∙ 11y agoThe liquid part of your blood (known as "blood plasma") obviously carries all the solid parts of your blood, ie Red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. It also contains all the "loose chemicals" and nutrients your body may produce, like hormones, salts, proteins, etc.
Most things that make their way around your body do so via the bloodstream.

How does lymph move through the lymph vessels without a pump?
The contradiction and relaxation of skeletal muscles moves lymph trough the lymph vessels.
When fluid bathes the cells it is called interstitial fluid when it flows through the lymphatic vessels it is called lymph?
Yes,. When interstitial fluid flows through the lymphatic vessels it is called lymph
What structure ensures a slow flow of the lymph nodes?
Lymph enters the lymph node through a series of afferent lymphatic vessels and exits the lymph node via efferent lymphatic vessels. There are more afferent lymphatic vessels than there are efferent lymphatic vessels, slowing down the flow. The reason the slow flow is desirable is that it allows time for lymphocytes and macrophages to carry out their protective functions of removing debris from lymph.
Where does the lymphatic system drain?
Lymph is interstitial fluid that drains from the blood vessels and goes into the interstital space. Lymph retruns to the blood stream via the lymphatic vessels that drain into the subclavian vein.
The name of the vessels through which lymph finally rejoins general circulation is called?
superior vena cava
What describes how lymph flows through the lymphatic system?
Skeletal muscles squeeze the lymph through lymph vessels. Valves in the vessels prevent backflow
How does lymph move through the lymph vessels without a pump?
The contradiction and relaxation of skeletal muscles moves lymph trough the lymph vessels.
The method by which lymph is pushed through the lymph vessels is?
The contraction of certain muscles squeezes the lymph vessels, pumping lymph throughout the system
What vessel does the lymph exit through?
A lymph vessel. They are similar in function to blood vessels. However the lymph is moved along the vessel by muscle contractions rather than by the heart pumping.
When fluid bathes the cells it is called interstitial fluid when it flows through the lymphatic vessels it is called lymph?
Yes,. When interstitial fluid flows through the lymphatic vessels it is called lymph
What is the region of a lymph node through which blood vessels pass?
it is the hilumHilum
What organs are found in the lymphatic system?
Lymph vessels,lymph nodes,spleen,
What does the human lymphatic system consists of?
There are two parts to the lymphatic system, the lymph vessels and the lymph nodes. The vessels carry excess interstitial fluid away to the vena cava just before it enters the heart. These vessels run through the lymph nodes. The nodes produce lymphocytes that piggyback the lymph flow to join the blood circulation.
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 is difference between serum and lymph?
Serum is in the blood vessels (circulating blood). Lymph is the plasma that diffuses through the arteries (used to be part of the blood) into the lymph system. Once it flows through the lymph system, it will rejoin with blood through veins.
What structure ensures a slow flow of the lymph nodes?
Lymph enters the lymph node through a series of afferent lymphatic vessels and exits the lymph node via efferent lymphatic vessels. There are more afferent lymphatic vessels than there are efferent lymphatic vessels, slowing down the flow. The reason the slow flow is desirable is that it allows time for lymphocytes and macrophages to carry out their protective functions of removing debris from lymph.
What causes the movement of lymph through lymphatic vessels?
The movement of lymph through lymphatic vessels is caused mostly by movement, however lymph pressure also plays a part.
