A

left-sided heart failure

37
Q

What do skeletel muscles have to do with Venous flow?

A

they contract and milk the blood proximally back toward the heart

38
Q

Are veins more superficial or less superficial than arteries?

A

more superficial

39
Q

What two things propel the lymphatic system?

contraction of skeletal muscle

pressure changes with breathing

40
Q

What are the two main trunks (ducts) of the Lymphatic system?

A

Right Lymphatic duct

Thoracic duct

41
Q

What does the lymphatic system do?

A

retrieves escess fluid from tissue spaces (uses valves)

42
Q

List Three functions of the Lymphatic System

pitting edema scale.

what do they each mean…

1+

2+

3+

4+

A
