Correct spelling platelet erythropoiesis thrombocytopenia Incorrect spelling thrombositopenea platlet erythropeisis Lymphatic Notes Functions of the lymphatic systemDrains excess fluids and proteins from tissues all around the body and returns them back into the bloodstream.Removes waste products produced by cells.Fights infections.Absorbs fats and fat-soluble vitamins from the digestive system and transports these into the bloodstream.Components of the lymphatic systemLymph- fluid that circulates in lymph vessels and contain lymphocytes (white blood cells that fight infection)Lymph nodes-small bean-shaped glands that produce lymphocytes, filter harmful substances from the tissues, and contain macrophages, which are cells that digest cellular debris, pathogens and other foreign substances. Major groups of lymph nodes are located in the tonsils (oropharynx tissue), adenoids (nasopharyngeal tissue), armpits (axillary nodes), neck, intestines (mesenteric nodes) groin and mediastinum (thymus).Thymus- a specialized organ of the immune system that produces lymphocytes, is important for T cell maturation.Spleen- an organ near the stomach, which filters blood of toxins (poison), disposes of worn-out red blood cells, and provides a 'reserve supply' of blood, it also activates lymphocytes.Modified from: Match the part of the lymphatic system to its definition. tonsils lymph tissue in the oropharynx adenoids lymph tissue in the nasopharyngeal spleen organ near the stomach that activates lymphocytes thymus gland in mediastinum that produces T-cells axillary nodes lymph nodes in the armpit lymph watery fluid in lymph nodes Lymphatic system and it's relation to the circulatory system Disorders of the Lymphatic system: HIV- human immunodeficiency virus: a virus that attacks the immune system- leads to AIDSLymphoma-malignant tumors of the lymph nodes and tissueMultiple myeloma- malignant tumor of the bone marrow (where white blood cells form)Lymphedema-swelling of tissue due to lymph fluid accumulationLymphocytopenia-deficiency of the lymphocytes, low level that causes issues with the functions of immune systemSplenomegaly- enlarged spleenLymphadenopathy-disease of lymph nodes that causes painLymphadenitis- inflammation of the lymph nodesHerpes simplex- viral infection causing blisters on the lips, nose and genitalsThymectomy- removal of the thymus glandKaposi sarcoma- malignant cancer associated with AIDS- causes growths in many areas including the lymph nodes Match the disorder to the definition. HIV causes aids Lymphocytopenia reduced lymphocytes affecting the immune system Splenomegaly enlarged spleen Lymphadenitits inflammation of the lymph glands Lymphedemia swelling due to accumulation of lymph fluid
