Lymphatic+System+-+6th+Period

=**LYMPHATIC SYSTEM**= The Lymphatic System is crutial to the human survival. It is known sometimes as the "other Circulatory system". The Lymphatic system is made up of a huge network of vessels containing a substance called lymph. Lymph is a thin, milky fluid that carries nutrients around the body (fats). The white blood cells are carried by the lymph to the thymus. Nodes are located in your thighs, armpits, and nec k. They remove cells that can harm the body, like some small cancer cells. At the thymus, white blood cells become infection fighting. Two major organs are involved with the lymphatic system, thymus and spleen. The thymus 's helps T-cells mature before they are allowed to enter the system. The thymus is located just under sternum and above the heart. the spleen also helps filter liquids. Except, the spleen filters old red blood cells.
