The Lymphatic System The lymphatic system is a network of very small tubes (or vessels) that drain lymph fluid from all over the body. The major parts of the lymph tissue are located in the bone marrow, spleen, thymus gland, lymph nodes, and the tonsils. The heart, lungs, intestines, liver, and skin also contain lymphatic tissue.

Histology There are four basic types of tissues: muscle tissue, nervous tissue, connective tissue, and epithelial tissue. All tissue types are subtypes of these four basic tissue types (for example, blood is classified as connective tissue, since the blood cells are suspended in an extracellular matrix, the plasma).

Lymph Nodes - Function, Anatomy, and Cancer Lymph Node Function. Lymph nodes serve two major functions in the body. They filter lymph and assist the immune system in building an immune response. Lymph is a clear fluid that comes from blood plasma that exits blood vessels at capillary beds.This fluid becomes the interstitial fluid that surrounds cells.ymphoma is the term used for cancer that begins in the lymphatic system. This type of cancer originates in the lymphocytes that inhabit lymph nodes and lymph tissues. Lymphomas are grouped into two main types: Hodgkin's lymphoma and Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) .

The Lymphatic System The lymphatic system is a network of very small tubes (or vessels) that drain lymph fluid from all over the body. The major parts of the lymph tissue are located in the bone marrow, spleen, thymus gland, lymph nodes, and the tonsils. Absorption of fatty acids and subsequent transport of fat, chyle, to the circulatory system. 2  Production of immune cells (such as lymphocytes, monocytes, and antibody producing cells called plasma cells).

Classification of Connective Tissues Reticular. Loose reticular tissue is similar to areolar tissue but the only fibers in its matrix are reticular fibers. Bone marrow, spleen and lymph nodes consist largely of reticular connective tissue. Function-Form a soft internal skeleton that supports other cell types like white blood cells, mast cells, macrophages.oose areolar connective tissue is the most widespread type of connective tissue proper. It underlies almost all of the epithelia in the body. Functions-support and binding of other tissues, holding body fluids, defending the body against infection, storing nutrients as fat. Fibers-collagen, reticular and elastic.

Lymphatic Obstruction (Lymphedema) Types and Causes. Lymphedema can affect any lymph node in the lymphatic system. The types of lymphedema are related to the specific causes, which can include cancer, cancer treatments, infections, or injury. Blood clots and deep vein thrombosis can also cause the lymph nodes to become enlarged.

Basic Tissue Types 1 The parenchyma of the kidney is epithelial tissue (renal tubules and corpuscles). 2  The blood vessels, nerves, and supporting connective tissue of the kidney comprise the stroma. 3  The parenchyma of the spleen is connective tissue (mostly lymphocytes and other blood cells).ll organs are built of these four tissues, which have consistent characteristics and arrangements from organ to organ. Thus an appreciation of the major features of these four basic tissue types can greatly simplify your understanding of the cellular composition of the many organ systems.

Connective tissue Connective tissue (CT) is one of the four types of biological tissue that support, connect, or separate different types of tissues and organs in the body.The other three types are epithelial, muscle, and nervous tissue.ll connective tissue apart from blood and lymph consists of three main components: fibers (elastic and collagenous fibers), ground substance and cells. (Not all authorities include blood or lymph as connective tissue.) Blood and lymph lack the fiber component.

Lymphatic System Structures of the lymphatic system. The vessels and organs of the lymphatic system are extensive and found throughout the body. Lymph. Lymph is fluid which has been absorbed into the lymphatic system from the interstitial spaces. It is a clear watery substance which contains constituents similar to those in blood.ymphatic vessels connect to the subclavian veins, which are part of the blood circulatory system and connect to the heart. Their key function is to transport excessive tissue fluid from interstitial spaces throughout the body back to the blood stream.

Lymphatic System Components The major components of the lymphatic system include lymph, lymphatic vessels, and lymphatic organs that contain lymphoid tissues. Lymphatic tissue can also be found in other areas of the body, such as the skin, stomach, and small intestines. Its primary function is to promote the development of specific cells of the immune system called T-lymphocytes. 2  Once mature, these cells leave the thymus and are transported via blood vessels to the lymph nodes and spleen.

"R-Pod Winterization with ""Pink Stuff""" Similar process across all RPOD models. Major difference will be what type of inlet hose you may have. Some Pods have a separate intake hose that must be connected. There is a quick connect spot at the water pump where your inlet line is from the Fresh Water tank, disconnect there and connect the inlet hose.

Structure and Functions of Lymphatic Tissue  (incl. lymph) The lymphatic system consists of lymphatic fluid (called  lymph ) flowing through a system of lymphatic vessels, including lymphatic capillaries, other lymphatic vessels of various sizes (which can be compared with blood vessels), and lymph nodes (which are encapsulated masses of B Cells and T Cells).ach node is covered by a capsule of dense connective tissue. The Spleen-This is the largest single mass of lymphatic tissue in the human body. The outer covering of the spleen is formed by dense connective tissue. The spleen itself consists of two types of tissue, called white pulp and red pulp.

Lymphoid tissue Lymphoid tissue: Lymphoid tissue, cells and organs that make up the lymphatic system, such as white blood cells (leukocytes), bone marrow, and the thymus, spleen, and lymph nodes. Lymphoid tissue has several different structural organizations related to its particular function in the immune response. The most highly organized lymphoid tissues are in the thymus and lymph nodes, which are well-defined encapsulated organs with easily identifiable architectures.

- Lymph is a fluid connective tissue that consists of a clear fluid and various cells, some of which include lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell. Functions of Connective Tissue Although the term 'connective tissue' is fairly self-explanatory, these tissues do more than simply connect body parts together. Because the types of connective tissue vary greatly, so do their functions. Adipose, or fat tissue, is a loose connective tissue that is specialized for storage.
