Lymphatic filariasis
causes swelling
lympha
clear, watery fluid
combined clear (limpidus) and nymph
why is lymph fluid clear
clear liquid pushed out of capillaries bc RBCs stay in
lympha in ovid
he sees a pool of clear water (lympha); a nymph dwells there
lymph vessels
lymph fluid drains INTO these vessels
lymph fluid drains into…
lymph vessels
3 functions of lymph vessels
lymph fluid drains here and
1. clears lymph
2. immunity
3. transport fat
lymph vessel function 1
clear lymph fluid into ducts and bloodstream
lymph vessels function 2
immunity: lymph nodes destroy bacterias
lymph vessels function 3
vessels near small intestine TRANSPORT FAT
lymph vessels called lacteals absorb chyle (milky fluid with digestive fat) and transport it to thoracic duct from which it enters bloodstream
lymphatic system
2 ducts (right ducts and thoracic duct)
lymph nodes
afferent and efferent vessels
lymphocytes
2 lymphatic ducts
right lymphatic duct
thoracic duct
return lymph fluid to blood thru veins
function of 2 lymphatic ducts
return lymph fluid to blood thru veins
lymph nodes
from nodus = knot
1. axillary armpit
surrounded by capsule which has trabeculae (from trabs “beam, timber”)
knot
nodus –> node
feature of lymph nodes
surrounded by capsule, which has trabeculae (from trabs, “beam, timber”)
afferent and efferent vessels
carry lymph in and out
lymphocytes
identify and destroy foreign particles and cancer cells during phagocytosis (cell eating)
