Roles of the Lymphatic System
1) One-way drainage system
2) Lipid Absorption from Small Intestine
3) Produce & circulates Immune cells.

The Thymus

The Thymus
• Behind the sternum (in anterior mediastinum)
• Where T cells Differentiate
• Involution (gets smaller) post puberty

The Spleen

The Spleen
• Largest mass of lymphoid tissue in body
• Same functions for whole blood as lymph nodes for lymph
