Why is another name for the immune system the lymphatic system?
The lymphatic system is a network of tubes throughout the body that drains fluid (called lymph) from tissues and empties it back into the bloodstream. The main roles of the lymphatic system include managing the fluid levels in the body, filtering out bacteria, and housing types of white blood cells. Lymph is filtered through the spleen, thymus and lymph nodes before being emptied into the blood. Keeping a balance of fluidBlood vessels tend to seep fluid into surrounding tissue. The lymphatic system drains off any extra fluid to stop the tissues from puffing up. The feet in particular are prone to puffiness. Lymphatic vesselsLymphatic vessels criss-cross the entire body, except for the central nervous system. Some lymphatic vessels have valves (similar to the valves in veins), which stop the lymph from running back the wrong way. SpleenThe spleen is inside the abdomen, just under the diaphragm. This is one of the filtering organs of the blood. As well as removing microbes, the spleen also destroys old or damaged red blood cells. ThymusThe thymus is inside the ribcage, just behind the breastbone. This is another filtering organ of the blood, that contains many white blood cells called lymphocytes. Lymph nodesLymph nodes are found at various points around the body, including the throat, armpits, chest, abdomen and groin. All lie close to arteries. Bacteria picked up from the tissues by the lymph are trapped in the lymph node. White blood cells called lymphocytes can then attack and kill the bacteria. This is why your lymph nodes tend to swell if you have an infection. Viruses and cancer cells are also trapped by lymph nodes. The circulatory system is made up of the vessels and the muscles that help and control the flow of the blood around the body. This process is called circulation. The main parts of the system are the heart, arteries, capillaries and veins. Arteries are tough, elastic tubes that carry blood away from the heart. As the arteries move away from the heart, they divide into smaller vessels. The largest arteries are about as thick as a thumb. The smallest arteries are thinner than hair. These thinner arteries are called arterioles. Arteries carry bright red blood! The color comes from the oxygen that it carries. Veins carry the blood to the heart. The smallest veins, also called venules, are very thin. They join larger veins that open into the heart. The veins carry dark red blood that doesn't have much oxygen. Veins have thin walls. They don't need to be as strong as the arteries because as blood is returned to the heart, it is under less pressure. difference: lymph is blood without red blood corpuscles Similarities: Both are fluid conduit system. One works by contractile pressure the other by convection. both are fluid systems help in cleaning our body
What is the word you use to describe a group of specialized organs?
An organ system is the name of a group of organs that work together in order to perform biological functions. There are ten major organ systems: the circulatory system, the cardiovascular system, the lymphatic system, the digestive system, the endocrine system, the integumentary system, the muscular system, the respiratory system, the skeletal system, and the urinary/excretory system.
What tissue is in tissue fluid?
The name for fluid build up in the kidneys is called edema. The lymphatic system is not returning excess fluid back to the blood as it should.
What is the name of the fluid contained within vessels of the lymphatic system?
a lot of med students call it "fish head"
What condition result from an excess amount of tissue fluid?
The term used for excess fluid in tissues is edema. The more complete name is lymphedema and is usually the result of the lymphatic system not being able to move lymphatic fluid from tissues back into the blood stream, which results in the 'bloating' associated with it.
Name one immune system?

What is the name for the tumor in the lymphatic system?
lymphoma
Name 2 systems that work together. how do they work together?
The cardiovascular system and lymphatic system. Whenever the heart beats, a little fluid called lymph squeezes out of capillaries. This fluid is collected by lymph capillaries to be filtered in the lymph nodes.
How does the lymph get into the lymph vessels?
Lymph is a fluid. It flows through the lymphatic vessels by one way valves which allows lymph move way through lymphatic system. Subclavian suction, and skeletal muscle pumps help to propel the lymph through the lymphatic vessels.
When a body system rely on one another to work properly what is the name of this system?
lymphatic
What is it called collection of fluid in tissues?

What body systems protects the body against foreign substances?

What lymphatic duct absorbs fat from the digestive system?
The cisterna chyli collects lymph from the two lumbar trunks which drain the lower limbs and it collects lymph from the intestinal trunk which drains the digestive organs. So, yes it receives lymph drainage from the digestive organs. It is mainly responsible for"white-fat" drainage, as the name implies. Most people are unaware that the lymphatic system is what moves the fats around in your body.
