Lymphatic System
[q]
Lymphatic system – functions[a]This system removes excess tissue fluid and plasma proteins leaked from capillaries into tissue space, filter/clean lymph, maintains lymphocytes and absorbs fats.
[q]
Lymphatic system structure[a]This system is composed of lymph capillaries, lacteals, lymphatic vessels, trunks and ducts.
[q]
Lymphahtic system – location[a]This system is found in all vascular tissue except bones, teeth, bone marrow and CNS.
[q]
Lacteals – define[a]This term describes the type of capillaries in the small intestine.
[q]
Lymph capillary – structure[a]This structure is composed of a single layer of endothelial cells that overlap slightly, forming minivalves.
[q]
What is the effect of hydrostatic blood pressure on the plasma in the capillaries?[a]This force moves blood plasma out of capillaries into interstitial spaces.
[q]
What is the effect of osmotic pressure on the interstitial fluid?[a]This force draws interstitial fluid into capillaries from interstitial spaces.
[q]
Lymph vessel – structure[a]This structure is composed of the same 3 tunics as veins but the walls are thinner and have more valves.
[q]
Right lymph duct – function[a]This structure drains lymph from right arm, right side of head, right thorax into the right subclavian vein.
[q]
Thoracic duct – function[a]This structure drains lymph from lower extremities, left side thorax, left upper extremity, left side of head into the left subclavian vein.
[q]
Cisterna chyli – function[a]This sac-like structure drains lymph from lower extremities and intestinal trunk into the thoracic duct.
[q]
Cisterna chyli – location[a]This sac-like structure is level with L1, L2.
[q]
How long does it take for the body to produce 3 liters of lymph?[a]How much lymph is produced by the body each day.
[q]
What drives lymph circulation?[a]This process is performed by skeletal muscle compression, respiration and smooth muscle vessel contraction.
[q]
Lymph nodes – describe[a]This structures are oval shaped capsules containing lymphocytes and macrophages.
[q]
Afferent lymphatics – direction of flow[a]These vessels allow lymph to flow into lymph nodes.
[q]
Efferent lymphatics – direction of flow[a]This vessels allows lymph to flow out of lymph nodes.
[q]
Diffuse lymphatic tissue – describe[a]This structure is unencapsulated and consists of reticular CT fibers and WBC’s.
[q]
Lymphatic nodules – describe[a]This structures are composed of concentrated oval shaped areas of lymph tissue lacking a capsule.
[q]
Diffuse lymphatic tissue – location[a]This structure is found lining mucous membranes of GI, respiratory, urinary, and reproductive tracts.
[q]
Diffuse lymphatic tissue – function[a]This structure forms a second protective barrier behind the mucous membranes.
[q]
Primary lymph organs – function[a]These organs are the sites of B and T cell production and maturation.
[q]
Primary Lymph Organs – list[a]This type of organ includes the bone marrow and thymus.
[q]
Secondary lymph organs – function[a]These organs are where B cells and T cells live and work.
[q]
Secondary lymph organs – list[a] lymph nodes, spleen and tonsils.
[q]
Spleen – function[a] monitors blood for pathogenic organisms and has macrophages to remove old platelets, erythrocytes and debris from blood.
[q]
Spleen – describe[a] fist sized capsule located in left upper quadrant of abdomen containing blood vessels & efferent lymph vessels.
[q]
Lymphyedema – define[a]This term describes swelling of a limb often due to removal of lymph nodes and vessels.
[q]
Systemic edema – define[a]This term describes an excess of tissue fluid in entire body, often due to high blood pressure, liver failure or blockage of the lymph system.
