According to Marieb, Mitchell, and Smith (2013):

The overall function of the lymphatic system is twofold:

  • It transports tissue fluid (lymph) to the blood vessels, and
  • It protects the body by removing foreign material such as bacteria from the lymphatic stream and by serving as a site for lymphocyte “policing” of body fluids and lymphocyte multiplication. (p. 525)

The learning objective for Week 4 in the laboratory course is to identify the features of the circulatory system including the blood and lymphatic vessels that transport fluids and substances including hormones, blood, and nutrients. We will look at the histology and anatomy of the vessels through the models and microscopic slides seen in your Laboratory Manual.

To successfully complete this assignment, first read the following exercises from the Laboratory Manual: Exercise 32: Anatomy of Blood Vessels and Exercise 35A: The Lymphatic System and Immune Response.

As in all assignments, cite your sources in your work and provide references for the citations in APA format. Support your work, using your course lectures and textbook readings. Helpful APA guides and resources are available in the South University Online Library. Below are guides that are located in the library and can be accessed and downloaded via the South University Online Citation Resources: APA Style page. The American Psychological Association website also provides detailed guidance on formatting, citations, and references at APA Style.
