Today Hank explains your unsung lymphatic system and how it supports cardiovascular function by collecting, filtering, and returning interstitial fluid back into the bloodstream via a system of lymphatic vessels. He also explains the system’s major role in fighting off infection, and how lymph nodes, other lymphoid organs, and MALT areas house antigen-attacking lymphocytes that provide crucial support to the immune system.

Me being happy that hank mentions seattle any other Washington residents here?
Everything about you/discussion is beautifulllllll…!!!!
Im a brazilian student, and omg! Even for me that dont have a fluent vocabulary could understand the class. This helped me better than a bunch of pdfs and old videos that i have. Thank u a lot.
I love you CC
You are speaking too fast. I dont remember a single sentence after watching the whole video
I LOVE YOU!
7:42 THANK YOU!
I like it
Thank you so much Sir & your team!
crashcourse is incredibly helpful! love it
FUUUUUN!! I needed this review, it's been over 20 years since college and I have had a lot of patients with lymph issues lately. Thank you!
I have a question is the heart part of the lymphatic system?????????????????
Guc
4:05 I love how the capillaries dance!
Video starts 2:10
Thanx to you I finally understand what a lymph is
04:05 it's vs its. With all the appalling mistakes that have been happening in the last few videos, this series is the last thing I was expecting to hit the illiterate bingo.
How the hell did it happen? Why did that person who typed all this stool get the job in the first place?
Hi CrashCourse! Do you have a reference for where you read that there are 600-700 lymph nodes in the body? Thank you!
Subhana Allah! This is precise & smart technology in us!
I am watching these from 2019 and it always cleared all my problems
Your explanation is extreme sir
Nice video. One question, why is the right side of the symstem smaller than the left?
Is lymphatic system responsible for inability to sweat – Also how does auto immune disorders connect with lymphatic system specifically Hashimotos ?
10 great minutes. Thank you.
Love the comparison of the lymphatic system to security! It's funny how a simple analogy can make information that seems overwhelming more relatable and less daunting. Thank you! 🙂
what are the two other main parts of the lymphatic system apart from Lymph?
I understand its a crash course but you moved/spoke way too fast. Crash course hits major/important points without going into all the details, doesnt necessarily mean speak and give a lot of imformation really fast. Had I not already known some of the terms and what goes on, I would've been utterly and completely lost.
What about when someone has there tonsils removed due to re-occurring tonsillitis? Does this impact the rest of the lymphatic system in any way?
I really did not need that gross slurpy sound
Thanks Hank❤️ I passed my exam & made a 90%
Your information is great.. BUT please slow down. Its a school zone, lets drop the speed to 40km oppose to 110
Really appreciated, Hank! Haven't IGNORED the importance of taking care of my lymph system since graduating nursing school in 93'…
Awesone🧩🕊🎋🛠🙏💒🎓very funny
Your voice is horrible
Seriously giving me the ability to graduate Highschool with these online classes since the COVID-19 caused my schools to close down. Thank you!
Good video for me..very clear info I got n refresh..but for those who cannot catch what this video is all about, more illustrations I think will help them..
