Lymphatic system - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Antibodies are made by B cells
      - Filters Blood
      - Antibody-coated bacteria are filtered out
    - - Old blood cells are destroyed
        
        Recycled the parts
  - - - Atrophies after puberty
    - - Destroys T cells that react to self-antigens
- - - - Become arterioles
        
        Then finally into capillary
        
        Have walls that are 1 cell thick
        
        RBC cannot make through, small proteins like albumin and fluid can make it through capillary pores
        
        20 liters of fluid water and protein seeps out
        
        17 liters gets quickly reabsorbed back into the capillary
        
        3 liters left in the tissues each day
        
        Smallest vessels, located throughout the interstitial space
        
        Extremely permeable due to endothelial cells that only loosely overlap, forming one-way mini-valves
        
        Endothelial cells are anchored to structures in the interstitial space by collagen filaments
        
        To remain flexible but retain their overall shape
        
        Vessels
        
        Trunks
        
        Ducts
        
        a) Thoracic
        
        b) Right lymphatic
        
        a) Lumbar
        
        b) Bronchomediastinal
        
        c) Subclavian
        
        d) Jugular
        
        e) Intestinal
