Document Summary
Start at or pass through lymph tissues and organs. Thymus gland cells, b cells and nk cells (thymosin hormone help t cells to fully mature) Secondary lymphoid structure lymphocytes and more b cells to battle infectious agents. Causing differentiation of lymphocytes resulting in t. Lymph nodes, spleen and lymphatic nodules/tonsils, consists of: lymphocyte production for the immune system, ensuring stable blood volume and comparable interstitial composition t hroughout the body, assists in hormone, nutrient and waste transport. *lymph vessel obstruction is one of the many causes of edema. *hydrostatic pressure is higher in the venous side than it is the arterial side. Lymphatic capillaries lymphatic vessels afferent vessels lymph node efferent vessels . Lymphatic trunks left (thoracic) and right lymphatic ducts. Lymphatic capillaries close-ended tubules larger diameter but thinner walls for diffusion available in all areas except in the bone arrow and the nervous system. Can clean lymph from the afferent vessels to the efferent vessels if infection is not.
