What specialized fluid is formed in the tissue spaces and transported by way of the specialized lymphatic vessels to eventually reenter the circulatory system?

Lymph is the specialized fluid that is formed in the tissue spaces and transported by lymphatic vessels to reenter the circulatory system. The lymphatic system plays a crucial role in immune response, fluid balance, and lipid absorption.


Is there a spleen in the circulatory system?

Ok, I have no idea what you mean by that question. Technically, since blood flows to the spleen to keep it alive...then yes. But blood flows to every living cell in your body to keep it alive so...yeah. But is the spleen a part of the circulatory system? That is also a yes. It is part of the lymphatic system, not the cardiovascular system. The lymphatic system is a sub-system of the circulatory system that basically helps fight infection, recycle blood plasma, etc. Most people do not think of the lymphatic system as part of the circulatory system though (even though it is) and most use the words "circulatory" and "cardiovascular" interchangeably (even though they're not interchangeable). Seeing as the cardiovascular organs are the heart and blood vessels, if that is what you meant...then no it's not. Please be more specific with your questions.


What organ system transports fat absorbed from the intestine and returns fluid from tissue spaces?

The lymphatic system is responsible for transporting fat absorbed from the intestine (in the form of chylomicrons) and returning fluid from tissue spaces back into the bloodstream. This system helps maintain fluid balance in the body and plays a crucial role in immune function as well.


How many systems are there in the body?

Open circulatory system to lymphatics to closed circulatory system is to blood circulatory system?

The transition from an open circulatory system to a lymphatic system involves the movement of fluid and immune cells through vessels and lymph nodes. This ultimately connects to the closed circulatory system, responsible for transporting oxygen, nutrients, and waste products through the body. The closed circulatory system, also known as the blood circulatory system, uses the heart to pump blood through arteries, capillaries, and veins to maintain circulation.

How does the lymphatic system function with the digestive system?

It is easiest to think of the lymphatic system as being, in many ways, analogous to the circulatory system. Both are extensive networks of tubes that go virtually everywhere in the body. But where the circulatory system moves blood around the body, the lymphatic system moves a clear liquid known as lymphthroughout the body.
