Why do lymph nodes sometimes become large and tender?
Because the tissue fluid cannot get back to the blood.
How does fluid in your blood become lymph?
The fluids in the blood leak through the capillaries and into the surrounding tissue. After the cells are bathed the fluid moves into the the lymphatic system. It is then returned into the bloodstream
Where does lymph come from?
Lymph comes from the interstitial fluids spaces in blood where interstitial fluid is found. Lymph is composed mainly of white blood cells.
What is the fluid lost by blood called?
Lymph
Where does lymph fluid return to?
To the blood stream.
Is the plasma membrane the same as intercellular fluid?
There are many differences that can be found between blood and lymph fluid. The cells that are present in blood include erythrocytes, leucocytes, and plates. In lymph fluid the only cells present are lymphocytes. Blood contains hormones and plasma proteins making blood rich in proteins. Lymph fluid has very few proteins present. Blood contains more glucose, amino acids, and oxygen than lymph fluid. However, lymph fluid has more carbon dioxide than blood.
What fluid forms lymph?
Lymph is basically the same as the plasma from the blood. Lymph is formed when plasma leaks out of blood vessels into the interstitial space.
What is called when tissue fluid diffuses into the lymphatic capillaries?
the fluid is called lymph which isn't considered blood because it doesn't have haemoglobin, and isn't considered tissue fluid because it lacks certain substances... so they call it lymph and it gets mixed with blood in the end anyway...
What is extracellular fluid AND where is it found?
Extracellular fluid is the fluid outside of cells. It is in the interstitial space, in the blood vessels and lymph vessels
What is the fluid connective tissue of the body?
Blood and lymph fluid (the proper term is fluidconnective tissue)
Where does lymph originally come from?
Lymph is basically the fluid that is between the cells of the body (interstitial fluid), and is basically the same as blood plasma. It initially leaks out of the arteries because the blood in the arteries are under higher hydrostatic pressure than the tissues on the outside of the arteries. As it collects in the tissues, it is sucked up by the lymph system and returned to circulation in the subclavian vein.
What is the fluid and particles absorbed into lymph capillaries?
blood
