Lymphatic System

Explore the lymphatic system with the Amoeba Sisters! This introduction talks about lymph, the general way lymph travels in the lymphatic system, primary and secondary lymphoid organs and tissues, general functions of the lymphatic system, and an example of what can happen with it is not functioning as expected.

FURTHER READING SUGGESTION:
In our video, we note we have a general illustration of the lymphatic system and mention that vessels and nodes can actually vary among people. For our tonsils, we only highlight general areas of location. But what if you want to see detailed diagrams of the lymphatic system, tonsils, or more that aren't just general highlights? We would suggest: Atlas of Human Anatomy, Sixth Edition by Dr. Frank Netter

Wake up babe, the Amoeba sisters posted.

[@m4rioruiz]

I would have loved to have this video my freshman year of college ! Glad the amoeba sisters can help the future understand this system in a fun way!

[@AmoebaSisters]

We definitely took a while to make this one! Thanks for sticking around. 🥹

[@ald.o_g]

Omg thank you so much! This video is a lifesaver! I have a biology exam tomorrow and this is the only system I don't completely understand.

[@AmoebaSisters]

Good luck on your exam!!!

[@SpamTheMan07]

I missed two weeks of school bc of an internship and I have an A&P test tomorrow. I turned to you, remembering you from 7th grade. Thank you for posting this in the nick of time. 😭🙏🏽

[@DanteGabriel-lx9bq]

For everyone studying immunology, I wanted to raccomand a textbook called "Immune." It's super easy to understand, yet it goes into the stuff deeper, and it's till this day the the best book I've ever read.

[@TekishaHenry]

I’ve got that book in my Amazon basket, I definitely need to buy it

[@DanteGabriel-lx9bq]

@@TekishaHenry Do that, it's worth it.

[@BennyGeorgie-yj2gv]

Yes! I got this book many years ago and it really made me want to learn more about the immune system

[@DanteGabriel-lx9bq]

@BennyGeorgie-yj2gv I can still remember everything on that book. The animations are unique, and the information really sticks without having to read it too often to recall.

[@Wy_guy]

Yeah i got it like a two years ago when it first came out. Are you talking about the kurzgesast in a nutshell? Because I got that book when it first came out. I loved immunology before and I really liked how they did that with the book.

[@randomcat7246]

You all are such real ones for teaching essentially all our bio material

[@zeeola1]

This channel helped me pass my Biology class in my first year of college. I'm glad they're still going for future college students to understand alll of these processes. Thank you Amoeba Sisters

[@AmoebaSisters]

This means so much to us - thank you! 🥹

This helped me review one last time before my Biology final. Thank you!

[@Orxngejvice]

Yay! Just started learning about how the body protects itself from pathogens in VCE bio, this vid came out in the perfect time!

[@adachukwuokafor1536]

Thankyou for making learning so much easier and exciting ❤️❤️

Very cool and educational. 😉

This makes so much more sense. I swear uni keeps jumping what the system does, into the why and how. So it makes no sense and I have to back track

[@tiascott1006]

I absolutely love your channel! 🥰🙌🏻 Do you think that there is a way you could copy your audio from your videos and put it on podcast? I’d love to listen to it whilst I sleep to take in extra info? 🥰 I know it’s a big ask but it’s worth a try 😂🙈 thank you so much for all your hard work 🙌🏻❤️❤️

you guys are so awsomeeeeeeeee

[@patrickyang65]

my science class played this and I did a project on it !

[@GeoffryGifari]

Are pathogens being actively directed to the lymph nodes? or they just happen to accumulate there while travelling in the body?

[@dontdisturb5815]

The only channel, I am regular to

[@ShanaShairaTV]

keep it up!

[@kaitlyn__L]

I always knew I had some kind of immune condition, and had tonsils and adenoids removed, but didn’t think to link those two facts together. I should look more into the lymph system! I should also check if you’ve done videos about mast cells..

I am from malaysia and we have arigid education system which rely on memorisation only instead of understanding can u make our syllabus as video😢😢u r so good nice animations

[@imaginaryuniverse632]

It's amazing how all of these systems happened to come together from a singularity through a series of random occurences without any intelligence in their coming about and these happenstances have led to the development of conscious minds who can be aware of all these amazing things. Just think, if it wasn't for a few photons hitting a few proteins just so and one or two lucky coincidences the Universe would have came and went without notice. 🙂

[@alizayumar8984]

3:58 Love how the B-lymphocytes are just throwing antibodies at the pathogens and the T-lymphocytes are throwing arrows and killing them directly. 😂 I love the details in this video!
