Lymphatic System

One to five leukocytes per high power field on the microscope is considered normal, However, one should look at the whole field and evaluate this as a whole picture. If also many bacteria are present as well and/or many red blood cells, then a pathologic picture may be present (ie a condition such as an infection or other kidney disease). If your urine is absent of other abnormal findings, and a small amount of Leukos are seen, I would not worry about it.

It carries white cells which fight infections and it also returns excess water back to the blood.

I don't think you can do anything to get rid of them. They go away by themselves after a couple days.

Both type of lymphocytes are made in the bone marrow and only the B - Lymphocytes mature in the bone marrow, whereas the T Lymphocytes travel to the thymus gland where they mature.

RBC

under the arm area is one of the places that we have lymph nodes, if yours are swollen this should be checked out by your doctor. This doesn't mean that it is necessarily representative of a serious health matter, but it definitely should be checked by a health care professional.

The phagocyte that digests cellular debris and pathogens in the human body are called macrophages, or macrophagocytes.

Leukocytes are among the formed elements of blood. They fight infection and identify and neutralize other "foreign" invaders. The formed elements of blood are red blood cells (erythrocytes), white blood cells (leukocytes), and platelets (thrombocytes).

This information is meant to be used for medical profession only. Patient may come to you cetrifugal lymphadenitis. It means a tender cord palpable at inner aspect of thigh or arm. This tenderness of cord go away to wards periphery in 3 to 5 days. There after you get little swelling of foot or hand. Such attacks come at varied interval of one to three months for about one year. Then patient comes with sudden onset fever with rigor and swollen lymph nodes in inguinal region or axilla. In filaria endemic zone the diagnosis is very clear. After diagnosis you give the shot of corticosterods. Betamethasone injection 4 to 8 mg is good starting dose. You may give injectable diclofenac or any oral antipyretic along with dextrose and normal saline or oral replacement of the same. Patient gets profuse perspiration and feels better in two to three hours. Even without atnipyretics fever drops on corticosteroids. So fever is a sort of allergic response by body to probably dead worm/worms. Next dose betamethasone 1 mg twice a day for two weeks, given orally for two weeks and 0.5 mg twice a day for third week is used by contributor. Alternatively comparable dose of prednosolone may be given. Secondly, you should start the bi ethyl carbazine tablets to patient. It should be started with 50 mg twice a day and then the dose should be raised to 100 mg three times/day, ideally. But with corticosteroids you can start with 100 mg three times / day without any problem. So give this course for three weeks. Some mutivitamin supplement has to be given daily or severe stoatitis will be there. Recently ivermectin 12 mg is found to be useful and to be given from third day onwards twice a day with a extra shot of betamethsone 2 mg. After three weeks of treatment there should be gap of three weeks before resuming the same treatment twice. If there is non-pitting edema corticosteroids to be avoided and to be used if it is present. Such courses to be repeated yearly for the patients of known filariasis or elephantiasis. There is copmpleate recovery of patient and edema disappears completely. You can press the swollen foot and leg or hand and for-arm and judge the response. The new and pitting edema disappears and old and non-pitting edema does not disappear.

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.

They all tie together- through circulation.

The circulatory system moves your blood around your body. Think of it as a highway.

The respiratory system takes in oxygen, and needs to output CO2. It uses the highway to deliver the oxygen all around the body, and the highway drops off its extra CO2 in the lungs.

The lymphatic system needs to protect your body from invaders. It needs the circulatory system to bring intruders to it, and to send its warriors out to fight infections.

Lymphocytes are a type of small white blood cell present in the human immune system. These small cells play a very large and important role in fighting diseases in the human body. There are basically two types of lymphocyte cells: B-cells and T-cells. B-cells are responsible for creating antibodies that attack bacteria, infectious microorganisms, and other foreign matter. T-cells have the job of fighting the bodies OWN cells that have been taken over by viruses or cancerous cells (malignancy). The absence of lymphocytes in the human immune system allow our bodies to become more susceptible to infections and disease and weakens immune response.

a lot of med students call it "fish head"

The body triggers an immune reaction in response to a transplanted organ, since the recipient's body does not recognise the organ as part of itself. i.e the DNA of the transplanted organ, and the DNA of the person do not match (unless they are identical twins); the recipient's immune system reacts against the new DNA and attempts to 'kill it off'; similar to how the human immune system reacts to cold and 'flu virus' (which are made of something called RNA, not DNA) . This response is called "organ rejection"- the patient's body rejects the transplanted organ. Organ rejection is usually preventable by taking a type of drug called an "immunosuppressant".

Despite the name, metaphyiscs isn't phyiscs. But perhaps what you're looking for is what's called the philosophy of science. You'll get a feeling for this if you study the early history of science. I recommend the recorded lectures of Dr. Lawrence Principe, produced by The Teaching Company. I have not yet started his series on the History of Science, but his set on Science and Religion was superb.

Both involve white blood cells

Both responses have means of killing invading cells like bacteria or parasites

It protects the body from viruses and bacteria.

Lysozymes

Yes. More specifically, digestive lipids are broken down in the small intestine into glycerol and fatty acids. Glycerol is absorbed via the bloodstream. Fatty acids are first emulsified by bile, then transported as chyle via the lymphoid system's 'lacteals' into the thoracic duct.
