What direction does lymphatic fluid move?
Away from tissue
Why are valves unidirectional?
Functionally, a valve can only control whether or not a channel isopen. If open, flow goes from high pressure to low.In the venous and lymphatic system the need is to move fluid one direction only in a system where the surrounding pressures fluctuate. Mother Nature fashioned a moving barrier, the valve, with flexible flaps that point downstream. Any back-flow tendency (higher pressures in the direction of the heart) will catch the flaps and flip them closed. As soon as pressure on the inlet side (the extremities) increase, the flaps relax, flop open, and allow downstream flow.
Why the tissue fluid can escape from capillaries but the erythrocytes can not?
The escape of tissue fluid from the capillaries occurs through small gaps present in the walls of the capillaries.These gaps are quite big so as to allow the passage of fairly large molecules but are not large enough to allow the escape of erythrocytes.
What valve designed to allow fluid to pass through in one direction only?
Check valve.
Is tissue fluid a part of blood?
No, tissue fluid is not part of the blood.
What is the importance of a tissue fluid?

What is tissue fluid?
Tissue fluid is the the fluid that surrounds the bodies cells, or technically it "bathes" the cells in the body or cleans them.

What is the pH of tissue fluid?
Blood and tissue fluid normally have a pH of 7.35 to 7.45
What do you mean by tissue fluid?
Interstitial fluid.
What are the functions of tissue fluid?
Tissue fluid helps substances to diffuse into and out of cells. Useful substances like glucose and oxygen pass from tissue fluid into cells. Carbon dioxide and waste chemicals like urea pass out of cells into the tissue fluid. Most of the tissue fluid then passes back into the blood capillaries. Fluid is constantly flowing from the plasma and back into the plasma, but some of it drains into our lymphatic system.
Is cerebrospinal fluid the tissue fluid of the cns?
yes
