Lymphatic system

4. Capillaries fluid that leaks out at the venous end of an artery, and is absorbed back in; Some of the fluid remains in the tissue spaces
6. This is due to excessive lymphocyte production
7. Specialized blood cells designed to engulf and destroy damaged cells, cancer cells, infectious organisms, and foreign particles
10. Located in the nasal cavity; filters white blood cells; weakens as we age
12. Type of lymphoma that has a much lower success rate and often reoccurs
13. Clusters of lymphatic tissues, first line of defense by filtering out the potential pathogens
15. Lymph vessels drain into veins that join to form this

1. When the lymphatic system may not perform its function adequately because the quantity of fluid is excessive or the lymph vessels/nodes are damaged/removed
2. Creates T cells and weakens as we age
3. Controls amount of red blood cells the body stores; creates lymphocytes
5. Filter damaged cells, cancer cells and foreign particles out of the lymph by producing specialized blood cells
8. Thin-walled lymphatic vessels, lymph nodes, and two collecting ducts
9. Type of lymphoma that has a high chance of survival; one of most curable cancers
10. Puts a strain on the immune system, and leads to decreased circulation
11. The body's drainage system
14. Cancer of the lymph nodes; Occurs due to uncontrolled production and growth of abnormal lymphocytes; can form a tumor
