Lab 7: Lymphatic System
(Adapted from lab created by Dr. Shizuka Yamada-Hunter)
Part 1. Lymphatic Flow Overview
We will first watch a video: “Lymphatic Flow Overview,” by the Khan Academy, then answer/complete
the following questions/instructions:
1) TRACE THE FLOW OF LYMPH : In this exercise, you will trace the pathway of lymph flow from
starting location to the point at which the lymph is delivered into the cardiovascular system.
Add arrows to the following diagram to illustrate the flow of blood and lymph (hint the table in
Q3 might help too):

Lab 7: Lymphatic System (Adapted from lab created by Dr. Shizuka Yamada-Hunter) Part 1. Lymphatic Flow Overview We will first watch a video: “Lymphatic Flow Overview,” by the Khan Academy, then answer/complete the following questions/instructions:

  1. TRACE THE FLOW OF LYMPH : In this exercise, you will trace the pathway of lymph flow from starting location to the point at which the lymph is delivered into the cardiovascular system. Add arrows to the following diagram to illustrate the flow of blood and lymph ( hint the table in Q3 might help too) :
  1. Draw a diagram of a lymph capillary that illustrates how lymph is pulled into the capillary (in other words, draw along with the video as the narrator illustrates how this happens):
  2. The following table compares/contrasts the Circulatory system with the Lymphatic system. Complete the table by matching the words/sentences to the right place. Note: this table can be a good study tool so you can build off your knowledge of the circulatory system in order to understand lymphatic flow. Circulatory Lymphatic Blood Flows towards & away from the heart Blood is pumped by the heart towards all parts of the body Blood flows in arteries, capillaries, and veins (a closed, continuous circuit) Blood is filtered by the kidneys Blood is made of plasma containing red and white blood cells and platelets Kidneys filter out small molecules and ions from the blood. A) Flows only in one direction (towards the heart) B) Lymph flows in an open, circuit from tissues to lymphatic capillaries to vena cava C) Lymph D) Lymph nodes filter out some debris as well as allow for immune cells to kill off pathogens or cancer cells present in lymph. E) Lymph is not pumped. It passively flows from the tissues into the capillaries. F) Lymph is filtered in lymph nodes located throughout the body G) Filtered lymph is ready to return to the cardiovascular system and is clear to milky white.
  1. The largest lymphatic organ, the spleen, filters blood of foreign organisms and particles, eliminates aged erythrocytes, and is a blood reservoir for platelets. The spleen is the main organ that filters blood, like the lymph nodes being the main organs that filter the lymph. Describe the Red Pulp and the White Pulp? What different functions do they do?
