29 views5 pages

Document Summary

Lymphatic vessels: lymphatic capillaries are where the lymphatic system begins, closed ended tubes that are interspersed among the blood capillary network, except those within red bone marrow and cns, avascular tissues also lack lymph capillaries (epithelium) In comparison to blood capillaries: close ended, bigger diameter, no basement. Only reclaim 27 liters during capillary exchange, leaves 3 liters every 24 hours, would swell up and have issues: lymphatic system takes care of this with the 3 liters, if you have more, it"ll pool more. Lymphopoeisis: lymphocyte development and maturation due to hormones released by cells, helps them to differentiate and become t cells, when lymphocyte fully matures it becomes immunocompetent: fully able to participate in the immune response. Immature lymphocytes cannot participate in immune response: all lymphocyte types originate in red bone marrow but maturation sites differ. Lymphatic organs: completely surrounded by ct capsule, tonsils don"t have this capsule, thymus, spleen, lymph nodes.
