What is the value of the lymphoid system collecting interstitial fluid and returning it to the blood?
The fluid is called lymphatic fluid. It is msotly water with electrolytes and white blood cells.
Where does lymph originally come from?
Lymph is basically the fluid that is between the cells of the body (interstitial fluid), and is basically the same as blood plasma. It initially leaks out of the arteries because the blood in the arteries are under higher hydrostatic pressure than the tissues on the outside of the arteries. As it collects in the tissues, it is sucked up by the lymph system and returned to circulation in the subclavian vein.
What do mesenteries store?
The mesenteries hold the small intestines (jejunum and ileum) attached to the back wall of the abdominal cavity. It also contains blood vessels, lymph vessels, nerves and some fat and water
Describe source of lymph and mechanism of lymph transport?
Lymph: fluid within lymphatic vessels 1. Made of water & dissolved substances (that had left blood capillaries by filtration and diffusion) 2.Includes small, dissolved proteins that had also leaked from capillaries Forces that propel lymph through lymphatic vessels: - skeletal muscle contractions - breathing movements - contraction of smooth muscle in walls of lymphatic trunks (movement similar to venous movement)
How does lymph return to the cardiovascular system?
When blood travels through the capillaries in the cardiovascular system, some fluids leak out and move into the lymphatic system. This system is a carrier of vein-like vessels delivering the fluids back to the bloodstream. Once inside of the lymphatic system, this fluid is called lymph. Glucose, water, and white blood cells are consistent in lymph. Lymph moves through the lymphatic system passing through knobs of tissue called lymph nodes. These lymph nodes filter bacteria and other disease-causing microorganisms. Lymph nodes enlarge when fighting off an infection.
Is lymph composed of water that has escaped from cytosol?
No - Lymph is made of water which has escaped from the blood
Does blood lymph and other bodily fluids consists of mostly water?
Blood, Lymph, and other bodily fluids do consist mostly of water. Around 60% to 65% of body water is contained within the cells of these fluids. The other 35% to 40% of body water is found in extracellular fluid.
What is the method by which water travels up the xylem vessels of a plant is called?
Capillarity
Why are some vessels called submersible?
It means that the vessel can go under water.
Why does dish soap make water and oil collide?
yes, Vessels carrying blood back to the heart are called veins, and the vessels carrying blood away from the heart to the body are called arteries.
Is water a component of lymph?
yes
What Vessels that carry water and dissolved substances from roots to other parts of the plant is called?
stomata
