QUESTIONS AND VERIFIED SOLUTIONS
◉ Lipedema stage 4. Answer: elephantitis, large over hangs
◉ Turner syndrome. Answer: non hereditary, congenital, hypoplasia,
short sterile webbed neck, females only and can resolve
◉ Meiges syndrome. Answer: female, type II non congenital
hereditary, onset puberty (praecox)
-Usually involved LEs, syndactylism (fusion of toes), distichisis (2
rowsx of eyelashes),
Effects B/L lower quadrants= therefore BLEs usually effected
Primary lymph therefore= effects b/l LQ
◉ Milroy syondrome. Answer: At birth for males or shortly after
Normally includes 1 leg, but may include both, arms, genitals or face
Hypoplasia (less tissue development than norm)
LE common, can havev upper
◉ Distichiasis syndrome. Answer: Variant peripubertal onset
Congenital anomaly
,Hyperplasia with lower limb with reflux (pooling)
Not always LE
May appear alone or with : heart defects, cleft palette, craniofacial
others
◉ Klippel- Trenuary (webber syondrome or KTWS). Answer:
praecox, non-hereditary, malformed lymph vessels with reflux
-overgrowth of veins, arteries, tissues
-port stain wine, bone hypertrophy, webbed digits
◉ Klinfelter syndrome. Answer: chomosome disorder in males
tall, long, poor puberty development, enlarged breast, small testes,
sparce facial hair
◉ Stewart Treves. Answer: angiosarcoma in chronic lymph as a
result of radical mastectomy
bruise but not tender
◉ Podoconosis. Answer: endemic non filorial elephantitis
geochemical, iritants in soil
◉ tenia pedis. Answer: athletes foot
,◉ tenia coporis. Answer: ringworm
◉ Lymph capillaries are found. Answer: in close proximity to blood
vessels in interstitial space of subendothelial and mucous
membrane
◉ lymphatic capillary characteristics. Answer: form lymph plexus
covering entire body, function ABSORB for lymph formation(larger
than blood capillaries, more permeable)
-flat endothelial cells with inlet
◉ Pre-collectors. Answer: connect capillary to connectors;
TRANSPORT (can absorb), have smooth muscle i some places and
may have some valves
◉ Collectors. Answer: -connect nodes to trunks
-similar to veins with 3 layers (intima=endothelial, media= smooth
muscle, adventitia=connective tissue)
-valves with proximal flow
◉ Lymphangiohn. Answer: functional unit with valves propelling
lymph distal->proximal
-intrinsic contractility- how lymph is pumped
, -autonomic contraction frequency of 10-12 a minute
(lymphangiomotoricity)
-proximal valve open during systole
◉ what stimulates lymphangion. Answer: SYMPATHETIC
- skeletal contraction, arterial pulses, respiratory changes, central
vein pressure, external pressure (MLD), mew lymph production
◉ circulatory system. Answer: leaves heart via L ventricle->via
aorta-> arteries -> arterioles-> blood capillaries-> venules -> veins->
inferior vena cava (LB blood) and superior vena cava (UB blood) ->R
atrium -> pulmonary artery via r ventricle -> lungs -> pulmonary
vein-> L aorta
◉ diffusion. Answer: transfer of molecules via concentration
gradient (high->low concentration)
◉ defective veins form what-. Answer: varicosities d/t valve not
working properly and blood flows backwards
◉ differences b/t circulatory and lymph system. Answer: -The
lymphatic system is not a closed circulatory
system.
-There is no central pump in the lymphatic system.
