The organs work together in a system of _______ tubes that carry lymph and _________ blood cells. Each organs has a role from __________ the lymph out of the tissues to transporting it so that it can be cleaned, and finally __________ lymph into the ____________

A

THIN
WHITE
DRAINING
RELEASED
BLOODSTREAM

37
Q

CWOS (connections with other systems)
- circulatory systems

A

• blood vessels
• lymph gets drained into the bloodstream

38
Q

CWOS
DIGESTIVE SYSTEM

A

• absorbs fat in intestines

39
Q

CWOS
RESPIRATORY

A

• lymph nodes and lymphatics are found in lungs

40
Q

CWOS
MUSCULOSKELETAL

A

• bone marrow
• drains lymph out of tissues
• prevents swelling in tissues

41
Q

what is LYMPHEDEMA (chronic)

A
  • swelling due to build up of lymph
  • happens in legs and arms
    The guild un lymph system carries fluid and cells to fight infections
42
Q

Causes of lymphedema

A
  • cancer treatment
    Cancer tumours block lymph system due to enlargement of size
  • surgery to remove tumour can also remove lymph nodes which causes fluid build up in tissue
  • radiation treatment damages lymph vessels
43
Q

Symptoms of lymphedema

A
  • swelling
  • infection
  • difficulty moving
44
Q

Treatment of lymphedema

A

Medications (antibiotics to reduce swell)
Exercise helps move lymph out of swollen parts
Manual lymph drainage (massage therapy to improve lymph flow)
Compression garments and bandages
- encourages drainage

45
Q

Gorham’s disease (chronic) - what is it and causes

A

Bone loss due to large lymphatic vessels
Chances bone formation

46
Q

3 Gorhams disease treatments?

A

Medications (antibiotics) - target lymphatic vessels that have grown abnormally
Surgery (bone implants, stabilize and remove affected bones)
Radiation therapy - treat pain and other symptoms, helps with fluid leakage

47
Q

WHAT IS PLE (protein-losing enteropathy)

A

When there is too much protein leaks into intestines
Examples are celiac disease and cardiac diseases

48
Q

What’s is the cause of PLE (chronic)?

A

Long lasting health conditions:
- lymphatic vessel issues
- heart disease (and it’s surgery)
- benign and malignant tumours
- gastrointestinal issues

49
Q

Symptoms of PLE

Swollen legs and arms
Fluid buildup
Troubles with digestion
Issues with weight gain
Troubles with fighting infections

50
Q

Treatment of PLE

A

Radiation - fix abnormal vessels
Surgery - removes growth
Diet changes - mainly helps for celiac disease
Medications (antibiotics) - helps lingering infections
