what is the anatomcal location of major organs in the cardiovascular and lymphatic systems?
ANSWER -
Cardiovuscular system is the system that deals with the providing of the oxygenated blood in whole body and removal of the waste and send deoxygenated blood for purification,
While heart , blood vessels and blood constitute the cardiovuscular system.
The major organ of the cardiovuscular system is the heart and anatomical location of heart is -
Heart is mainly located in the thoracic cavity between the chest in the spaces called mediastinum and heart is more precisely present in the middle mediastinum and sorrounded by the pericardium.
The apex of the heart located in the just left to the sternum and base of the heart lies at the level of third costal cartilage.
This was the location of the heart while other things is the CVS is the arteries veins and capillaries these are the vessels present in all over the body.
LYMPHATIC SYSTEM
This system is also made up from the tiny vessels that drains the lymph circulating and regulate the desired function , there are mainly bone marrow , spleen , thymus gland spleen and lymph nodes are involved and also heart lung , liver , intestine and skin also have the lymphatic tissue but they are not considered as major,
And of which if we consider the major lymphatic organ the two are most major that is RED BONE MARROW AND THYMUS GLAND,
BONE MARROW is mainly found in the bones so in the childrens they are present in the medullary cavity of the bones and in the adults they are present in the flat bones , girdles and scapula etc . here they do the homeopoetic process and produce RBC.
THYMUS gland is the bilobed organ called as lymphoid organ present in the neck , it is present in the superior mediastinum and in the anterior of the inferior mediastinum which is close to the pericadium .
It extends from the inferior poles near thyroid to the 4th coastal cartilage.
and both the lobes of the thymus connected by the isthmus.
These are the major organs of the cardiovuscular and lymphatic system with there anatomical locations as per requirement,
