How many lymphatic ducts are there?
The lymphatic system consists of:Lymph - This is a clear, watery fluid which carries away particles such as bacteria and cell debris from the bloodstream so that they can then be destroyed by lymph nodes.Lymph Vessels - These are lymph capillaries and larger lymph vessels, both of which transport the lymph. The lymph vessels become larger as they join together and end up forming two large ducts called the thoracic duct and the right lyphatic duct which empty lymph into the subclavian veins.Lymph organs and tissues - These include lymph nodes which lymph drains through before returning to the venous circulation and their function is to filter the lymph of things like microbes and damaged tissue cells. The main organ of the lymphatic system is the spleen. The spleen has many functions including destroying old and abnormal red blood cells, storing blood and it helps in immune response to infection.

How does endocrine system relate to lymphatic system?
The Lymphatic System relates to the Skeletal System by way of direct inclusion of support cells for circulation through bone marrow. Both of the systems are dedicated to the circulation and production of lymphocytes through the lymph nodes throughout the Lymph System.
The circulatory system consists of a series of vessels called?
Blood vessels come in three types: arterial, capillary, venous; and a fourth is the unidirectional flow of the lymphatic fluid in the lymph vessels.
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.
Most of the lymph returns to the venous circulation by way of the?
Thoracic duct

What chronic condition in which venous circulation is inadequate due to partial vein blockage or leakage of venous valves?
Chronic Venous Insufficiency
Absorption at the arachnoid granulations returns CSF to the?
venous circulation
How is lymphatic circulation maintained?
Lymphocytes leave and enter lymph node via high endothelial venules. Lymph flow is slow so you have the muscular pump from skeletal muscles and the respiratory pump... similar to venous blood flow.
What serves as a storage pouch for lymph as it moves toward its entry into the venous system?
cisterna chyli
Why the circulation in man is double circulation where as in fish is single circulation?
blood circulation was first reported by william harveyin man there is a comlpete separation of venous blood and arterial blood
What is the function of the arachnoid villi?
it reabsorbs cerebrospinal fluid and returns it to the venous circulation
