lymphatic system

Jan 2021




What does the lymphatic system do?

Maintains fluid balance in the internal environment.

-interstitial fluid is absorbed by tissue cells and reabsorbed by the blood

-absorbs fat in the intestine with special lymph structures called lacteals




edema

puffy swelling of tissue from the accumulation of fluid that can cause tissue distruction




the lymph vessels act as "drains " thats-

collect excess tissue fluid and > venous blood




lymph

clear, water- appearing fluid found in the lymphatic vessels.

-This fluid is isotonic

,Interstitial Fluid

-fills space between cells

-has a lower protein concentration




lymphatic capillaries

-microscopic

-blind end vessel that are the origin of lymphatic vessels

-lymphatic and blood capillary network work side by side

-lymphatic capillaries merge from the lymphatic vessels and drain into the lymphatic trunk




what type of cells are lymphatic capillaries made up of?

flattened endothelial cells (simple Squamous)




lymphatic vessel contains

-thin walls

-valves (these valves are one way)

-lymph nodes




as the lymph flows from thin walled capillaries into vessels with a larger diameter.. the walls
become THINER or Thicker?

thicker- similar to arteries and veins

,Lymphatic vessel functions

-high molecular weight substance and even particulate matter from interstitial space

-lacteals absorb fat and other nutrician from the small intestine

-PROTIENS THAT ACCUMULATE IN THE Tissue can only return to the blood through lymphatics




chyle

milky lymph found in lacteals after digestion contain 1-2% fat.




Lymph from the upper right quadrant drains into the_______ _______ _________ and empties
into the _____________ vein

right lymphatic duct, subclavian vein




Lymph for the rest of the body drain into the __________ _________

thoracic duct




thoracic duct originates in the

cisterna chyli




where is the cisterna chyli located?

Anterior to the first two lumbar vertebrae.

, How is lymph circulated through the body

through muscles contraction and relaxation




lymphatic pump

Lymph moves in the right direction due to the large number of valves




The flow of lymph can be visualized in a ______________

Lymphangiogram




lymphatic pump

-inspiration establishes fluid pressure gradient

-skeletal muscles contractions increase flow

-total volume of lymph depends on depth on inspiration

-lymph enter and return rates very

- depends on the amount of physical activity and other factors




What is the shape of a lymph node?

oval shaped structure
