Lymph System

Lymph system is a system of transport lymph fluid from tissues into the blood. The system also contains cells that make the body able to ward off disease.

When blood flow throughout the circulatory system, a liquid substance called lymph seeps through capillary walls. This liquid deliver oxygen and nutrients essential to the tissue cells. Lymph fluid dispose of substances and return the rest seeps into the bloodstream through capillary walls.

Every day about 24 liters of lymph fluid seeps through capillary walls into the tissue. Most of the back behind kealiran seeping blood. However, approximately 4liter of them still remained in the network. Lymphatic system transports waste materials are called nodes and build it through the blood vessels of the chest.

Nodes form a clear liquid that carries dissolved substances, cellular debris, and pathogens such as bacteria and viruses. Lymph flow only toward unity is out of the network. Unlike blood, pumped by the heart, lymph through the lymph system with the help of muscle-skeletal muscles, which pushes the fluid when they contract. Valves in lymph vessels to prevent fluid to flow backwards.

As lymph fluid flows through lymph vessels, he crossed the lymph node. This is where white blood cells called macrophages and swallowing cum cellular debris and pathogens. Other white blood cells called lymphocytes produce antibodies, ie chemicals that target the pathogens for destruction. Organs of the other nodes have the same role. Lymphocytes and macrophages work together to form the immune system, the body’s most powerful defenses to ward off disease.
