Chapter 28 - The lymphatic and immune systems. After completing chapter 28, you will be able to: List the pathways and organs of the lymphatic system and give their locations; define lymph and tell how it is circulated in the body; define the terms infection, pathogen, and antigen; list and describe the nonspecific body defense mechanisms; explain the signs and causes of inflammation;. | 28 The Lymphatic and Immune Systems 28- Learning Outcomes List the pathways and organs of the lymphatic system and give their locations.
