A

THYMOSIN

33
Q

S and F of the LYMPH NODES

A

S - RETICULAR FIBERS

F - Filter LYMPH before it is returned to VENOUS circulation

34
Q

3 REGIONS where LYMPH NODES are particularly numerous

A
  1. CERVICAL REGION
  2. AXILLARY REGION
  3. INGUINAL REGION
35
Q

Why are LYMPH NODES a common site for cancer metastasis?

A

Because everything is filtered and passes through the LYMPH NODES, making it a very easy place to spread cancer to

36
Q

How does LYMPH CIRCULATE?

A

Through SKELETAL PUMPS

37
Q

What structures in LYMPH VESSELS prevent backflow?

A

One way VALVES

What REGIONS does the R. LYMPHATIC DUCT drain? Into which VEIN?
What REGIONS does the THORACIC DUCT drain? into which VEIN?

A

R. LYMPHATIC DUCT = R. CERVICAL REGION and R. arm, drains into the JUGULAR V.
THORACIC DUCT = Everywhere else, drains into the L. SUBCLAVIAN V.
