The structural levels of organisation are as follows:
Cellular
The lymphatic vessels are lined by the simple squamous epithelium that form the endothelium and are called lymphatic endothelial cells. The endothelium forms an interface between the lymph and the vessel wall. The endothelial cells of the lymphatic system loosely overlap, unlike the vascular endothelial cells of the blood vessels. They loosely overlap so when the fluid pressure increases in the surrounding regions they can separate to allow the excess fluid to enter the lymph capillary.
Tissue
There are 4 different types of tissues in the human body, epithelial, connective, muscular and nervous. One of the main ones to look at with the lymphatic system is epithelial tissue. The epithelial tissues have many functions but the ones that affects the lymphatic system are diffusion and cleaning.
Organ
The organs that make up the lymphatic system are the lymph nodes – small, oval or bean shaped and mainly found in the inguinal (groin), axillary (armpit) and mammary gland areas, the thymus – a bilobed organ located in the upper chest region between the lungs, posterior to the sternum and the spleen – which measures about 12 cm in length. It is located on the left side of the body, inferior to the diaphragm and at the left edge of the stomach.
Organism
The highest level of organization is the organism. An organism is a living being that has a cellular structure and that can independently perform all physiologic functions necessary for life. In multicellular organisms, including humans, all cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems of the body work together to form the organism.
The lymphatic system includes lymph (a clear fluid), the lymph vessels and the lymph nodes (or gl...

The client will need doctor's permission to have this treatment because she has previously had breast cancer and finished chemotherapy 6 weeks ago. May also need to avoid the chemotherapy port on the client.
• Relevant medical history and medication
The client is currently recovering from breast cancer and finished chemotherapy treatment 6 weeks ago.
• Outcomes of previous treatments
Client has never had a lymphatic drainage massage before.
Q3 Provide aftercare service and advice using correct terminology
The client should drink plenty of water afterwards to help flush the lymph from the body. Caffeine and alcohol should be avoided as it can cause headaches, nausea and lethargy as it adds even more toxins to the body. Client should get plenty of rest after the treatment and eat lightly so the body can concentrate on lymph drainage.
The Organisation structure of a company addresses the fact that every organisation has specific units that are responsible for different roles and actions in the organisation and that no department within the organisation stands alone, they are intertwined. The organisational chart or structure should be designed to divide up the work load, responsibilities and roles to be done
organization: it goes beyond that. It is a concept, a people's movement, an idea. The concept of
The smallest arteries are called arterioles and they play a vital role in microcirculation. Microcirculation deals with the circulation of blood from arterioles to capillaries to venules the smallest veins. The liver, spleen and bone marrow contain vessel structures called sinusoids instead of capillaries. In these structures blood flows from arterioles to sinusoids to venules.
Located throughout the body along the vessels of the lymphatic system are the lymph nodes. Lymph nodes contain lymphocytes. Lymph nodes collect pathogens from the lymph and expose them to lymphocytes.
Simple epithelia: Epithelia tissue can have cell shapes these are the Columnar, Cuboidal, and Squamous Cell Shapes. All this cells shapes are part of a type of an epithelia tissue which is the simple Epithelia. There are columnar cells, which means column-like cells and squamous cells, which are flattened and scale-like cells, simple squamous epithelia is found in walls of lung alveoli, blood capillaries and bowman’s
Weigh yourself after the treatment and write down your weight, if recommended by your health care provider. Follow these instructions at home: Eating and drinking Follow your health care provider's instructions about diet. You should follow a diet plan that includes: Nutritional counseling with a dietitian. Vitamin supplements.
The spleen is a fist-sized, spongy organ located behind the stomach (removed in this illustration), just under the diaphragm. Part of the lymphatic system, the spleen is composed of two types of tissue. White pulp produces lymphocytes, which release antibodies into the bloodstream to combat infection. More prominent is the red pulp, in which macrophages filter broken cells, parasites, bile pigments, and other useless substances from the blood. Iron from broken red blood cells is stored in the spleen for later use. Despite this variety of functions, an injured or diseased spleen can be removed in adults without great consequence.
The structure and function of our immune systems is a great help for our body to keep all of us healthy. Our immune system has a specific structure that it should maintain. There are also organs that play a major part for the health of our immune system. These organs are called lymphoid organs because of the lymphocytes that inhabit that area. (white blood cells) Bone marrow is also one of the key elements for the immune system, this is where all of our blood cells are being made along with the white blood cells. With the help of the bone marrow, white blood cells are constantly traveling throughout our bodies using the blood cells for help. Another structure that is important for our immune system is lymphoid tissue. Lymphoid tissue acts as a gateway into our bodies that help to prevent incoming germs.
An organization is a social unit of people that is designed and managed to meet a need or to pursue collective goals. All organizations have a management structure that determines relationships between the different activities and the members, and subdivisions and assigns roles, responsibilities, and authority to carry out different tasks. Organizations are open systems; they can affect and are affected by their environment (What is an organization? definition and meaning, 2013). Working in an organization individual’s deal with numerous issues. Drugs and alcohol abuse in organizations has become a main concern.
progress that the patient is making. That open communication and collaboration effort is a must.
Human character is expressed through consistent virtue that is engrained in a person and demonstrates tenacity in the face of testing. In Wright’s, After You Believe, Wright describes human character as a pattern of thinking and acting which runs right through a person. If a person fails to demonstrate consistency of virtue in the presence of pressure, the person’s true nature becomes apparent and his or her character is jeopardized. A person may be outwardly humble, yet in the face of demotion or false accusation, he may harbor offense and pride.
The lymphatic system is a network of lymphatic vessels that is a blunt-ended linear system in which lymph (a fluid comprised of tissue fluids, cells and large extracellular molecules) is returned to the bloodstream. The lymphatic system is one of the body’s defenses against illness and disease. It is sometimes included as part of the circulatory system and includes the immune
Tissues are composed of groups of cells that have similar shapes and functions. There are four main types of tissue found in the human body: epithelial tissue, connective tissue, muscular tissue, and nervous tissue. Each tissue has unique characteristics that differentiate them from one another. Epithelial tissue covers the surface of the body, connective tissue adds support and structure to the body, muscular tissue contracts to allow movement, and nervous tissue controls the organs (Hoehn & Marieb, 2007, p. 118).
The lymphatic system’s main task is transporting lymph consisting of…. Lymph helps cleanse the body of waste, toxins, and other foreign particles, such as infectious microorganisms. Lymph is formed from interstitial fluid in bodily tissues. The lymphatic system is a subsystem of the circulatory system (define all the components of the circulatory system?), however, unlike the blood, the lymph only flows in one direction (Zimmerman, 2013). The lymphatic vessels have a starting point in the tissues as lymphatic capillaries that permeate almost every tissue in the body. Lymph is collected by the lymphatic capillaries and then travels towards the neck through the lymphatic vessels. The lymph is prevented from flowing backwards through the vessels by valves and muscular contractions. Along its journey, the lymph is filtered for viral and bacterial pathogens and cancerous cells by lymph nodes, small bean-shaped masses made of lymph tissue. The lymph is drained into larger vessels that join to form lymphatic trunks connected to the veins at the base of the neck. The lymph is then drained into the right and left subclavian veins that return the filtered lymph to the venous bloodstream (“Lymphatic System,” 2013).
The system contains the fluid lymph that flows within lymphatic vessels. The system also consists of
