Organs of the lymphatic system contain lymphatic tissue, Lymphocytes, a few other cell types, and connective tissue.
What system assists the cardiovascular system by collecting excess tissue fluid?

Why are buboes found in groin and armpit?

The major organs of the lymphatic system?

What are the two major lymphatic vessels of the body?
The major lymphatic duct is the Thoracic Duct which returns lymph from the the whole body except from the right side of the head and the right arm/shoulder. These parts are drained by the Subclavian Trunk. Both vessels drain into the junction of the subclavian and jugular veins on their respective sides. Hope this helps! Aj :) The right lymphatic duct drains lymph from the right upper extremity, head, and thorax. This duct is not present in all. For those with no right lymphatic duct, the lymph trunks drain directly into the veins of the neck
Which would be the route taken by lymph traveling from lymphatic vessels in the right leg to the bloodstream?
right lumbar trunk-rightintestinal trunk-right lymphatic duct- right subclavian vein
What are two ways in which lymph vessels are similar to veins?
The lymphatic system is comprised of thousands and thousands of white blood cells that fight off infection and foreign substances that may invade the bloodstream (or bodily fluids) that includes pollen and other allergens, also they fight against viruses and bacterias, etc. On the other hand, the cardiovascular system is the network of major arteries that bring oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart and then the blood goes to the other areas of the body.
How are lymphatic nodules different from lymphatic organs?
Lymphatic Nodules-Any of the small bodies located along the lymphatic vessels, particularly at the neck, armpit, and groin, that filter bacteria and foreign particles from lymph fluid. As lymph flows through a lymph node at least 99 % of the antigens in the lymph are removed. The lymphatic organs are organs that produces lymphocytes or is associated with lymphocyte function, for example, the lymph nodes, spleen, and thymus.
What are the 2 major functions of the lymph nodes?
To return to the circulatory system the fluid that leaked out from the capillaries and that wasn't returned to the veins.To filter out any bacteria/viruses by leaving them in the lymph nodes, where an immune response is mounted and they're killed.
How many major regions are there in North America?
