Type I Diabetes is usually diagnosed in children and young adults. It was previously known as juvenile diabetes. Type I diabetes is usually caused by an auto-immune reaction in which the cells that produce insulin are attacked by

The lymphatic system The lymphatic system belongs to the circulatory system; it consists of a network of lymphatic vessels which carry around fluid which is known as lymph. These carry the fluid towards the heart in different directions. These vessels are spread out the human body. The vessels are similar to that of the circulatory systems vessels as it consists of smaller lymphatic capillaries that form vessels. Lymph fluid is when the tissue fluid is collected though the lymph capillaries. When

LYMPHATIC SYSTEM * Carries fluid in one direction‚ from the tissues to the circulatory system. Functions of the Lymphatic System 1. Fluid Balance * Collecting excess fluid and particulate matter from tissues and depositing them in the bloodstream. 2. Fat Absorption * Absorbs fats and other substance from the digestive tract through lymphatic vessels called lacteals located in the lining of the small intestine. * Fat enters the lacteals and pass through the lymphatic vessels

Disorders and Diseases Affecting the Lymphatic System The lymphatic system plays a key role in regulating the flow of fluids and proteins between the tissues and the general circulation. The lymphatic vessels collect fluid‚ white blood cells‚ proteins‚ and particulate matter that have leaked out of the capillaries into interstitial space. Lymph fluid then flows to the lymph nodes‚ which act as filters. The fluid is transported to the circulatory system routed through the lymphatic duct and thoracic

important systems in the body is the lymphatic system. One of many functions in the lymphatic system is to cleanse leaked plasma of bacteria and other foreign substances and return it to the blood stream. This also acts as a surveillance system for immune system cells. Another function of the lymphatic system is to stop or slow pathogen entry‚ prevent disease-causing microorganisms from spreading and to strengthen the response of the immune system. Also‚ the lymphatic system protects against disease by

This system is critical to our body’s ability to detoxify and regenerate tissues‚ filter out toxins and foreign substances‚ recover crucial substances that have escaped from the blood‚ and maintain a healthy immune system.

Kayla Burkette The Lymphatic System The lymphatic system is one of the most important systems in our body. It is critical to our body’s ability to detoxify‚ nourish and regenerate tissue‚ filter out metabolic waste and inorganic material‚ and maintain a healthy immune system. The system is a vascular network of tubules and ducts that collect‚ filter‚ and return lymph to blood circulation. Lymph is a clear fluid that comes from blood plasma‚ which exits blood vessels at capillary beds. This fluid
