1 Lymphatic system/integumentary system By: SCA 6 th grade students The lymphatic system has three main functions: It maintains the balance of fluid between the blood and tissues, known as fluid homeostasis. It forms part of the body's immune system and helps defend against bacteria and other intruders. It facilitates absorption of fats and fat-soluble nutrients in the digestive system. The system has special small vessels called lacteals. These enable it to absorb fats and fatsoluble nutrients from the gut.

3 INTERACTIONS The lymphatic system works with the circulatory system by transporting WBCs to fight off invaders. The skeletal system helps make WBCs in bone marrow. The integumentary system helps prevent invaders from getting in.

6 1. Lymphocytes protect the body by traveling through the circulatory system, defending against pathogens. 2. Vaccines are used to help the body develop antibodies against pathogens. 3. A part of the lymphatic system is tonsils. 4. Lymph cells are all over the body. 5. The lymphatic system makes white blood cells to defend against pathogens. 6. The lymphatic system plays a key role in the immune system, fluid balance, and absorption of fats and fat-soluble nutrients. 7. As lymph vessels drain fluid from body tissues, this enables foreign material to be delivered to the lymph nodes for assessment by immune system cells. 8. The lymph nodes swell in response to infection, due to a build-up of lymph fluid, bacteria, or other organisms and immune system cells. 9. Lymph nodes can also become infected, in a condition known as lymphadenitis. 10. If lymph nodes remain swollen, if they are hard and rubbery, and if there are other symptoms, you should see a doctor.

7 The integumentary system is located on the outer part of the body. The integumentary system is very important to the body with its major functions. One of the major functions is the integumentary system is the first line of defense as a barrier against infection. Another major function is how the system helps regulate body temperature as well as removing excretory waste such as water and urea, protecting against sun s UV rays and producing vitamin D.

8 The body system the integumentary system works with other systems as well. One of the systems the integumentary system works with is the excretory system. It works with it by removing cellular waste. Also it works with the nervous system. It works with it by controlling body temperature. And with the immune system by preventing pathogens from entering. If something happened to your integumentary system, most likely you would a lot of problems considering it is your first line of defense.

9 The disorders of the integumentary system are psoriasis and albinism. Psoriasis is an autoimmune disorder and a albinism arises from a complete lack of pigment on the skin. A disease of the integumentary system is scabies. Scabies are caused by the action of tiny mites that burrow into the skin, and its typical symptoms involve an intensely itchy rash in the finger webs, buttocks, wrists and elbows.

10 Proper nutrition, healthy amounts of good-quality drinking water, adequate rest, regular exercise, and stress reduction will help keep your integumentary system healthy. Hair loss and graying are both genetically controlled, but stress can add to both conditions. Exercise and relaxation techniques are proven ways to reduce stress. Proper daily cleansing of the skin is highly recommended. However, harsh detergents and scrubbing will not make the skin cleaner. In fact, they can injure the skin and cause excessive drying. Greater benefits can be gained by cleaning the skin with gentle soaps or lotions, then applying an appropriate moisturizer to all areas of the body.

11 1. Did you know that your skin ways 10 pounds! 2. The integumentary system also helps prevent infectious organisms from your body. 3. The integumentary system of the upper extremities include the skin and hair! 4. The integumentary system helps protect your internal parts! 5. The integumentary system is the system of the skin, hair, nails and exocrine glands
