,what are the functions of the lymphatic system? - - filters lymph
what constituents can leave the capillaries? - - leucocytes
- food
- water

what drains into the lymphatic capillaries instead of the blood capillaries? - -
pressure is lower here
- excess tissue fluid
- micro organisms
- foreign matter + damaged cells
how is lymph described? - - clear
- colourless fluid

how are micro organisms destroyed? - phagocytic monocytes and neutrophils
engulf and destroy bacteria draining them to the lymphatic capillaries.
what does an obstruction in tissue fluid cause? - oedema
what is tissue fluid? - As blood passes through the blood capillaries some of the
fluid oozes out through the capillary walls and bathes the tissues
https://www.stuvia.com\
, what do lymphatic capillaries eventually form? - they unite to form lymphatic
vessels collecting excess tissue fluid.

heart
- knotted or beaded appearance
- drain into the nodes
what type of circulation is the lymphatic system? - subsidiary
what are the lymphatic organs? - - spleen, thymus gland, adenoids, lymph
nodes, appendix, bone
marrow and tonsils
what do lacteals do? - found in the villi of small intestine; absorb fat -
emulsified by bile and
carried to cisterna chilli.
