Trace the sequence of fluid flow through blood vessel to blood vessel by way of the lymphatic system?

The sequence of fluid flow is blood capillaries.... interstitial space or interstitial fluid..... lymphatic capillaries.... lymphatic vessels.... lymphatic ducts..... junction of the internal jugular and subclavian veins. Then what helps this whole sequence is the skeletal muscle pump and the respiratory pump.

What happens to the lymph after it travels through the lymphatic system?

After it travels through the lymphatic system, the lymph nodes filter lymph, trapping bacteria and other disease-causing microorganisms in the fluid.Lymphatic vessels open into veins and the fluid re-enters the bloodstream.As lymph flows through the lymphatic system, it passes through small knobs of tissue called lymph nodes. Lymph nodes filter the lymph, trapping bacteria and other microorganisms that cause disease. When the body is fighting an infection, the lymph nodes enlarge. If you've ever had "swollen glands" when you've been sick, you've actually had swollen lymph nodes.

How does the lymph get into the lymph vessels?

Lymph is a fluid. It flows through the lymphatic vessels by one way valves which allows lymph move way through lymphatic system. Subclavian suction, and skeletal muscle pumps help to propel the lymph through the lymphatic vessels.


What way are lymphatic vessels unlike veins in the cardiovascular system?

The blood system is obviously continuous (from the heart through the arteries to the capillaries and back through the veins to the heart). This is why its called two way, it goes out then back again. When in the capillary beds much of the blood plasma is lost from the system into the intersticial space (the space between the cells). When this builds up it can create too much pressure for the cells. The job of the lymphatic system is to remove the excess fluid from these spaces. So the vessels of the lymphatic system carry the blood from its own capillary-bed-like regions to the Right Lymphatic Duct and the Thoracic Lymphatic Duct which replace the fluid lost from the blood into the left and right Subclacian Veins. This is why its called one way, it carries fluid only in the return direction. It should be noted that the main purpose of the lymphatic system is in fact in the immune system. But this is not related to the question so I have missed it out.
