lymphatic system:-
lymph flows in lymphatic vessels :_
transparent/colorless slightly yellowish noRBC contents.
lymph nodes areas where WBC are formed
more protein than blood .
it is a modified liquid connective tissue which exist in all organs except CNS and cornea
-lymph drains into subclavian vessels
function:-
-regulation of fluid volume in extravascular and redistribution of fluid
-absorption of fatty acid and fat soluble vitamin in the villi of small intestine and carried by lymph
-microbes and microbial toxin are destroyed by the lymphocyte which increase in number and therefore the lymph node gets enlarged during infection
provides nutrition and oxygen to the tissue where blood supply doesn't reach
-return of proteins from interstitial space back to blood
per day 200 g of protein back to blood
