Sample Text

"The main organs that contain lymphatic tissue are the red bone marrow, thymus, lymph nodes and spleen. Lymphatic tissue is also present in the mucous membranes that line the digestive, respiratory, urinary and reproductive tracts of the body. Mucous membranes are the thin, fragile tissues that line most of the body's openings and passages. They protect the body by secreting mucus, which keeps the tissues moist and elastic, and contains antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal chemicals." (Helping Clients Who Have Edema by Sharon Burch, MSN, RN, NCTMB and Bethany C. Searcey, NCTMB, (2002), pp. 36-37)
