System: Lymphatic (part 1)

The lymphatic system is central to the body's defense and immunity. A network of lymphatic vessels run throughout the body and collect the watery lymph fluid which drains from blood and from between cells (interstitial fluid).

Lymphatic vessels have larger pores than capillaries so that they can exchange large molecules such as proteins, fragments of damaged tissue and micro-organisms.

Lymph nodes, which contain certain leukocytes, are found throughout the lymphatic system and serve to filter lymph of waste materials and dangerous substances before the fluid is returned to the blood stream.

Lymphocytes, a type of leukocyte, are formed within the lymphatic system.

  1. guest blogger invitation

    Hello,

    This is Rose writing from www.huliq.com. I visited your blog and liked your content.

    Would you be interested to send us a guest post on any of the issues related to the topics that you cover in your blog. We will publish it in our site www.huliq.com

    In return with each guest blog we will give one link in the author's byline back to your blog. We only ask that the guest post ( we prefer it be a news coverage, sources can be Google News, CNN, MSNBC, Yahoo News, BBC and others) be a unique story and not be published in your blog.

    HULIQ is indexed by Google News and Google requires that the length of the unique news is at least 5 paragraphs. We desire it to be at least 6 paragraphs if possible. And that all need to be a unique content. Once you send us a new story totally unique we will immediately publish it with you link in it, and within 15 minutes it should be indexed by Google News.

    Also, please structure author byline as follows:

    author's name:
    author's e-mail:
    author's blog url:

    Please let me know if you may have any questions about www.huliq.com.

    If you want to consult the topic with me first that's perfectly fine as well.

    Many thanks
