The right pinky finger : Describe the formation of lymph within right pinky finger , relating that to blood vessels within the right pinky finger and addressing the physical forces that lead to lymph production. How would the lymph that is formed in right pinky finger be returned to the blood supply? What vessels and lymph organs would it travel through? For the second part of your discussion imagine that there is a potential pathogen within your identified region - what involvement of other lymph organs or individual immune cells would you expect?
