The diagram to the left shows the Lymphatic system which is a system of connections between organs and tissues. This network aids in the removal of waste and unwanted products from the body. The lymphatic system’s most important function is to transport white blood cells that fight infection called lymph though the body. These white blood cells contain antibodies which are built to detect‚ destroy and build immunity towards pathogens and infections that enter the body. The lymphatic system consists

Salmonella sometimes reach the brain if it does‚ people will die very quickly and the spleen can be effected to by it. If it does the spleen will affect the stomach.

disorder. This means that it is inherited from both parents. For a child to develop the disease both the mother and the father must to carry the necessary gene. If in fact the child inherits the disease he or she will experience problems with the liver‚ spleen‚ lungs‚ bone marrow‚ and in some cases the brain. The disease is caused by excessive amounts of a fatty substance called glucocerebroside. Glucocerebroside accumulates in the organs when there is a deficiency of the enzyme‚ glucocerebrosidase. This

The spleen is also an organ of the lymphatic system that filters blood. This blood-rich organ is located in the left side of the abdominal cavity. In addition to filtering the blood and cleansing it of viruses‚ bacteria‚ and other debris‚ the spleen destroys old worn out red blood cells and stores platelets and acts as a reservoir. During hemorrhage‚ the spleen contracts and releases blood back into the circulatory system to help bring levels back up to normal. Another function of the spleen is as
