ACOLS LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE 1 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS GRADED A+
cytopempsis theory - Answers -Active transport of larger molecules through membranes
-Blood Capillary (BC) walls are not permeable for proteins
-Proteins may leave BC into tissue by way of Cytopempsis
What is Cytopempsis? - Answers Describes the transportation of a substance into a cell and
through the cytoplasm in a vesicle followed by its release to the exterior w/out utilization by the
cell
How many grams of protein are there in each liter of plasma? - Answers 75g
How many liters of blood does the average adult have? - Answers 4-6 liters of blood
how many grams of protein constantly circulate the blood? - Answers 300-400grams
What percentage of circulating blood proteins will leave the entire blood capillary surface within
a 24 hour period and move into the interstitial space? - Answers 50%
T/F Proteins are macromolecules - Answers True
T/F Proteins are Hydrophilic - Answers True (attracted to water)
T/F It is the Lymphatic Systems responsibility to removing proteins from the tissue spaces? -
Answers TRUE
T/F Under normal conditions Proteins are returned to the venous system via the Lymphatic
system - Answers TRUE
Proteins are filtered by the ? - Answers Lymph Nodes
Lymphedema is - Answers High-protein Edema
Once Proteins are in the Interstitium they become? - Answers Lymphatic Load
The body uses protein for? - Answers 1.Provide cell nutrition
2. Aid in immune defense (with albumin/globulin)
3.Aid in Blood coagulation (fibrinogen
Is the Lymphatic system a closed or open system? - Answers LS is a an open circulatory system
it is NOT a CLOSED system
What rout system does the LS provide - Answers The Lymphatic System (LS) provides an
accessory rout by which Lymph fluid can flow from Tissues back to the Bloodstream
, What does Lymph travel through to be filtered? - Answers Lymph travels through many
successive lymph nodes to be filtered
Does the Lymphatic System have a central Pump? - Answers No, the LS does NOT have a
central pump
Dr. Emil Vodder re-discovered who's technique in the early 1900's? - Answers Alexander Von
Winiwarter (1848-1917) Austrian- Belgian surgeon, who successfully treated Elephantiastic
limbs w/ elevation, compression and special "massage"
Dr. Emil Vodder and wife Estrid successfully treated what? - Answers They successfully treated
Patients with Colds and Swollen lymph nodes
Emil Vodder named his techniques - Answers Manual Lymph Drainage massage
Manual Lymph drainage (MLD) should not be called? - Answers Massage
Massage is to kneed and is typically - Answers Deeper work
MLD is what pressure and focuses on what layers of the tissue? - Answers MLD is typically
lighter and superficial
Lymphedema is - Answers Abnormal accumulation of Protein and water in the Interstitial space
-resulting in inflammation, adipose tissue hypertrophy and fibrosis.
The consequent limb edema and induration can result in disfigurement, decreased mobility,
and/or limb dysfunction.
Lymphedema is what type of swelling? - Answers It is protein - rich swelling
T/F Lymphedema is considered a disease process? - Answers True
Lymphedema is considered what type of insufficiency ? - Answers It is considered a Mechanical
insufficiency of the LS
What is a Mechanical Insufficiency of the Lymphatic System? - Answers This condition occurs
when there is a reduction of the total functional capacity of the lymphatic system, which is
insufficient even when the lymphatic load is normal or only moderately increased.
What is the PURPOSE of the Lymphatic System? - Answers Drain substances that CANNOT be
drained and Reabsorbed by the blood system
-These substances are called= Lymphatic Loads (LL)
What does Lymphatic Load consist of? - Answers water, protein, cells, fat (long chain fatty acid)
Lymphedema occurs due to an imbalance in what? - Answers the rate of lymph production
