Structures of Body Defenses
• Lymphocyte Circulation – Fluid from blood enters interstitial fluid through capillaries– (Excess interstitial) fluid returned to venous blood through
lymphatic vessels• Lymph = interstitial fluid that has entered a lymphatic vessel• Often contains ___________, lymphocytes and ____________.

Structures of Body Defenses• Lymphatic Vessels – Are vessels that carry lymph – Lymphoid system begins with smallest vessels• Lymphatic capillaries (terminal lymphatics)

Structures of Body Defenses• Lymphatic Capillaries – Differ from blood capillaries in 4 ways
1. Start as pockets rather than tubes2. Have larger diameters3. Have thinner walls4. Flat or irregular in section

Structures of Body Defenses• Lymphatic Capillaries – Endothelial cells loosely bound together with
overlap– Overlap acts as one-way ________• Allows fluids, solutes, lymphocytes, viruses, and
bacteria to enter• Prevents return to intercellular space

Structures of Body Defenses• Lymph Flow– From lymphatic capillaries to larger lymphatic vessels
containing valves– Lymphatic vessels travel beside ___________
• Lacteals– Are special lymphatic capillaries in small intestine– Transport __________ from digestive tract

Structures of Body Defenses• Lymphedema – Blockage of lymph drainage from a body limb– Causes severe swelling
– Interferes with immune system function • Lymphocytes– Make up 20–30% of circulating leukocytes– Most are stored, not circulating
• Refer to Collection of Anatomy Images for additional lymphatic structures (pp. 48-49, 71).
