The endomembrane system is a system of organelles working together for the same goal. This system compartmentalizes the cell restricting certain metabolic reactions to certain areas of the cell. Phospholipids are a vital element of the endomembrane system it is these bilayers that cover structures like the nucleus‚ vacuoles‚ the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)‚ vesicles‚ and the cell itself. It is because of the unique properties of the phospholipid bilayer that vesicles are able to so easily fuse with

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

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
