Guided Notes

3 key concepts

  • 1

    The lymphatic system supports the cardiovascular system by collecting, filtering, and returning interstitial fluid back into the bloodstream via lymphatic vessels.

  • 2

    Lymph nodes and other lymphoid organs house antigen-attacking lymphocytes that provide crucial support to the immune system.

    Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissues (MALTs), such as the tonsils and Peyer’s patches, are strategically placed at entry points to sensitive tissues to inspect and remove pathogens.
