What else can I help you with?
What is the excess interstitial fluid drains from body tissues?
Lymph.
What is the pathway you would take from the lymph capillary in the right arm to the lymph node in the axilla?
The lymph capillary in the right arm channels excess fluid from plasma. This fluid flows in the direction of the lymph nodes in the axilla through larger lymphatic vessels where the fluid becomes lymph.
What tissues are important in assisting the cardiovascular system by collecting excess tissue fluid?
The lymph system, including lymph nodes and lymph vessels.
What does lymph node?
They don't produce anything. Lymph nodes take excess fluid out of your body, which are extracted from your lymph nodes and travel through your lymph vessels. Then, the body gets rid of this fluid. (you can just guess that part)

What system assists the cardiovascular system by collecting excess tissue fluid?
The lymphatic system removes excess fluid from tissues. The lymph system is a network of organs, lymph nodes, lymph ducts, and lymph vessels that make and move lymph from tissues to the bloodstream. The lymph system is a major part of the body's immune system.
What is the fluid derived from excess tissue fluid and similar to plasma?
The fluid derived from excess tissue fluid that is similar to plasma is known as lymph. Lymph is formed when interstitial fluid, which surrounds the cells in tissues, enters the lymphatic vessels. It contains proteins, lipids, and immune cells, making it an important component of the immune system and helping to transport excess fluid back to the bloodstream.
Excess tissue fluid which forms in a capillary bed is drained by?
Lymph from the lymphatic system
What is lymph fluid Also called?
Lymph fluid is also called lymph. It is a clear, pale yellow fluid that circulates through the lymphatic system, playing a crucial role in the immune system by transporting lymphocytes and removing waste products and excess fluids from tissues. Lymph is derived from interstitial fluid that bathes tissues and is collected by lymphatic vessels.
It collects extra fluid from the tissues?
The lymphatic system collects excess fluid, called lymph, from the tissues and returns it to the bloodstream. This helps maintain fluid balance in the body and plays a crucial role in the immune system by filtering lymph and trapping pathogens before they can spread.
What contained in the lymphatic vessels help prevent the backflow of fluid?
The presence of one-way valves within the lymphatic vessels helps prevent the backflow of fluid. These valves ensure that lymph flows in one direction towards the heart, assisting in the efficient removal of excess fluid and waste products from tissues.
Why does fluid leak though your skin if you have lymphedema?
In Lymphoedema, the lymph channels become blocked, possibly due to a tumour, or because surgery, burns or radiotherapy has caused damage. This means the lymph fluid cannot pass along the lymph vessel. Excess tissue fluid builds up and is unable to drain away through the lymph vessels as it normally would. This causes fluid to leak out from your skin.
