Identify and describe the major gross and microscopic anatomical components of the lymphatic system and their functional roles in fluid dynamics and immunity.
The lymphatic system is a network of vessels and organs that help to drain excess fluids from tissues and return them to the bloodstream. It also plays an important role in the immune system.
After completing this module, there are several questions to discuss. Choose two of the following questions and answer them. Be sure to respond to at least two of your classmates while providing additional information to their answers.
Discussion Questions:
What are the specific functions of the major gross and microscopic anatomical components of the lymphatic system?
How do these anatomical components work together to drain excess fluids from tissues and return them to the bloodstream?
What are the implications of disruption to the lymphatic system?
What are some common disorders of the lymphatic system?
How can we keep our lymphatic system healthy?
OR You can discuss the Respiratory System.
CLO : Identify and describe the major gross and microscopic anatomical components of the respiratory system and their functional roles in breathing/ventilation and in the processes of external and internal respiration.
The respiratory system is a complex network of organs and tissues that work together to allow the body to take in oxygen and expel carbon dioxide.
