Blood System OverviewBlood System Overview

Blood circulates through blood vessels to: transport oxygen, nutrients and hormones to body cells

carry away waste

Plasma — liquid portion of the blood

Blood System OverviewBlood System Overview

Cellular components suspended in the plasma: erythrocytes — red blood cells

leukocytes — white blood cells

platelets — cell fragments essential for blood clotting

Serum: portion of the plasma that remains after the clotting process

Protects the body by filtering microorganisms and foreign particles

Maintains the body’s internal fluid environment

Responsible for carrying fats away from digestive organs

Lymph OrgansLymph Organs

thymus primary gland of the lymphatic system

produces T lymphocytes to help immune response

spleen located between stomach and diaphragm

filters out aging blood cells

removes cellular debris

Lymph StructuresLymph Structures

lymph fluid that is circulated through lymph vessels

lymph capillaries draw lymph from tissues to lymph vessels

lymph vessels circulate lymph to the lymph nodes

Lymph StructuresLymph Structures

lymph nodes oval structures that filter lymph

located in the cervical, axillary and inguinal regions

lymph ducts collecting channels that carry lymph from the lymph nodes to the veins

ImmunityImmunity

Process of disease protection induced by exposure to an antigen antigen — substance that, when introduced into the body causes formation of antibodies against it

antibody — substance produced by the body that destroys or inactivates an antigen

Types of ImmunityTypes of Immunity

Active immunity Protects the body against a future infection as a result of natural antibodies developed after an infection

artificial antibodies — after administration of a vaccine

Passive immunity conveyed naturally through the placenta to a fetus

conveyed artificially by injection of a serum containing antibodies
