What else can I help you with?
Where does lymph fluid return to?
To the blood stream.
What is the lyphatic system?
A collection of organs and vessels that return lymph, extra fluid, to the blood stream.
What happens to lymph after it travels through the system?
It returns the fluid to the blood stream. It's a cycle.
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.
Is it true that about 3 liters of fluid are lost to the tissue spaces every 24 hours and are returned to the blood stream as lymph?
yes/ true
Where does lymph come from?
Lymph comes from the interstitial fluids spaces in blood where interstitial fluid is found. Lymph is composed mainly of white blood cells.
What is the fluid lost by blood called?
Lymph
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.
Is lymph composed of water that has escaped from cytosol?
Not exactly. Lymph is a clear fluid that contains white blood cells and comes from fluid leaked from blood vessels as well as fluid that bathes the body's cells. This fluid re-enters the bloodstream after being filtered through lymph nodes.
What fluid forms lymph?
Lymph is basically the same as the plasma from the blood. Lymph is formed when plasma leaks out of blood vessels into the interstitial space.
What is Difference between tissue fluid and lymph?
when lymph fluid is contained inside lymph vessels or lymph node(lymphatic system) it is called lymph whereas when it is squeezed out of cells b/w the cell membranes it is called tissue fluid
What is called when tissue fluid diffuses into the lymphatic capillaries?
the fluid is called lymph which isn't considered blood because it doesn't have haemoglobin, and isn't considered tissue fluid because it lacks certain substances... so they call it lymph and it gets mixed with blood in the end anyway...
