What happens when your immune system is not strong?
A weakened immune system causes a person to become vulnerable to opportunistic bacteria, viurses, and fungal infections. This can occur as a result of disease process (cancer, HIV, metabolic disorders, or tissue injury) genetic predispositions or family history, or dysfunction of the liver, spleen, kidneys or bone marrow. A weakenend immune system can also be as a result of autoimmune disorders or in response to chemical agents (environmental, medications, chemotherapy, toxic chemical exposures). Measures should be taken to protect oneself during periods of low immunity. Avoid large crowds and those who are ill, or wear a mask to prevent contracting contagious viruses and bacterial infections. Getting plenty of rest, fluids and good nutrition, decreasing stress, washing hands frequently, and using extra care in food preparation are ways to avoid becoming ill.

What are lymphatic capillaries like?
Lymphatic capillaries are closed at one end and they are tethered to surrounding tissues by protein filaments. Endothelial cells loosely overlap the lymphatic capillaries to allow bacterial and cells to enter the capillaries. The layout of the endothelial cells also create valve-like flaps which open when the interstitial fluid pressure is high and close when it is low.
