By arterial pressure. The pressure from the arteries pushes plasma fluid out of the arteriole into the surrounding tissues. As the vessel continues on in becomes more venous-like, hydrostatic pressures reduce and thus plasma flows back into the vessel at the venous end. Some plasma however enters the 'dead end' lymphatics which lie in the surrounding tissues. They have an overlapping endothelial system which allows liquid in when the pressure increases in systole, but prevents liquid from flowing outwards by the valvular/endothelial inter-locking system.

Trace the sequence of fluid flow through blood vessel to blood vessel by way of the lymphatic system?

The sequence of fluid flow is blood capillaries.... interstitial space or interstitial fluid..... lymphatic capillaries.... lymphatic vessels.... lymphatic ducts..... junction of the internal jugular and subclavian veins. Then what helps this whole sequence is the skeletal muscle pump and the respiratory pump.

How do lymphatic capillaries differ from capillaries?

lymphatic capillaries are very permeable Lymphatic capillaries have valves that keep fluid from flowing backward. The blood capillaries are regulated by smooth muscle. Lymphatic capillaries are also a but larger than blood capillaries.


What is the path of lymph from the interstitial spaces to the blood capillaries?

from interstitial spaces towards the heart through lymphatic capillaries to lympahtic vessels then to lymphatic nodes then to the right lymphatic duct once in the venous blood, the lymph is then recycled through the body through the circulatory system


What is the function of lymphatic capillaries?

The capillaries are the starting point of the one-way lymphatic system. Lymph capillaries originate in tissues and drain any excess tissue fluid that has not been reabsorbed into the bloodstream and move it into lymph veins. This prevents swelling or edema (collection of fluid in the tissues).
