4 Why would you do a stem cell transplant? Bone marrow stops working Help make healthy WBC, RBC and platelets Stem cells develop into healthy bone marrow Leukemia, Lymphoma, Multiple Myeloma, Sickle Cell Anemia

5 How do stem cell treatments work? Chemo or radiation treatment to clear body of cancerous cells Stem cells from a donor (preferably a sibling) are introduced into the patient through a drip Stem cell treatment has come a long way in the last 12 years.

6 Lymphatic System Latin-Lymphaticus Primary function is to transport lymph Lymph-colorless fluid containing WBC that help rid the body of toxins, waste and other unwanted material Similar to cardiovascular and blood systems

7 Lymphatic Systems Functions Lymphatic vessels transport lymph to and from bloodstream Lymph transports various substances around the body Contains WBC only Carries less protein than blood; about same amount of water salts, sugar and waste material
