The components of the immune system. New York: Garland Science; The Immune System. Paul Andersen Paul Andersen explains how your body protects itself from invading viruses and bacteria.
He starts by describing the nonspecific immune responses of skin and inflammation. He then explains how we use antibodies to disrupt the function of antigens and mark them for destruction.
He then explains both the homoral and cell-mediated immune response highlighting the importance of B and T lymphocytes. He finally describes the process of long term immunity. The Lymphatic System. UCSF Dr. Found this page useful? Introduction What is Cancer?

Cancer: White blood cell cancers such as lymphoma Overview of Lymphoma Lymphomas are cancers of lymphocytes, which reside in the lymphatic system and in blood-forming organs.
Lymphomas are cancers of a specific type of white blood cells known as lymphocytes. Cancers in lymph nodes can interfere with the flow of lymphatic fluid through the node. Cancers in other areas can block lymphatic ducts. Lymphangiosarcoma is a very rare tumor that may develop in cells of the lymphatic system.

You have MALT in lots of places in your body, especially areas where germs might be able to enter easily.
MALT includes:. The immune cells in MALT protect you by trapping and destroying germs and toxins before they get further inside your body. All these different parts of your lymphatic system work together to help protect you from infection. If you would like further information or would like to talk about any aspect of your lymphoma, please contact us. What is the lymphatic system? Figure: The lymphatic system The lymphatic system includes: lymphatic vessels that carry a fluid called lymph organs where immune cells develop: bone marrow thymus organs and tissues where immune cells collect ready to fight infection: lymph nodes spleen mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue.
Any part of the lymphatic system can be affected by lymphoma. What does the lymphatic system do? The lymphatic system has three main functions: It drains fluid from your tissues and returns it to your bloodstream. It protects your body from disease by removing germs bacteria, viruses and parasites and toxins poisons , and helps to destroy cells that are old, damaged or abnormal. It helps absorb fats and vitamins from your digestive system and transports them to your bloodstream.
Back to top Lymph Lymph is the liquid that flows through your lymphatic system. Lymph can contain: water sugars, proteins and fats vitamins, minerals and salts waste products from cells germs or toxins that have got into your body damaged or abnormal cells, including cancer cells. Back to top Lymphatic vessels Lymph travels through tubes called lymphatic vessels. Figure: Structure of a lymph node Where are lymph nodes found?
What do lymph nodes do? Back to top Bone marrow Bone marrow is the spongy tissue in the middle of some of the bigger bones in your body, such as your thigh bone femur , breastbone sternum , hip bone pelvis and back bones vertebrae. Figure: The different blood cells that develop in the bone marrow Lymphocytes the cells that grow out of control if you have lymphoma are a type of white blood cell.
