Drains the muscles and tendons b. Drains the joints c. Drains the inner organs d. ALL OF THE ABOVE e. None of the above - ANSWER All of the above 6. Where is the deep lymphatic system located? a. In the epidermis b. It doesn't exist c. Above the fascia d. BENEATH THE FASCIA - ANSWER Beneath the fascia 7. Pregnancy, congestive heart failure (CHF), dysmenorrhea, and lleus are contraindications for _____________. - ANSWER Abdominal techniques 8. Blood pressure in arteries is higher than blood capillary pressure. True False - ANSWER True 9. If the precapillary sphincter dilates = Less blood into capillaries -- Less volume = decreased Blood Capillary Pressure (BCP). True False - ANSWER False 10. The precapillary sphincter is innervated by the sympathetic portion of the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS). True False - ANSWER True 11. When the precapillary sphincter located at the arteriole contracts: a. Less blood enters into the capillaries b. Volume will decrease and the Blood Capillary pressure will also decrease c. Less filtration occurs d. All of the above - ANSWER All of the above 12. lymphedema - ANSWER protein rich swelling protein and water disease process 13. What is the purpose of the Lymphatic Sys - ANSWER To drain lymphatic load. Sweep or filter interstitial spaces 14. True or False - Lymphatic System is a one way sys? - ANSWER true 15. MLD filtration - ANSWER Water is forced out blood capillaries through semi permeable membrane (Pushes water out) 16. MLD Reabsorption - ANSWER Water picks up waste products and returns them to the venous system (Draws water back in) 17. How many liters of water return to the venous sys via the thoracic duct? - ANSWER 2-4 liters 18. True or False It is the responsibility of the L.S. to remove proteins fro the tissue spaces? - ANSWER True 19. edema - ANSWER Accumulation of fluid in interstitial spaces of tissues. 20. Causes of edema - ANSWER pregnancy venous insufficiency renal failure kidney disease heart condition 21. Most common cause of lymphedema in the US? - ANSWER Breast Cancer Surgery 22. Lymphatic Load - ANSWER Water Protein Cells Long Chain Fatty Acid 23. True or False - Initial lymph capillaries are located just below he epidermis? - ANSWER True 24. Where does lymph formation occur? - ANSWER Initial Lymph Vessels (aka Lymph Capillaries) 25. List the lymphatic process - ANSWER Lymph Capillaries/Vessels Pre-Collectors Collectors Nodes Lymphatic Trunks 26. What are the 3 Regional Lymph Nodes - ANSWER Axillary Inguinal Cervical 27. The force of blood pushing against the walls of the blood vessels - ANSWER Blood Pressure 28. True or False - Blood Pressure is lowered as distance from the heart increases? - ANSWER True 29. Pre Capillary Sphincter - ANSWER regulates blood flow into the capillary bed. If it contracts that equals less blood into capillaries . Less blood means decreased blood capillary pressure. 30. If the Pre capillary Sphincter dilates what happens - ANSWER more blood into capillaries. More blood increase blood capillary pressure 31. True or False - When the BC Sphincter dilates it allows only filtration - ANSWER True 32. True or False - When the BC Sphincter contracts it allows only absorption - ANSWER True
