Ch 23 Lec 1 - Lymphatic System Flashcards
lymphatic system produces, maintains, and distributes blank
lymphocytes
this is a network of vessels that aid in circulation of body fluids and is closely associated with the cardiovascular system
lymphatic system
lymphatic system maintains normal blank and blank fluid volume
blood, interstitial
lymphatic system is an alternate route for the transport of blank
materials
transport fluid of lymphatic vessels
lymph
four sizes of lymphatic vessels
small lymphatic capillaries, medium lymphatic vessels, large lymphatic trunks, lymphatic ducts
lymphatic blank are the end of the line for lymphatic system
ducts
lymphatic vessels are absent in blank and blank
cns, avascular tissue
lymph is a fluid blank
connective tissue
lymph only occurs in the blank vessels
lymphatic
lymph is derived from these three things
interstitial fluid, lymphocytes, macrophages
lymph originates from blank
plasma
water and dissolved materials leak out of capillaries due to blank and blank
diffusion, filtration
blank liters per day enters interstitial spaces
27
interstitial fluid lacks blank and has low blank
proteins, oxygen
interstitial fluid moves into the lymphatic capillaries and is now known as blank
lymph
blank percent of interstitial fluid is absorbed
90
blank from tissues will go into lymph
residue
lymphatic capillaries are blank ended tubes
closed
lymphatic capillaries are in blank
interstitial spaces
lymphatic capillaries have a blank diameter, blank walls, flat and blank than blood vessels
larger, thinner, irregular
lymphatic vessels are blank and permeable
fenestrated
these are formed by the merging of lymph capillaries and are similar to veins and merge to form trunks, and travel with arteries of same size
medium lymphatic vessels
four parts of medium lymphatic vessels
interna, media, adventitia, valves
these are named for the region they drain like lumbar, intestinal, broncomediastinal, subclavian, jugular
lymphatic trunks
lymphatic trunks drain into blank
ducts
there are blank lymphatic ducts
two
two lymphatic ducts
thoracic, right lymphatic
lymphatic ducts deliver lymph to blank circulation at blank
venous, subclavians
at lymphatic ducts, lymph is reintroduced to blank
bloodstream
lymph becomes a part of blank and is circulated after lymphatic ducts
plasma
lymphatic duct that drains lower body, left arm, head and neck
thoracic
thoracic duct route arises from blank
cisterna chyli
thoracic duct goes through the blank and ascends in front of the blank column
diaphragm, vertebral
thoracic duct empties into blank
left subclavian vein
lymphatic duct that drains right side of head and neck and right arm
right lymphatic duct
lymphatic ducts unevenly blank fluid from body
drain
