Structure and Immune Function of the Lymphatic System

With some basics out of the way, we are ready to get a sense of the overall structure of the immune system. That will mean looking at the lymphatic system. We already looked at this system in the context of its involvement in the circulatory system, in our study of human anatomy and physiology. But we did not examine its immune function, and this will be critical to our understanding of immunology, so let’s get a closer look now. Get ready to learn about lymph nodes, the spleen, the thymus, mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue, and more!
