- - - - interstitial space
        
        lymph vessels
        
        Lymph nodes
        
        Lymph organs
        
        Left and Right Lymphatic Ducts
        
        Spleen
        
        Largest mass of lymphatic tissue,situated between fundus of stomach and diaphragm
        
        Formation of blood during embryonic phase,Blood distruction of old RBC and WBC.formation of bilirubin,reservoir of blood,iron metabolism and storage,defensive action against infections and bacteria,manufacture of haemolysin.
        
        Tonsils
        
        Multiple aggregation of large lymph nodules,situated oral cavity and pharynx

        Thymus Gland
        
        Main source of production of lymphocytes, thymic hormones ,controls immunological phenomena
        
        Situated posterior to sternum and in between lungs
        
        Spread through out the body ,embedded superficial and deep in the body,no reverse flow valves,oval and bean shaped
        
        Filtering and destroying the foreign substance,kills cancer cells when they come in contact,produces lymphocytes T and B cells .Fight ,kill, and filter all the toxins in the lymph before it exits.
        
        Follow the path of veins,one sided valves.no reverse flow,
        
        lumph
        
        Lymphocytes,Water 94%,Solids 6%)
        
        Factors responsible for formation
        
        capillary pressure
        
        Rise in temperature,reduced oxygen supply,presence of peptones,histaminesetc
        
        increased metabolic activity of organs
        
        increase in osmotic pressure in the tissue fluid
        
        substances that alter osmotic pressure
        
        osmotic pressure of blood ,presence of hypotonic and hypertonic solutions.
        
        pressure gradient
        
        lymph flows from high pressure zone to low pressure zone
        
        Respiratory movements
        
        create pressure gradient which helps in the flow of lymph through its vessels
        
        Massage and muscle contraction
        
        Milking action of skeletal muscles help in the movement of lymph
        
        Presence of one way valves
        
        lymphatic vessels,ducts and nodules
        
        nutrition,drainage,transmission of proteins,absorption of fats ,defensive
        
        reverse flow of tissue fluid into capillaries
