What else can I help you with?
Why do lymph nodes sometimes become large and tender?
Because the tissue fluid cannot get back to the blood.
Where does lymph come from?
Lymph comes from the interstitial fluids spaces in blood where interstitial fluid is found. Lymph is composed mainly of white blood cells.
What is the fluid lost by blood called?
Lymph
Where does lymph fluid return to?
To the blood stream.
Is lymph composed of water that has escaped from cytosol?
Not exactly. Lymph is a clear fluid that contains white blood cells and comes from fluid leaked from blood vessels as well as fluid that bathes the body's cells. This fluid re-enters the bloodstream after being filtered through lymph nodes.
What fluid forms lymph?
Lymph is basically the same as the plasma from the blood. Lymph is formed when plasma leaks out of blood vessels into the interstitial space.
What is Difference between tissue fluid and lymph?
when lymph fluid is contained inside lymph vessels or lymph node(lymphatic system) it is called lymph whereas when it is squeezed out of cells b/w the cell membranes it is called tissue fluid
What is called when tissue fluid diffuses into the lymphatic capillaries?
the fluid is called lymph which isn't considered blood because it doesn't have haemoglobin, and isn't considered tissue fluid because it lacks certain substances... so they call it lymph and it gets mixed with blood in the end anyway...
Is lymph the blood that diffuses to your cells at capillaries?
No, lymph is not blood that diffuses to cells at capillaries. Instead, lymph is a clear fluid that originates from interstitial fluid, which is the fluid that surrounds cells after nutrients and oxygen are delivered by blood. Lymph is collected by lymphatic vessels and plays a key role in the immune system and fluid balance, while blood itself circulates through the cardiovascular system.
What is extracellular fluid AND where is it found?
Extracellular fluid is the fluid outside of cells. It is in the interstitial space, in the blood vessels and lymph vessels
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 is the fluid and particles absorbed into lymph capillaries?
blood
