TRANSCRIPT
The lymphatic system has three main functions:
It maintains the balance of fluid between the
blood and tissues, known as fluid homeostasis.
It forms part of the body's immune system and
helps defend against bacteria and other
intruders.
It facilitates absorption of fats and fat-soluble
nutrients in the digestive system.
The system has special small vessels called
lacteals. These enable it to absorb fats and fat-
soluble nutrients from the gut.

INTERACTIONS
The lymphatic system works with
the circulatory system by
transporting WBCs to fight off
invaders.
The skeletal system helps make
WBCs in bone marrow.
The integumentary system helps
prevent invaders from getting in.

1. Lymphocytes protect the body by traveling through the circulatory system, defending against pathogens.
2. Vaccines are used to help the body develop antibodies against pathogens.
3. A part of the lymphatic system is tonsils.
4. Lymph cells are all over the body.
5. The lymphatic system makes white blood cells to defend against pathogens.
6. The lymphatic system plays a key role in the immune system, fluid balance, and absorption of fats and fat-soluble nutrients.
7. As lymph vessels drain fluid from body tissues, this enables foreign material to be delivered to the lymph nodes for assessment by immune system cells.
8. The lymph nodes swell in response to infection, due to a build-up of lymph fluid, bacteria, or other organisms and immune system cells.
9. Lymph nodes can also become infected, in a condition known as lymphadenitis.
10. If lymph nodes remain swollen, if they are hard and rubbery, and if there are other symptoms, you should see a doctor.
The integumentary system is located on the outer part of the body. The
integumentary system is very important to the body with its major functions.
One of the major functions is the integumentary system is the first line of
defense as a barrier against infection. Another major function is how the
system helps regulate body temperature as well as removing excretory
waste such as water and urea, protecting against sun’s UV rays and
producing vitamin D.

The body system the
integumentary system works
with other systems as well.
One of the systems the
integumentary system works
with is the excretory system. It
works with it by removing
cellular waste. Also it works
with the nervous system. It
works with it by controlling
body temperature. And with
the immune system by
preventing pathogens from
entering. If something
happened to your
integumentary system, most
likely you would a lot of
problems considering it is
your first line of defense.
The disorders of the
integumentary system
are psoriasis and
albinism. Psoriasis is an
autoimmune disorder
and a albinism arises
from a complete lack of
pigment on the skin.
A disease of the
integumentary system is
scabies. Scabies are
caused by the action of
tiny mites that burrow
into the skin, and its
typical symptoms involve
an intensely itchy rash in
the finger webs, buttocks,
wrists and elbows.
Proper nutrition, healthy amounts of good-quality drinking water, adequate rest, regular exercise, and stress reduction will help keep your integumentary system healthy. Hair loss and graying are both geneticallycontrolled, but stress can add to both conditions. Exercise and relaxation techniques are proven ways to reduce stress.
Proper daily cleansing of the skin is highly recommended. However, harsh detergents and scrubbing will not make the skin cleaner. In fact, they can injure the skin and cause excessive drying. Greater benefits can be gained by cleaning the skin with gentle soaps or lotions, then applying an appropriate moisturizer to all areas of the body.
1. Did you know that your skin ways 10 pounds!
2. The integumentary system also helps prevent
infectious organisms from your body.
3. The integumentary system of the upper extremities
include the skin and hair!
4. The integumentary system helps protect your
internal parts!
5. The integumentary system is the system of the skin,
hair, nails and exocrine glands
