Lab 12 The Lymphatic System BIO202L
Student Name: Almamy Kabba
Access Code (located on the lid of your lab kit): AC-LOIMF26
Pre-Lab Questions:
”1. In what areas are lymph nodes clustered? Why is this desirable?”
They are clustered near the knee, groin, neck, thoracic area, inguinal, and armpits. Its like this because
throughout the body the lymph nodes will be able to filter out
”2. Explain how the flow of lymph is controlled through lymphatic vessels. ”
Its transported through lymphatic vessels by the skeletal muscle pump-contractions of skeletal muscles
constrict the vessels to push the fluids forward.
Experiment 1: Examining the Microscopic Anatomy of Lymphatic System
Post-Lab Questions
”1. Label the items in the following slide pictures based on your observations. ”
A- Lymphoid follicle
B- Germinal center
C- Connective tissue capsule/trabeculae
D- Medullary cords
E- Red pulp
F- White pulp
