Arteries are used to carry blood away from the heart and toward the tissues. Arterioles are smaller subdivisions of the arteries that carry blood into the capillaries. Capillaries are tiny thin-walled vessels, that allow for exchange between systems. As blood circulates through the capillaries in the tissues, water and dissolved substances are constantly being exchanged between the blood and interstitial fluids. There is always a slight excess of fluid and some proteins left behind in the tissues. This is where the Lymphatic system comes into the picture. The vessels are used as a second drainage pathway. The lymphatic capillaries pick up the excess fluid and protein left behind in the tissues. The capillaries then drain into larger vessels, which eventually return these materials back to the venous system near the heart.
Layman's terms: Arteries carry blood and Lymphatic system just carries lymph.
What else can I help you with?
Does a hog have arteries?
A hog's circulatory system is very similar to a human's. They have arteries, capillaries and veins. They also have a lymphatic system.
Are arteries in the circulatory system?
Yes, arteries are part of the circulatory system. Arteries carry blood away from the heart.
The heart and arteries are key structures in which system?
circulatory system
Organization of the cardiovascular system and heart?
Circulatory system and Cardiovascular system
What system does the heart arteries veins capillaries and blood belong?
The Circulatory System
Does a hog have arteries?
A hog's circulatory system is very similar to a human's. They have arteries, capillaries and veins. They also have a lymphatic system.
What two structures does the lymphatic system lack?
The lymphatic system lacks a central pump, such as the heart in the circulatory system, to move lymph fluid. It also lacks a closed system of vessels, as lymph can flow in either direction through the lymphatic vessels.
Are arteries in the circulatory system?
Yes, arteries are part of the circulatory system. Arteries carry blood away from the heart.
What are the body parts of the arteries?
The circulatory system
What is the function of the lymphatic system in the circulatory system?
yes it is
Does the lymphatic system supplement the circulatory system?
The heart, lungs, blood vessels make up the cardio vascular system.
Is the lymph part of the circulatory system?
@the lymphatic system is its own system but uses the circulatory pathways.
Which body system acts as insurance for the circulatory system?
The Lymphatic system acts as "insurance" for the circulatory system.
What is the circulatory system part of?
Cardiovascular & Lymphatic
Why is lymphatic system considered part of the circulatory system?
The fluids of the lymph system are carried into the circulatory system because they contain plasma proteins. The vessels of the lymphatic system provide a way for interstitial fluid to move through the circulatory system.
What is sometimes called the secondary circulatory system?
Lymphatic System
What system transmits interstitial fluid?
The Lymphatic Circulatory System
