Lymph

The lymphatics are the drainage system of the body. Blood carries nurients to the cells and the fluid that is "between" the individual cells drains into the lymphtic system. The lymph contains white-blood-cells (called lymphocytes), proteins and desolved ions.

Tissue fluid is returned to circulation through the what?

Tissue fluid is returned to circulation through the lymphatic system, where it is collected in lymph capillaries and transported back to the bloodstream through lymphatic vessels.


Formation of lymph?

Lymph is formed when interstitial fluid and proteins from the tissues enter lymphatic vessels through lymph capillaries. This fluid is then transported through lymphatic vessels and filtered through lymph nodes before ultimately re-entering the blood circulation through the thoracic duct or right lymphatic duct.


How are oxygen and nutrients passed to cells?

Oxygen and nutrients are passed to cells through the bloodstream. Oxygen is transported by red blood cells, while nutrients are carried in the plasma. Blood vessels deliver these substances to cells throughout the body, where they are taken up for cellular respiration and processes necessary for function and growth.


Waste leaves a cell and enters the blood by crossing into the capillaries?

Correct. Waste products, such as carbon dioxide and metabolic byproducts, diffuse from the cell into the surrounding interstitial fluid. From there, they can enter the capillaries, where they are then transported through the bloodstream to be eliminated from the body.


What fluid leaks out of capillaries?

go to the body cells, after that it returns to the capillaries, but the fluid that doesn't diffuses into the lymph vessels (when it goes into the lymphatic vessels it's called lymph) and goes back to the heart.


How do lymphatic vessels originate?

Lymphatic vessels originate as blind-ended capillaries in the tissue spaces. These capillaries merge to form larger vessels that eventually join the lymphatic ducts, which return lymph fluid back to the bloodstream.


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.


What happens to the food once enters the blood?

nutrients


Describe source of lymph and mechanism of lymph transport?

Lymph: fluid within lymphatic vessels 1. Made of water & dissolved substances (that had left blood capillaries by filtration and diffusion) 2.Includes small, dissolved proteins that had also leaked from capillaries Forces that propel lymph through lymphatic vessels: - skeletal muscle contractions - breathing movements - contraction of smooth muscle in walls of lymphatic trunks (movement similar to venous movement)


What do the lymphatic vessels lead to that filter the fluid being transported?

Lymph nodes.


Where does lymph originate from?

Lymph originates from the interstitial fluid that surrounds tissues and organs in the body. This fluid is collected by lymphatic vessels and transported through the lymphatic system, eventually forming lymph.


How is tissue fluid produced and drained?

Tissue fluid is produced by the filtration of blood through capillaries in the body. This filtered fluid contains oxygen, nutrients, and other essential substances that are important for cells. It is drained back into the circulation through lymphatic vessels, which help maintain fluid balance in the body and remove waste products.
