Q

Describe the need for the lymphatic system

24
Q

Describe the anatomical link between the lymphatic system and the capillaries

25
Describe how the initial lymphatics function
26
Describe how one might acquire the increase in interstitial fluid known as oedema.
27
Describe the primary roles of the venous system
28
Discuss the concept of venous return and why it's important to heart function
29
Describe the factors that affect venous return
30
Integrate ideas from the heart and the circulatory system to describe the determinants of mean arterial pressure
31
Describe how mean arterial pressure is sensed and identify the reflex response that would occur when stimulating these pressure sensors
32
Differentiate between primary and secondary hypertension
