circulatory and lymphatic systems — home to many components of the host immune defenses. circulatory system — almost universally serious.
Be able to describe the major anatomical features of the circulatory and lymphatic systems; explain why the circulatory and lymphatic systems lack normal microbiota; explain how microorganisms overcome defenses of the circulatory and lymphatic systems to cause infection.
