3.What would the body be like without your system? Could an individual survive? Could the species survive? Could we adapt to living without this system? How?
4.How does each part contribute to the overall function of the system?
5.What influence does your system have on the other systems of the body? What influence do the other systems have on yours?

Ok sounds like you have a little project here so I'll start you off:
1. carries excess interstitial fluid back to the blood stream & comprises most of the immune system
2. lymph vessels, lymph nodes, lymphocytes..
3. no immune system - body would be unable to fight off infections
4. lymph vessels - carry lymph from tissues to major veins
lymph nodes - filter lymph
lymphocytes - humoral and cell-mediated immunity
5. related to circulatory system - returns lost fluid from tissues back into the major veins to maintain constant volume; some lymph nodules/nodes close to epithelial surfaces - provides immune surveilance & protection
6. Some viruses eg. HIV
7. Congenital defects of lymphocytes (there are tons out there & easy to find)
8. Please don't reference this, use it as a starting point to direct your own research.
good luck :)
