Lymphatic System Sample Clauses

Lymphatic System. The lymphatic system is really a part of the circulatory system. It consists of a fluid, called the lymph, which fills all the spaces in body tissue, lymph vessels and numerous lymph glands or nodes (such as in the groin and under the arm). The lymphatic system has no central pump but relies on body movement to move fluid around. It is responsible for the transfer of material between the circulatory system and all cells of the body. It also plays an important part in protecting the body. Lymph nodes filter out substances like bacteria, small particles and even cancerous cells, preventing them from entering the blood system and spreading to other areas of the body. If the skin is broken, the lymphatic system is one of the means by which the radionuclide may be taken up by the body. The lymphatic system will transport the radionuclide within the local area of the wound prior to being taken into the blood and transported within the circulatory system.

If an employee is pregnant and her physician believes the pregnancy could be in jeopardy as a result of the influenza inoculation and/or the antiviral medication she shall be eligible for sick leave in circumstances where she is not allowed to attend at work as a result of an outbreak.
