  1. Lymphatic System & ImmunityChapter 14 Objectives: Identify physiological effects and components of the immune system. Contrast active and passive immunity. Evaluate the importance of vaccines. Recognize disorders and diseases of the immune system.

  2. Preview • What do you know about the lymphatic system? • What IS the lymphatic system? • What is its role? • What are some of its structures? • What do you know about immunity? • How is immunity gained? • What are some things that decrease immunity? • What are some organs or other components of the immune system?

  3. Medical Terminology Sheets • Add roots, prefixes, and suffixes on p.366. • Vocabulary quiz on Monday!!

  4. Lymphatic System Overview • Figures 14.1 and 14.2 • What do you notice?

  5. Lymphatic System Overview • Cardiovascular system transports ??? • Lymphatic system transports fluids. (1st function of lymphatic system) • Why do you think the vessels of these two systems are so closely • Lymphatic vessels carry excess fluid from interstitial spaces in tissues and return it to the bloodstream. • What would happen if this process did not work correctly?

  6. Lymphatic System Overview • 2nd function: both generalized and targeted attacks against “foreign” particles, helping destroy infectious organisms and viruses.

  7. Lymphatic Pathways • Start as lymphatic capillaries originating in ??? • Walls of capillaries are made up of ___________ epithelial tissue. • Fluid in lympahtic vessels is called lymph. • Capillaries merge to form larger lymphatic vessels. • Vessels lead to lymph nodes (organs).

  8. Lymphatic Pathways, cont. • After leaving nodes, vessels merge to form larger lymphatic trunks. • Lymphatic trunks join 1 of 2 collecting ducts: • Thoracic duct • Right lymphatic duct • What can you deduce from these names? • Sketch a rough diagram of the lymphatic system using what you know so far.
