Internal Fluids and Respiration Part 2 Flashcards
An extensive network of thin-walled vessels that arise as blind-ended lymph capillaries
Lymphatic system
This merges into larger vessels that drain in the neck region
Lymphatic vessels
Compare lymph and plasma
lymph has low concentration of protein
How does the large molecules (fats) absorbed from the gut reaches circulatory system
Lymphatic system
the intervals along the lymph vessels and have several defense-related functions.
Lymph nodes
What are the cells in lymph glands that remove foreign particles, especially bacteria
Macrophages
Where does lymphocytes develop ?
thymus gland and bone marrow
a type of white blood cell that is part of the immune system.
lymphocytes
Two types of lymphocytes
T cells and B cells
What are the two respiratory process
Cellular respiration
External respiration
It is the oxidative process that occur within the cell
cellular respiration
It is the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between organism and its environment
external respiration
Special oxygen-transporting blood protein
hemoglobin
