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

1. Within the circulatory system the liver has a unique anatomic location in that it effectively filters all blood coming from the intestinal tract by way of the portal vein before it is pumped to the general circulation. The liver often sees drugs at their highest concentrations‚ since it is the first organ perfused by blood containing the drug after absorption from the intestinal tract. Approximately 10-15% of total blood volume can be presented to the liver at any given time. The entire absorbed

The endocrine system refers to the different organs of the body that are responsible for secreting hormones that affect bodily processes. Better known for their ability to process waste‚ the kidneys are responsible for the secretion of four different hormones: rennin‚ calcitriol‚ erythropoietin and thrombopoietin These chemicals released by the kidneys affect a wide range of bodily processes dealing with the circulatory and skeletal systems. Understanding the endocrine functions of the

The human respiratory system is one of the chief and most important which is very instrumental for survival. Prime function of the respiratory system is breathing. Inhaling oxygen and exhaling carbon dioxide is all that takes plays by function of the respiratory organs. Breathing is a process by which oxygen in the air is brought in to the lungs and further in to close contact with blood. The blood absorbs the oxygen and carries to all parts of the body. Simultaneously blood gives up waste matter
