The lymphatic system's role in immunity | Lymphatic system physiology | NCLEX-RN | Khan Academy

[@Mrcelticspatriots]

This is one of the best presentations of the lymphatic system I've ever come across - Thank you Khan Academy :)

[@enochbrown8178]

I'm a retired physician. I wish I had you as one of my professors when I was in medical school. You would have cleared up a lot of questions I had at the time!!!

[@alucardlord9032]

Does the lymphatic network acts like a fast route for immune cells to reach infected sites?

[@gcliff82]

Hello Dr. Brown, The interesting thing is that this course title is "Lymphatic system physiology: NCLEX- RN". As a RN and CMT I was doing some research on lymphedema and liposuction fibrosis on my patients who have lipodema and who have gone plastic surgery and why there's significant problems in managing edema. I came across an article from Dr. Stanley Rockson, professor of cardiology Stanford Medicine at Stanford University, that he wrote in 2017. "It is disheartening to learn that the average American medical school graduate receives an exposure to the lymphatic curriculum for less than 30 minutes within a four-year medical education.” You're not alone. Lastly, thank you for the years of service you provided as a physician! Thank you! Kindly, Glenn

You're the man! I've been really confused with this system until I found this video, awesome explanation and keep it up!

[@Talker13563]

Learning from those amazing videos brings you hating your school professors, because you feel like in your school they are teaching thinks in a more complicated way, when they are actually easier. Thank you for this video!!

[@somenoobz]

Probably the best explanation out there

[@anasmuhammad9359]

I think you are among those who are performing one of the best jobs in the world

[@corniqueluv4eva]

This was extremely clear and precise. THANK YOU

[@maanniemassaquoi4868]

I love this. I so much understand the lymphatic system thank God

[@khalidamin8390]

Nicely described and presented! Honestly, I was trying to understand the Lymphatic System and looked in other vides, but this is the best one. Thanks to Patrick and the Khan Academy.

[@patrickrutherford5553]

I want to learn more about how rebounding helps increase immunity by moving the lymphatic fluid

[@charisturner1081]

I have been seeing Mrs Dr Kerri, Mrs Dr Whisper's for a lymph node and gland exam using her steposcope, latex gloves.

[@ambercooley4701]

Wow just a perfect explanation ! What would I have done without you? Thank you so much :)

[@ajaynegi5158]

You're genius, not everyone can explain things in such easily words.

[@hallymohamed1053]

where would I be without khan academy videos....

[@Saoirse3797]

This is a terrific video and makes complete sense after reading the chapter on the lymphatic system in my Anatomy book! One thing I wanted to point out however is you could be a little more inclusive in your video. You automatically called the Dr. a "he" when "he" examines you. "He or she" would be a better example of inclusiveness. Thank you.

[@sarahbodo9592]

thank you for this it really helped!!

[@MyMetallica12]

[@stansoldan9140]

Amazing ! Thank You !

[@stephenprice3357]

Great refresher, I have been out A&P2 for a semester.

[@davidbahena6499]

Awesome video!! Thanks a lot!

[@raoulberret3024]

But what is rarely explained is what happened to the filtrate? The pathogens 🦠 which were dealt with in the lymph nodes? How are these removed from the body? It’s one think to kill these unwanted guests, but it’s quite another thing to remove (dispose of) their bodies. I want to know how are these are disposed of. I suspect the GI track or the UT…

[@christinevakas92]

Thank you this was great

[@mafercruz4468]

Amazing!!

[@aashrithapataparla6618]

[@captfalconXX]

Thanks.

[@Roy4USA]

Thank you for your explanation.

[@sanjayhadigal27]

In case of surgery for cancer, they usually resect the lymph nodes. How does the body respond once the surgery is done then?

[@ellymen7062]

This was Amazing!!!!!!! thank u!

[@Kiki-vm4dz]

thankyou so much

[@bollywoodbuff123]

Thanks a lot :)

[@carrollindsay432]

Does the lymph system act in all parts of the body and fluid is lost from one side of the body can it travel to the other side of the body in the same area. The body tries to fight infections or bacteria in one side of the body, is this a mirroring affect of the infection i. the other side of the body.

[@zezo595]

thanks

[@adnanaslam110]

thanks..

[@rjc854]

So on that note, what happens when you have swollen, hardened/calcified or damaged lymph nodes particularly in the neck area?

[@erickguardado7828]

You are fucking marvelous guys! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 no words to describe you man

[@chrisserz1]

Does all the crap that enters the nodes get obliterated by the B&T cells? -Or can an accumulation of garbage reside in the node?

[@alucardlord9032]

Does the lymphatic network acts like a fast route for immune cells to reach infected sites?

[@drdwgmd14]

Amazing teacher, where was he in medical school. 4th yr med student here bout to start residency

[@LastyLives]

Hey, are you a doctor now?

[@cleonard95]

If the lymph system is clogged will it affect the B and T cells function?

[@salam7905]

thaaaanks ^^

[@razzmusic4523]

Khan 💯

[@guesswhoami4723]

What happens if you get a lymph node that gets bigger ( popping out ) , is it some kind of swelling?

[@charniquewilliams]

Yes called lymphoma (swelling of the lymph node)

[@gavin7miller]

*lymphoma is cancer of the immune system btw- not swelling

[@gavin7miller]

Lymphoedema is swelling

[@PraneetPaidisetty]

Actually, aren't the B-cells part of the humoral immune system?

[@mariahfox]

Praneet Paidisetty yes, the adaptive immune system is divided into humoral (b cells) and cell mediated divisions(t-cells).

[@captauron4514]

That lymph node looks awfully familiar.

[@leekelly4574]

"Let's give this guy a neck to be generous" :s

[@lctlonlonscommunityandthea7361]

I don't understand any of this stuff, lol. Might as well of been speaking in Chinese.

[@almachan260]

[@untrustworthyturtle9293]
