Transcript of E NDOCRINE AND L YMPHATIC S YSTEM Grace Metry, Meg Phillips, Rachel Forcillo, and Anna Nevison.
LYMPHATIC SYSTEM•The lymphatic system aids the immune system in removing and destroying waste, debris, dead blood cells, pathogens, toxins, and cancer cells. •The lymphatic system absorbs fats and fat-soluble vitamins from the digestive system and delivers these nutrients to the cells of the body where they are used by the cells. •The lymphatic system also removes excess fluid, and waste products from the interstitial spaces between the cells.
THYMUS
The thymus creates T-lymphocytes (T cells), which are cells of the immune system.
AXILLARY LYMPH NODE
Hidden between the shoulder muscles and the chest wall; obvious in living things only when significantly large and hard.
LYMPHATIC VESSEL Thin walled, valve
structures that carry lymph. Lymph vessels act as pools for plasma and other substances, including cells, that have leaked from the vascular system and transport lymph fluid.
MAMMARY PLEXUS
The internal thoracic lymph nodes, with their vessels, situated along the course of the internal thoracic veins.
SPLEEN
Acts as a filter for blood Old red blood cells are
recycled, and platelets and white blood cells are stored here
Fights certain kinds of bacteria
INGUINAL LYMPH NODE
Lymph nodes that are located in the groin area
Carry lymphatic fluid from the groin area through the lymphatic system
This lymphatic fluid helps to fight diseases and infections
ENDOCRINE SYSTEM•The hormones that the endocrine system release influence almost every cell, organ, and function of our bodies. •The endocrine system is instrumental in regulating mood, growth and development, tissue function, and metabolism, as well as sexual function and reproductive processes.
HYPOTHALAMUS
A part of the brain that helps in maintaining homeostasis
Produces hormones that control temperature, moods, and more
THYROID
One of the largest endocrine glands
Controls how quickly the body uses energy, makes proteins, and how sensitive the body is to other hormones
THYMUS GLAND Endocrine System In the upper part of chest,
behind breastbone Chest cavity Production of lymphocytes
into t-cells Defend against infections and
disease
ADRENAL GLANDS Endocrine System On top of kidneys Produces steroid hormones
Sex hormones Abdominal cavity
TESTES Primary sexual organ
Males Production of sperm and
hormones Allows for fertilization of
female eggs Pelvic cavity
PANCREAS Gland Digestive and Endocrine
system Produces hormones
Insulin Secretes pancreatic juice
Digestive enzymes Breaks down carbs, proteins, fat
PARATHYROID
Controls calcium within the blood (which effects how strong and dense bones are)
They are often in the thyroid, but their function isn’t related to the thyroid
PINEAL BODY (GLAND)
Small endocrine gland in the vertebrate brain. It produces the serotonin, a hormone that affects the modulation of wake/sleep patterns and seasonal functions.
LOCATION
The Lymphatic and Endocrine systems do not have a specific body cavity location, they are located all over your body!
