Blood circulates through blood vessels to: transport oxygen, nutrients and hormones to body cells
carry away waste
Plasma — liquid portion of the blood

Lymphatic System OverviewLymphatic System Overview
Protects the body by filtering microorganisms and foreign particles
Maintains the body’s internal fluid environment
Responsible for carrying fats away from digestive organs
Lymph OrgansLymph Organs
thymus primary gland of the lymphatic system
produces T lymphocytes to help immune response
spleen located between stomach and diaphragm
filters out aging blood cells
removes cellular debris
Lymph StructuresLymph Structures
lymph fluid that is circulated through lymph vessels
lymph capillaries draw lymph from tissues to lymph vessels
lymph vessels circulate lymph to the lymph nodes
Lymph StructuresLymph Structures
lymph nodes oval structures that filter lymph
located in the cervical, axillary and inguinal regions

ImmunityImmunity
Process of disease protection induced by exposure to an antigen antigen — substance that, when introduced into the body causes formation of antibodies against it
antibody — substance produced by the body that destroys or inactivates an antigen
Types of ImmunityTypes of Immunity
Active immunity Protects the body against a future infection as a result of natural antibodies developed after an infection
artificial antibodies — after administration of a vaccine
