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!
