The Lymphatic System BIO202L Data and Observations Insert a high resolution photo of the fetal pig you observed at the end of the experimental procedure, before you prepare it for storage . Your photo must include: Your handwritten name and access code must be clearly visible in the background. The organs studied in Step 9 are clearly visible. Photos not meeting these requirements, or that are of too low a resolution to clearly make out these features, will result in this lab submission being rejected.

Lab 12 The Lymphatic System BIO202L Results and Discussion 1. What observations did you make regarding the lymphatic system of the fetal pig? ( Hint : Your response should be 6-10 sentences long.) I can conclude from my observation that the lymphatic system is very similar to a humans. The major organ in the system is the spleen. 2. Compare and contrast the vessels of the lymphatic system and the circulatory system. ( Hint : Your response should be 3-4 sentences long.) The lymphatic system is responsible for gathering and disposing waste in the body. The circulatory system is resposible for bloodflow and making sure oxygen gets to all body parts.
