Blood is the most commonly tested part of the body, and it is truly the river of life. Learn about red and white blood cells, lymphocytes, blood tests, blood types and blood donation.
Swollen lymph nodes are a common reaction to various illnesses, such as strep throat, mononucleosis (mono), mumps, or even a simple canker sore. This swelling often indicates that the body is generating additional white blood cells to counter the infection. ...
Explain how lymph is returned to the bloodstream. Explain how the lymphatic system and the cardiovascular system help the muscular system maintain homeostasis. How is carbon dioxide transported in the blood? How are the circulatory systems in animals and plants alike?
Macrophages are found in the liver, spleen, lungs, lymph nodes, skin and intestine. The system of macrophages scattered throughout the body is called the reticuloendothelial system. Monocytes stay in the blood for an average of 10 to 20 hours and then go into the tissues, where they become...

as we age, the normal tissue in the lymph nodes (the stroma) is gradually replaced by adipose tissue (fat). The phenomenon is known as lymph node lipomatosis. Although lipomatosis is very common and increases with age, researchers have previously devoted very little discussion and research to ...
(b) What is its function? Describe how birth control pills work. (a) Explain how lymph forms. (b) Describe the mechanisms by which it is transported. How are proteins made and what do they do? What happens at a neuromuscular junction? How does ATP release energy for work? What are ...
Instead, fluids ooze into the lymph system and get pushed by normal body and muscle motion to the lymph nodes. This is very much like the water and sewer systems in a community. Water is actively pressurized, while sewage is passive and flows by gravity. Lymph is a clearish liquid that ...
mansoni infections of mice indicated that following skin penetration the young parasites (schistosomula) penetrated blood capillaries (sometimes lymph vessels) and thereafter followed an entirely intravascular route of travel, being carried in the direction of blood flow (Wheater and Wilson, 1979). ...
Water is actively pressurized, while sewage is passive and flows by gravity. Lymph is a clearish liquid that bathes the cells with water and nutrients. Lymph is blood plasma -- the liquid that makes up blood minus the red and white cells. Think about it -- each cell does not have its...
