BIOS255 Week 4 Lymphatic System
Learning Objectives:
1. State the components and functions of the lymphatic system
2. Trace lymphatic drainage through the major vessels of the lymphatic system.
3. Identify the mechanisms that cause movement of lymph through the lymph vessels.
Introduction:
The lymphatic system consists of lymphatic fluid, lymphatic vessels, lymphatic tissue, and
lymphatic organs located throughout the tissues of the body. It functions to drain excess
interstitial fluid from the tissues, to initiate an immune response against disease by producing
and transporting lymphocytes, and to transport dietary lipids absorbed by the gastrointestinal
tract into the blood. Let’s explore this system that can be found in so many different places and
perform multiple roles!
Assignment
Part 1 Complete the activities on Anatomy.TV for the Lymphatic System: Introduction, Vessels
and Circulation, Organs and Tissues.
To access Anatomy.TV: Resources tab>Library>Library Resources-Database A-

You will then work through the material and activities by scrolling down on the right. This will
allow you to see and work through all activities for that section.
Part 2: Complete the lab report.
Lymphatic System Lab Report
"$ Purpose:
Please state the purpose of the lab.
This lab aims to understand the lymphatic system by recognizing the types of organs in
the human body. I also learned where the spleen, thymus, tonsils, appendix, lymphThis study source was downloaded by 100000801755870 from CourseHero.com on 04-15-2022 14:23:41 GMT -05:00

nodes, lymphatic vessels, and lymphatic tissues are. Overall, I now understand how
most of the organs work throughout the human body.
2. Procedure:
Briefly discuss the procedure for this lab.
Recognizing the major lymphatic organs on pictures.
Identifying the components of lymphatic tissue.
Distinguishing the structures within a lymph node.
Recognizing the major lymphatic vessels.
Solving short answer questions about the lymphatic system.
1. Data and Details:
a. List the 4 components of the lymphatic system described in the
introduction.
The lymphatic system consists of lymphatic fluid, lymphatic vessels, lymphatic tissue,
and lymphatic organs located throughout the tissues of the body.
b. List 2 primary organs of the lymphatic system
Bone marrow.
