The document summarizes a group project on the lymphatic and circulatory body systems. It describes the functions and organs of the lymphatic system, which includes the immune system, white blood cells, lymph nodes, thymus and spleen. It also outlines the functions and organs of the circulatory system, which circulates blood through the heart, arteries, veins and capillaries. The group built a physical model to demonstrate the interactions between the two systems using a collection system, rails to transport BBs, a cup for water, BBs to represent blood cells, a water loop, pump and tubing. They went through several iterations before completing their final model and presentation.

Our group chose the Lymphatic and Circulatory Systems: The Lymphatic System: Functions
- Also known as the immune system
- Sends white blood cells to stop infection, after it receives chemical notice - Sends out T cells that regulate, help, and kill antigenic material - Not closed system, open-ended on heart - Reintroduces lost plasma to red blood cells The Lymphatic System: Organs - Lymph nodes - Thymus - Spleen The Circulatory System: Functions - Circulates blood - Supplies oxygen to body parts - Delivers cells & chemicals through the body - Transports nutrients - Moves cells around the body The Circulatory System: Organs - Heart - Arteries - Capillaries - Veins - Coronary Vessels Body Structure Model Structure - Lymphatic - Collection System - A Lymph Node - Rails to transport - Spleen BBs - White blood cells - Cup for water - Circulatory - BBs themselves - Blood - Water Loop - Heart - Water - Veins/arteries - Submersible Pump - Tubing Interactions - T Cells are moved through blood - White blood cells are moved through Blood - Heart signals Lymph Nodes to send white blood cells - White blood cells fight infections to protect arteries/veins/capillaries Build Process - Our project started with failure from: - Multiple improperly sized tubes - Inconsistencies in waterproofing - No fittings of the needed size - Developed new design (4 times) - Spent last 4 days on the final model and the presentation - Designed & constructed lymph node model with extra time on last day Bibliography - https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/lymph - http://www.lymphnotes.com/article.php/id/151/ - http://www.nytimes.com/2009/08/04/science/04angier.html - https://meshb.nlm.nih.gov/record/ui?name=Cardiovascular%20System - https://www.thoughtco.com/circulatory-system-373576 - https://www.britannica.com/science/T-cell - Google Image Search Thanks for Watching!
