Tyler ISD Career & Technology Center health science students took part in an 'infection chase' this week to learn about the functions of the various parts of the lymphatic system. Each student group had to 'chase' down the infection by studying a series of clues listed throughout the building. By piecing together the clues, they learned the entry point of the infection and how the body uses its various organs and lymph nodes to halt the infection and heal the body.
