Exam 2 Prep Flashcards
List the 4 major components of the lymphatic system
Lymph, lymphatic vessels, lymphatic tissues, and lymphatic organs
Give three functions of the lymphatic system
Returns 15% back to circulation, immunity, and absorbs lipids
During capillary exchange ____ is a movement of fluid, nutrients, hormones, minerals, vitamins, and gases from the blood in capillaries into the tissue, while ____ is the movement of fluid with wastes from the tissue back into the blood in the capillaries
During capillary exchange, FILTRATION (ARTERIOLE END) is a movement of fluid, nutrients, hormones, minerals, vitamins, and gases from the blood in capillaries into the tissue, while REABSORPTION (AT VENULE END) is the movement of fluid with wastes from the tissue back into the blood in the capillaries
Two forces determine whether filtration or reabsorption will occur at a given location along the length of the capillary. The force at the arterial end of the capillary that causes filtration is called ______ while the force at the venule end that causes reabsorption is called ________ which is due to the presence of a plasma protein in capillary blood called _____
Two forces determine whehter filtration or reabsorption will occur at a given location along the length of the capillary. The force at the arterial end of the capillary that causes filtration is called BHP BLOOD HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE while the force at the venule end that causes reabsorption is called COP CAPILLARY OSMOTIC PRESSURE which is due to the presence of a plasma protein in capillary blood called ALBUMIN
Define edema
excess tissue fluid
There can be problems in capillary exchange. List the 4 causes of edema during capillary exchange:
BP too high (BHP)
COP too low (Deficiency in albumin)
Lymphatic Blockage
Trauma (burns that increase capillary permeability)
List 4 structures or organs without lymphatic capillaries
Red bone marrow
Bone
Cartilage
Cornea
The fluid that surrounds cells in tissues is called ____
The fluid that surrounds cells in tissues is called TISSUE FLUID OR INTERSTITIAL FLUID
Interstitial fluid or tissue fluid that enters lyymph vessels is called ____
Intersticial fluid or tissue fluid that enters lymph vessels is called LYMPH
Specialized capillaries locaed in the villi in small intestines are called ____ and their function is to _____
Specialized capillaries located in the villi in small intestines are called LACTEALS and their function is to REABSORB AND TRANSPORT FAT (LYMPH IS NOW CALLED CHYLE)
Lymphatic vessels similar to veins but with many more valves
Collecting valves
Microscopic lymphatic vessels, collect lymph and transport it
Lymphatic capillaries
Paired lymphatic vessels except one, formed from merged collecting vessels
Lymphatic trunks
Blunt ended, attached to tissues by filaments
Lymphatic capillaries
Begins as a sac inthe abdominal cavity, longst one
Thoracic duct
Formed from merged lymphatic capillaries
Collecting vessels
Contains only tunica intima with endothelial cells that overlap and form minivalves
Lyphatic capillaries
Collects lymph from the left side of the head, trunk, neck, and below abdomen
Thoracic ducts
Lymphatic vessels after trunks
Collecting ducts
Very permeeable that it even collects chemical, cells form tissue
Lymphatic capillaries
Empties into the junction of the left subclavian vein and internal jugular vein
Thoracic duct
empties into the junction of the right subclavian vein and internal jugular vein
Right lymphatic duct
List the four categories of lymphatic vessels that lymph passes through from the time it is first formed until it returns to the main circulation
lymphatic capillaries -> collecting vessels -> lymphatic trunks -> collecting ducts
Interstitial fluid , that leaks from true capillaries is captured by _____ for its return to the main circulation. These lymphatic vessls are composed of loosely overlapping ______ cells that act as ______. ______ Found in the intestinal villi absorb and collect _______ (chyle - white)
Lymphatic capillaries
Simple squamous (endothelial)
Minivalves
Lacteal
Fat (lipids)
Lymph is transported into lymphatic vessels in the similar manner to the way blood is transported by veins. Due to even lower pressure of lymph, list 8 of these mechanisms
- Flow is aided by skeletal muscle pump.
- Thoracic pump aids flow from abdominal thoracic cavity
- Valves prevent backflow
- Arterial pulsation from near arteries rhythmically squeezes lymph vessels
- Rhythmic contractions of lymphatic vessles and stimulate to contract when vessels are stretched
- Rapidly flowing blood in subclavian veins draws lymph into it
- Exercise significantly increases lymphatic return
There are ____ lymph nodes scattered throughout the body of a young adult. Lymph nodes have two basic functions: ______and ______
450
Cleanse lymph and act as site of B and T cell activation
Outer region; with densley packed collections of lymphocytes called follicles and germinal centers
The outer cortex
Outermost layer composed of fibrous connective tissue
capsule
Area of lymph node where a vessel exits
the hilum
Area in lymph node where B lymphocyres multiply
germinal centers
Vessel that brings in “unfiltered” lymph to the lymph node
afferent lymphatic vessels
Vessel that exits from node
efferent lymphatic vessels
Th thoracic collecting duct begins as a sac in the abdominopelvic cavity called the
cisternae chyli
_____ are a kind of WBC that arise and mature in the bone marrow and then migrate to lymph nodes to concentrate and multiply. THey multiply in areas of lymph nodes called _____.»_space;»> are a kind of WBC that originate in the bone marrow and mature in the thymus where they ______ and ______ and wait to be released during an immune response
B lymphocytse
germinal centers
