worms in the lymphatic vessels of humans. Blockage of lymph nodes inhibits flow of lymph throughout the body which results in chronic edema and can have massive swelling potential mostly in lower extremities. Signs and Symptoms Lymphoedema of the limbs‚ genital disease‚ swelling of the scrotum and penis‚ and fevers are just some of the issues reported by the people infected between 2 weeks and many years after infection. The majority show no symptoms‚ but most incur lymphatic damage and as

Lymphedema can be classified as primary (congenital malformations) or secondary (acquired obstruction. Swelling in the extremities occurs due to an excessive increased amount of lymph fluid due to an obstruction of lymphatic system. The obstruction may be in both the lymph nodes and the lymphatic vessels. Eventually this will lead to subcutaneous tissue becoming fibrotic; this will impair vascular flow and oxygen transfer to the tissues. Signs: What you can observe (list all and then √ which

Elephantiasis Description Lymphatic filariasis is commonly known as Elephantiasis. It is the enlargement of the legs‚ arms‚ genitals. According to Webster’s dictionary elephantiasis is a disease of the skin‚ in which it becomes enormously thickened‚ and is rough‚ hard‚ and fissured‚ like an elephant hide. This is cause by three different parasite infections from round worms: Wuchereria bancrofti‚ Brugia malayi‚ and Brugia timori. The worms block the lymphatic system- a system network of channels‚ lymph

Sensitivity • The skin is a very sensitive due to having various stimuli to its many sensory nerve endings which detect change in temperature‚ pressure and pain. The skin is considered as an extension of the nervous system. Excretion • The Skin functions as a excretory system‚ removing waste through perspiration. • Sweat is produced by the eccrine glands of the skin‚ which helps remove some waste materials from the skin such as urea‚ uric acid‚ ammonia and lactic acid.

is a cancer that starts in the cells of the lymph system‚ which is part of the body’s immune system.1 It is a type of cancer of the blood that affects the white blood cells‚ which are usually involved in protecting against infections. NHL is not a single disease‚ but rather a group of at least 31 closely related cancers that affect the lymphatic system.2 Although the different types of NHL have some things in common‚ particularly their lymphatic origin‚ they differ in their appearance under the

Elephantiasis. The enlargement of the limbs and other areas of the bodies are caused by obstruction of lymph flow and possibly blood circulation. The blockage can be due to recurrent attacks of a bacterial infection which causes inflammation of the lymphatic vessels. This continues and causes swelling‚ then without medical help the problem gets worse and becomes extremely enlarged. The death of surrounding tissues may also occur from an obstructed blood supply. Elephantiasis is characterized by the
