The blood system is obviously continuous (from the heart through the arteries to the capillaries and back through the veins to the heart). This is why its called two way, it goes out then back again. When in the capillary beds much of the blood plasma is lost from the system into the intersticial space (the space between the cells). When this builds up it can create too much pressure for the cells. The job of the lymphatic system is to remove the excess fluid from these spaces. So the vessels of the lymphatic system carry the blood from its own capillary-bed-like regions to the Right Lymphatic Duct and the Thoracic Lymphatic Duct which replace the fluid lost from the blood into the left and right Subclacian Veins. This is why its called one way, it carries fluid only in the return direction. It should be noted that the main purpose of the lymphatic system is in fact in the immune system. But this is not related to the question so I have missed it out.
What else can I help you with?
The smallest vessels in the lymphatic system are what?
The smallest vessels in the lymphatic system are called lymphatic capillaries. These vessels are responsible for collecting excess fluid, proteins, and waste products from the tissues and returning them to the bloodstream.
What are the smallest of the lymphatic vessels?
A vessel that, unlike a blood vessel, carries fluid only away from tissues. This fluid is a pale, watery substance known as lymph.The smallest lymph vessels are the lymph capillaries, which begin in the tissue spaces as blind-ended sacs. Lymph capillaries are found in all regions of the body except the bone marrow, central nervous system, and tissues, such as the epidermis, that lack blood vessels. They are especially numerous in the loose connective tissues under the epithelium of the skin and mucous membranes.
Why is the human cardiovascular system consider closed?
Because if it wasn't you would have massive internal bleeding, be extremely cold and die within seconds, imagine your circulatory system is like central heating which is also a closed system ,what would happen to the water if it didn't go round and round? You would have very soggy floors and a cold house - same thing with your body :D
What system regulates body water?
I'm assuming you mean "What system controls the water in your body?" This is actually a combination of systems. The Digestive system contains the mouth which takes the water in, and the Large Intestine where most of your water absorption occurs. The water is then moved into the blood stream (part of the Cardiovascular system) and the lymphatic vessels (part of the Lymphatic system) as plasma and lymph (respectively, these are the same fluid, just in diffeent locations, and are a mixture of water and protein). As the Cardiovascular system moves the plasma throughout the body it enters into the kidneys. The kidneys (Part of the Genitourinary system) filter the blood, removing excess water and any waste, converting it into urine. Initially too much water is removed and some of it needs to be reabsorbed. To regulate this the Pituitary gland (part of the Endocrine system, although being located in the brain- which is part of the nervous system) releases a hormone known as Antidiuretic hormone, which will facilitate reabsorption of water in part of the kidneys (not getting into specific anatomy here), bringing it back into the blood stream. Of course you would not have consued the water in the firtp lace unless you felt thirsty. The feeling of thirst comes from the hypothalamus, a structure of the brain that (unlike the pituitary gland) is part of the Nervous system. Take your pick.
What causes secondary lymphangioma?
Secondary lymphangioma, also known as lymphatic malformation, typically arises from damage or obstruction of the lymphatic system due to injury, surgery, infection, or conditions such as cancer. This disruption leads to abnormal lymphatic vessel formation and can result in the accumulation of lymphatic fluid. Unlike primary lymphangiomas, which are congenital, secondary lymphangiomas develop as a response to these acquired factors. Treatment often focuses on managing symptoms and addressing the underlying cause.
What human body system interact to control water balance in the human body?

Circulatory system in which blood is contined in vessels?
The circulatory system in which blood is contained in vessels is known as a closed circulatory system. In this system, blood circulates through a network of arteries, veins, and capillaries, allowing for efficient transport of oxygen, nutrients, and waste products. Unlike an open circulatory system, where blood flows freely in body cavities, a closed system maintains distinct blood vessels that enhance control over blood flow and pressure. This type of circulatory system is found in vertebrates, including humans, as well as some invertebrates like annelids.
What make lymphatic fluid flow through the body?
The Lymphatic System has no "pump," unlike the cirulatory system which has a heart. Ou can however do various things like dry brushing the skin (upward motuon toward heart) and rebounding excercises. Edgar Cayce proves to be a founding father of Lymphatic remedies ranging from Saffron tea to injesting Bed bug juice. There are also therapies available that help stimulate the lymph such as scalar light therapy and hydrocolonics.
What is the funcation of the lympathic system?
The lymphatic system helps to maintain fluid balance by collecting excess fluid from tissues and returning it to the bloodstream. It also plays a crucial role in immune function by filtering and trapping pathogens, toxins, and other unwanted substances from the lymph fluid. Additionally, the lymphatic system absorbs and transports fats and fat-soluble vitamins from the digestive system to the bloodstream.
What other organ system does the nervous system work with?
Many if not all of the systems such as skeletal system, cardiovascular system, Muscular system, Endocrine system, urinary system, reproductive system, respiratory system, digestive system, Lymphatic system, and integumentary system.
What does it mean to have an open-circulatory system?
An open circulatory system is a type of circulatory system found in some invertebrates, where blood is pumped into an open body cavity called a hemocoel. The organs are bathed in this blood, and nutrients and waste are exchanged directly with the cells. Unlike closed circulatory systems, which have blood contained within vessels, open circulatory systems have a more limited ability to control the flow and direction of blood.
What are the disadvantages of anaerobic exercise?
Unlike aerobic exercise, this form of exercise does nothing to do with helping your blood pressure levels, cardiovascular endurance, or chaloric and triglyceride levels.
