(Chapter 31) lymphatic system Jan 2021
What does the lymphatic system do? Maintains fluid balance in the internal environment.
-interstitial fluid is absorbed by tissue cells and reabsorbed by the blood
-absorbs fat in the intestine with special lymph structures called lacteals
edema puffy swelling of tissue from the accumulation of fluid that can cause tissue
distruction
the lymph vessels act as "drains " thats- collect excess tissue fluid and > venous blood
lymph clear, water- appearing fluid found in the lymphatic vessels.
-This fluid is isotonic
Interstitial Fluid -fills space between cells
-has a lower protein concentration
, lymphatic capillaries -microscopic
-blind end vessel that are the origin of lymphatic vessels
-lymphatic and blood capillary network work side by side
-lymphatic capillaries merge from the lymphatic vessels and drain into the
lymphatic trunk
what type of cells are lymphatic capillaries made up flattened endothelial cells (simple Squamous)
of?
lymphatic vessel contains -thin walls
-valves (these valves are one way)
-lymph nodes
as the lymph flows from thin walled capillaries into thicker- similar to arteries and veins
vessels with a larger diameter.. the walls become
THINER or Thicker?
Lymphatic vessel functions -high molecular weight substance and even particulate matter from interstitial
space
-lacteals absorb fat and other nutrician from the small intestine
-PROTIENS THAT ACCUMULATE IN THE Tissue can only return to the blood
through lymphatics
chyle milky lymph found in lacteals after digestion contain 1-2% fat.
Lymph from the upper right quadrant drains into right lymphatic duct, subclavian vein
the_______ _______ _________ and empties into the _____________
vein
Lymph for the rest of the body drain into the __________ thoracic duct
_________
thoracic duct originates in the cisterna chyli
where is the cisterna chyli located? Anterior to the first two lumbar vertebrae.
How is lymph circulated through the body through muscles contraction and relaxation
lymphatic pump Lymph moves in the right direction due to the large number of valves
The flow of lymph can be visualized in a ______________ Lymphangiogram
