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.
capillaries
--lymphatiC sYsTeM--
the oxygenated blood flows from arteries to capillaries and after the exchange of material in capillaries and tissues it goes to vein and veins carries this deoxygenated blood to heart.
Yes,. When interstitial fluid flows through the lymphatic vessels it is called lymph
As blood flows through capillaries, it exchanges nutrients, wastes, and oxygen with body tissues. This transfer is accomplished via diffusion.
The Rhone River originates in the Swiss Alps and flows into the Mediterranean Sea. It flows through France and passes the cities of Avignon, Arles and Marseille.
precapillary sphincters
small veins.
Generally blood from the capillaries flows into venules which lead into larger veins and is then pumped to the heart. However there are a few exceptions where capillaries lead from one artery to another artery, but this only happens in the glomerular capsule of the kidney and the hypothalamus.
When our capillaries exchange fluids with the tissues in our body, a balance of hydrostatic pressure (fluid leaving vessels) and osmotic pressure occurs (fluid entering vessels).So as the blood flows into the capillary, the hydrostatic pressure is usually strong and so fluid and all dissolved materials leaves the capillaries into the tissues of our body, leaving big stuff like protein still in the capillaries. Now once, the blood finishes it's "tour" of the tissue and reaches the end of capillary bed, the osmotic pressure is much stronger and so fluid flows back into the capillaries, which is high in solute (like proteins) but low in fluids.However, sometimes, say by a lack of proteins within the blood, this latter reabsorption is unable to occur, leading to an accumulation of fluid in that particular tissue. This swelling is called "edema".So now the lymphatic system comes into play, absorbing all this pooled up blood and properly redistributing it throughout the body, among other things such as doing a "security check" on the blood and fighting any dangerous foreign materials. The blood that enters this lymphatic system is called lymph, which eventually becomes mixed up with the rest of our blood at the subclavian vein..
