Paola Rodriguez BIOS255 Week 4 Lymphatic System      Learning Objectives:     State the components and functions of the lymphatic system  Trace lymphatic drainage through the major vessels of the lymphatic system.  Identify the mechanisms that cause movement of lymph through the lymph vessels.    Introduction:     The lymphatic system consists of lymphatic fluid, lymphatic vessels, lymphatic tissue, and lymphatic organs located throughout the tissues of the body. It functions to drain excess interstitial fluid from the tissues, to initiate an immune response against disease by producing and transporting lymphocytes, and to transport dietary lipids absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract into the blood. Lymphatic capillaries extend throughout the tissues of the body among blood capillary beds. Interstitial fluid, similar in composition to blood plasma, leaches from the blood capillaries into the surrounding tissue, bathing the cells and supplying each one with nutrients, oxygen, and water while also removing waste, carbon dioxide, and water. Around 30 liters of fluid enter the arteriolar end of capillaries every day, but only 27 liters return to the venous capillaries. The lymphatic system collects the missing 3 liters from the interstitial space and returns it to the venous system. Let’s explore this system that can be found in so many different places and perform multiple roles!    Assignment     Part 1:  Complete the activities on Anatomy.TV for the Lymphatic System and Immunity: Introduction, Vessels and Circulation, Organs and Tissues.    To access Anatomy.TV: Resources tab>Library>Library Resources-Database A- Z>Anatomy.TV>Titles(default tab): Choose Lymphatic system and Immunity>choose assigned sections    You will then work through the material and activities by scrolling down on the right. This will allow you to see and work through all activities for that section.  As you complete the lab activities, have the lab report ready to record data.     Part 2:  Complete the lab report.     
Lymphatic System Lab Report      1.  List the 4 components of the lymphatic system described in the introduction. (1 point; 1/4 point each)   Lymph, lymphatic vessels, lymphatic tissue, and lymphatic organs.     2. List 3 functions of the lymphatic system. (1.5 points total; 1/2 point each)   defending your body from pathogens, keeping body fluids balanced, and eliminating cellular waste.   3. List 3 secondary organs of the lymphatic system. (1.5 points; ½ point each)   Spleen lymph nodes, and diffuse lymphatic tissue   4. List the 3 tonsils  and  indicate their locations. (3 points)     1. Palatine tonsil- posterior region of oral cavity between the glossopalatine and haryngopalatine 2. Pharyngeal Tonsil – posterior wall of the nasopharynx 3. Lingual Tonsil- posterior surface of tongue  
5. Identify structures in the following image from the Vessels and Circulation tab: you will need to click on “Lymphatic Capillaries”  (1/2 point each; 2.5 points total)  A. Arteriole B. Lymphatic capillary C. Anchor filaments D. Lymphatic capillary pore E. Lymphatic vessel cell 6. Describe 2 ways in which the intestines play a role in the lymphatic system. (1 point)  1- Fats that are too large to be absorbed by blood capillaries are transported into venous circulation by lymphatic vessels in the small intestine known as lacteals. 2- The GALT (gut assisted lymphoid tissue) system protects the body from ingested pathogens. Found in the large and small intestines.   7. Describe the structure  and  function of the thoracic duct. (1 point)   This structure, which measures between 38 and 45 cm in length, creates the biggest confluence of lymph veins in the body. Both the lower right and left sides of the body provide it with lymph. originating from the Cisterna When the left internal jugular vein and the left subclavian vein converge, the cheli ascends the thorax to the left of the spinal column, unites with the neck vessels, and empties into the left subclavian vein.

  8. What are the 2 mechanisms that allow movement of lymph through the lymph vessels? (1 point; ½ point each)    Skeletal muscle pump which allows blood to be returned to the heart from the lower body and Respiratory Pump as the thoracic pressure decreases with inhalation which aids the return of fluid to the thoracic cavity from the abdominal cavity.   9. If someone has their spleen removed surgically what could be the clinical consequence? (1 point)  Increased risks of infections.   10. Describe how the skeletal system plays an important role in the lymphatic system.  (1.5) point)    The skeletal system functions as a unit to aid in bodily circulation. The skeletal, cardiac, and lymphatic systems all aid in moving nutrients to where they are needed and removing any germs that may be present.       Grading Rubric for Lab Report   Activity   Deliverable   Points   Part 1  Complete lab activities  15  Part 2  Complete lab report   15  Total   Complete all lab activities   30
