How does the lymphatic system prevent edema? (Function) - --ANS---Drains interstitial fluid
from tissue spaces
Functions of the lymphatic system - --ANS---Transports digested fat to blood, develop
immunities, produce lymphocytes
What do lymph capillaries do? - --ANS---absorb interstitial fluid and deliver it to larger lymph
vessels
Where are lymph capillaries located? - --ANS---between cells
How are lymphatics formed? - --ANS---When lymph capillaries unite
What are the two main channels the lymphatics converge into? - --ANS---Thoracic duct and
lymphatic duct.

Where are lymph nodes found? - --ANS---along lymphatic vessels
lymph nodes - --ANS---Bean-shaped filters that cluster along the lymphatic vessels of the body.
They function as a cleanser of lymph as wells as a site of T and B cell activation
efferent lymphatics - --ANS---Leave lymph node at hilum. Carry lymph away from lymph node
and toward venous circulation
afferent lymphatics - --ANS---carry lymph to the lymph node from peripheral tissues
trabeculae - --ANS---divide the node into compartments
germinal - --ANS---centres of compartments that produce lymphocytes
interstitial fluid - --ANS---Plasma in interstitial spaces
lymph - --ANS---interstitial fluid once it has entered lymphatic vessels
How are lymph trunks formed? - --ANS---lymphatic collecting vessels converge
How is lymph circulation maintained? - --ANS---Normal skeletal muscle contractions
(compresses and forces lymph in one direction), respiratory or breathing movements, smooth
muscle in lymphatic vessels

lumbar lymph trunk - --ANS---drains lower extremities and pelvis
intestinal Lymph trunk - --ANS---drain abdominal region
Bronchomediastinal and intercostal Lymph trunk - --ANS---drain thorax
subclavian lymph trunk - --ANS---drains upper extremities
jugular lymph trunk - --ANS---drains head and neck
What are the two main Lymphatic trunks - --ANS---thoracic duct and right lymphatic duct
thoracic duct - --ANS---Drains into the left subclavian vein
right lymphatic duct - --ANS---Drains into the right subclavian vein
tonsils - --ANS---masses of lymphatic tissue in the back of the oropharynx-forma protection of
the nose and the oral cavity
Thymus - --ANS---Gland in the thoracic cavity above the heart where T lymphocytes production
occurs and mature.
