Are lymphatic and lymph the same thing?

No, lymphatic refers to the system of vessels, organs, and nodes involved in the production and circulation of lymph. Lymph is a fluid that is carried by the lymphatic system, containing white blood cells and waste products.


What do you call the tubes through which the fluid flows in lympahtic system?

The tubes through which fluid flows in the lymphatic system are called lymphatic vessels. These vessels transport lymph, a clear fluid that contains immune cells, throughout the body. They also help maintain fluid balance by collecting excess interstitial fluid and returning it to the bloodstream.


What is the clear watery fluid that flows within the lymphatic system?

Lymph


When fluid bathes the cells it is called interstitial fluid when it flows through the lymphatic vessels it is called lymph?

Yes, interstitial fluid is the fluid that surrounds cells in the body's tissues, while lymph is the fluid that circulates through the lymphatic system. Lymph is derived from interstitial fluid that has entered the lymphatic vessels and is rich in immune cells and protein, playing a crucial role in immune response and fluid balance in the body.

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.

Current.


What happens to the lymph after it travels through the lymphatic system?

After it travels through the lymphatic system, the lymph nodes filter lymph, trapping bacteria and other disease-causing microorganisms in the fluid.Lymphatic vessels open into veins and the fluid re-enters the bloodstream.As lymph flows through the lymphatic system, it passes through small knobs of tissue called lymph nodes. Lymph nodes filter the lymph, trapping bacteria and other microorganisms that cause disease. When the body is fighting an infection, the lymph nodes enlarge. If you've ever had "swollen glands" when you've been sick, you've actually had swollen lymph nodes.


What direction from the groin does lymph flow?

Lymph from the groin primarily flows upward toward the abdomen and chest. It moves through the inguinal lymph nodes and then drains into the larger lymphatic vessels, eventually reaching the thoracic duct or right lymphatic duct, depending on the side of the body. This upward flow is part of the body's lymphatic system, which helps in immune function and fluid balance.


How does the lymph get into the lymph vessels?

Lymph is a fluid. It flows through the lymphatic vessels by one way valves which allows lymph move way through lymphatic system. Subclavian suction, and skeletal muscle pumps help to propel the lymph through the lymphatic vessels.


Where do the lymphatic drain to?

Into the large neck veins of the cardiovascular system.
