What are peyers patches and where are they found?
The Peyer's pathces are lymph nodes in the small intestine. They help fight pathogens.
Which term describes swelling due to an abnormal accumulation of lymph within the tissues?
oedema
Functions of lymph?
A clear, watery, sometimes faintly yellowish fluid derived from body tissues that contains white blood cells and circulates throughout the lymphatic system, returning to the venous bloodstream through the thoracic duct. Lymph acts to remove bacteria and certain proteins from the tissues, transport fat from the small intestine, and supply mature lymphocytes to the blood.
What organs can suffer complications from measles?
Inflammation of the liver, appendix, intestine, or lymph nodes within the abdomen may cause other complications.
What is a group of lymph nodes in the small intestine?
Pancreaticoduodenal lymph nodes. Regards Time is imaginary
What is Found within lymphatic vessels and surrounding tissues throughout the body?
Lymphatic vessels contain lymph, a fluid that circulates throughout the body to maintain fluid balance, transport waste, and support immune function. The lymphatic vessels are also surrounded by lymphoid tissues, such as lymph nodes, which house immune cells that help in fighting infections and regulating immune responses.
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 group of lymph nodes in the small intestine?
The group of lymph nodes in the small intestine is called the mesenteric lymph nodes. They are located in the mesentery, the tissue that attaches the small intestine to the back of the abdominal wall. Mesenteric lymph nodes play a crucial role in immune responses and help filter and trap pathogens and other harmful substances in the lymphatic system.
Digested fats are absorbed from the intestine by the lymph capillaries?
Lacteals are the specialized lymphatic capillaries of the small intestine which transfer fats from the digetive system into the blood. Chyle (pronounced Kyle) is milky fluid found in the lacteals formed by fat globules and lymph.
What kind of connective tissue is found within lymph nodes?
the chickenhead system
What tissues are important in assisting the cardiovascular system by collecting excess tissue fluid?
The lymph system, including lymph nodes and lymph vessels.
Lymph transports fat molecules with longer chains of carbon atoms away from the intestine?
Lymph transports dietary fats known as chylomicrons away from the intestine to other tissues in the body. Chylomicrons contain long-chain fatty acids and are too large to enter the bloodstream directly, so they are absorbed into the lymphatic system before eventually entering the bloodstream through the thoracic duct.
