 All body tissues are bathed in tissue
fluid, consisting of the diffusible
constituent of blood & waste material
from cell. Some tissue fluid returnes
to capillaries at their venous end the
reminder defuses through the more
permeable wall of the lymph
capillaries, forming lymph.
Introduction:-
 Cardiovascular & lymphatic system both are
supply fluid flow in to the body. but bothe are
deferent type of fluid..
 Lymphatic system does not having closed
circuit & central pump like heart.
Lymph
Lymph vessels
Lymph node
Lymph organ eg.
Spleen, Thymus
Diffuse lymphoid
tissue eg. Tonsil
It consist of...........
 Return tissue fluid to the
bloodstream.
 It absorbs and transports fat and fat
soluble vitamins from the intestine..
 Kill the micro-organism.
Function of L.S.:-
travel along with blood
vessels.
1) lymphatic vessels
lymphatic capillary
lymphatic trunks
lymphatic collecting vessels
lymphatic ducts
Lymphatic vessels start
with lymphatic capillaries
 Meaning:-After blood travels through
capillary beds and is moved to the venous
system, some of its fluid is left behind in the
tissues it called lymph.
 Lymph is a clear, colorless liquid with a
composition similar to blood plasma.
 It is nothing but the clear, watery blood
plasma leaked out through the capillary walls
to flow around the cells.
 It contains oxygen, proteins, glucose and
white blood cells.
Lymph:-
 All the cells bathed in this fluid receive their
nutrients and oxygen from it.
 Tubular vessels transport lymph back to the
blood, ultimately replacing the volume lost
during the formation of the interstitial fluid.
 Lymph movement occurs despite low
pressure due to peristalsis, valves, and
compression during contraction of adjacent
skeletal muscle and arterial pulsation
the cardiovascular system pumps blood through its system but
it cannot return all the fluid from the body cells.
The lymph system picks up 60%of the fluid dropped off at the
cellular level,
at this point we are talking about
interstial fluid, the IF picks up
plasma and becomes tissue fluid
The tissue fluid is then picked up by lymph capillaries,
the tissue fluid is called lymph
The origin on lymph :-
 Lymph is an alkaline (pH > 7.0)
 Lymph acts as a "middle man" which
transports oxygen, food materials, hormones,
etc., to the body cells
 And brings carbon dioxide and other
metabolic wastes, from the body cells to
blood and then finally pours the same into
the venous system.
 Body cells are kept moist by the lymph.
 It destroys the invading microorganisms and
foreign particles in the lymph nodes
 Return to the blood of any fluids that have
escaped from the circulation.
 Lymphatic vessels are intimately connected
with blood vessels so that they can perform
this function.
 Distribution of lymphatic vessels
◦ Lymphatic vessels travel alongside blood vessels
◦ Lymphatic vessels are absent from bones, teeth,
bone marrow, and the central nervous system
Lymph vessels:-
Lymphatic trunks from the union of collecting vessels.
The nine major trunks, draining lymph from regions
for which they are named, are the 1.lumbar,2. jugular,
3.subclavian, 4.bronchomediastinal trunks, each of
which occurs in pairs (left and right, for each side of
the body), and a (5)single intestinal trunk.
Lymphatic ducts are the largest lymphatic vessels.
These two ducts drain lymph into veins in the neck
(the right and left subclavian veins at their junctures
with the internal jugular veins). Valves in the
lymphatic ducts at their junctions with the veins
prevent the entrance of blood into the lymphatic
vessels.
◦ The left thoracic duct collects lymph from the left
side of the body and regions of the right side of
the body below the thorax. It ultimately drains
lymph into the left subclavian vein. It begins at
the cisterna chili, an enlarged region of the
lymphatic vessel that forms following the union
of the intestinal trunk and right and left lumbar
trunks.
◦ The right thoracic duct collects lymph from the
upper right side of the body (right arm and right
regions of thorax, neck, and head), a much
smaller area than that serviced by the thoracic
duct. It ultimately drains lymph into the right
subclavian vein.
Lymph nodes:-
 They are widely distributed throughout the
body along the lymphatic pathways.
 Lymph nodes are not present in the central
nervous system.
 Composed of lymphoid tissue.
 Small bean-shaped structures
 Usually less than 2.5 cm (1 inch) in length.
 Three superficial regions where lymph nodes
tend to cluster
1. Inguinal nodes in the groin
2. Axillary nodes in the armpit
3. Cervical nodes in the neck
 Filter the lymph before it is returned to the
blood.
 Preventing foreign particles from entering the
bloodstream
 They also produce lymphocytes
Swollen
Lymph
Glands
Tonsils:-
 Cluster of lymphatic tissue just under the
mucous membranes that line the nose,
mouth, and pharynx (throat) called tonsils.
 There are three groups of tonsils.
1. Pharyngeal tonsils
2. Palatine tonsils
3. Lingual tonsils
Function:-
 Provide protection against harmful
substances and pathogens that may enter the
body through the nose or mouth.
 Blood supply by:-Tonsillar branch of facial
artery
 Nerve supply by:-glossopharyngeal nerve
