The lymphatic system carries a clear fluid called lymph throughout the body via networks of thin tubes. The lymph transports infection-fighting lymphocytes, removes infectious cells, and carries fats from the intestine to the blood. Key organs involved include the bone marrow, lymph nodes, spleen, and thymus. Lymph nodes and the spleen filter the lymph and blood, respectively. Lymphoma is a cancer of the lymphatic system that causes painless bumps in lymph nodes and general symptoms like fevers and weight loss. Treatment depends on the grade of lymphoma and may include waiting, radiation, or chemotherapy. Life expectancy with lymphoma varies significantly depending on the treatment received and response. Lymphatic obstructions can be caused by

1. The Lymphatic system Andres Patricio Centeno Luis Manuel Gonzalez Juan Pablo Aguillon

2. Lymphatic system Every mammal in Earth has lymphatic vessels The vessels are networks of thin tubes that branch into tissues throughout the body This vessels carry a fluid called lymph, which is colorless and originated from interstitial fluid

4. Main Functions of the Lymph Collect and return interstitial fluid, including plasma protein to the blood. Defend the body against disease by producing lymphocytes Absorbs lipids from the intestine and takes them to the blood

5. Which organs are involved? Some of the organs that are involved in the lymphatic system are: Bone Marrow  B-Cells Lymph Nodes  These might become enlarged when the body is infected Spleen Thymus  T-Cells

6. Filters There are two types of filters, the blood filter and the filters for the lymph. The Lymph nodes are those in charge of filtering the lymph. The spleen is the other filter, but this one is used to clean up the blood.

11. LymphomaTreatment For low grade lymphoma, the doctor might wait some time, until the disease shows signs that is spreading. Then he might apply some radiations to the zone, so that it can be eliminated. For a little more advanced grades, the doctor might apply chemoterapy and radiation.

12. LifeExpectancy of someonewithlymphoma There are several forecasts of how long a person can live with lymphatic cancer (Lymphoma). They differ from a few days, up to a normal life. Depending on the different treatments that the people receive, will last longer, or the cancer will be eradicated.

13. LymphaticObstruction There are many causes for this disease, including some infections, trauma, tumors, surgeries or radiation therapy. This is also a congenital disease. This happens because of the removal of a tissue near the axilla.
