Body Systems Model

By: Grant F, Nicholas N, Robert O, and Jacob R


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
