Question 3

milking of skeletal muscle is what pump

Answer 3

muscular pump

Question 4

what do valves do

Answer 4

prevent backflow

Question 5

Answer 5

lymph fluid

Question 6

what substances does lymph fluid contain (5)

Answer 6

1. plasma proteins
2. lipids
3. waste products
4. excess fluid
5. white blood cells

Question 7

what are plasma proteins

Answer 7

immunoglobins and other proteins involved in blood clotting and immunity

Question 8

lipids are absorbed from

Answer 8

absorbed from the digestive system

Question 9

what are waste products

Answer 9

dead cells, bacteria and other debris

Question 10

where is excess fluid from

Answer 10

tissues and interstitial space

Question 11

what do white blood cells help with

Answer 11

immunity

Question 12

the composition of lymph fluid varies due to what?

Answer 12

what part of the body it is coming from and the presence of any infections

Question 13

lymph nodes play important role in what?

Answer 13

filtering harmful substances and cleaning lymph fluid

Question 14

what are two ways the lymphatic system manages fluid balance?

Answer 14

1. draining interstitial fluid
2. transporting plasma proteins

Question 15

how does the lymphatic system drain the interstitial fludi

Answer 15

it collects the excess IF from the spaces between cells in tissues and returns it to the blood stream

Question 16

what are the two reasons the lymphatic system drains IF

Answer 16

1. to maintain and regulate BP by reducing the hydrostatic force for fluid dispersion to the cells
2. prevent swelling/ edema via maintains normal BV

Question 17

how does the lymphatic system transport plasma proteins

Answer 17

through lymph fluid that contains plasma proteins to prevent the buildup of these proteins in the tissues

Question 18

what does transporting of plasma proteins prevent

Answer 18

fluid from leaking back into the interstitial space

Question 19

the flow of lymph can be altered based on what two things

Answer 19

pressure and resistance

Question 20

flow= change in what

Answer 20

pressure/ resistance

Question 21

total peripheral resistance can occur from what?

Answer 21

interstitial fluids

Question 22

fluid dynamics with lymph fluid is based on the balance between what two factors?

Answer 22

hydrostatic pressure and osmotic pressure of the cardiovascular system

Question 23

what is hydrostatic pressure

Answer 23

force generated by pressure of fluid on capillary walls by the blood plasma or IF

Question 24

what is osmotic pressure

Answer 24

force exerted by the proteins in fluid

Question 25

push of forces is what

Answer 25

hydrostatic pressure

Question 26

pull of forces is what

Answer 26

osmotic pressure

Question 27

hydrostatic pressure of fluid is pressed into the interstitial space causing what?

Answer 27

greater pressure in arterioles than venules

Question 28

osmotic pressure of fluid into venules causes what

Answer 28

balance fluid and proteins

Question 29

what does balance of hydrostatic pressure and osmotic pressure create

Answer 29

filtrated CV fluid

Question 30

10% of volume excreted into space is absorbed by what?

Answer 30

lymphatic system

Question 31

the remainder of the CV fluid is reabsorbed into what?

Answer 31

venous system

Question 32

fluid is absorbed into lymph vessels as what increases

Answer 32

interstitial fluid

Question 33

lymphatic flow summary (4)

Answer 33

1. filtration 2. collection 3. filtration and cleaningn 4. return to bloodstream

Question 34

what is xs fluid that can cause pain and interfere with normal movement and function

Answer 34

swelling

Question 35

xs swelling caused by bloackage of hte lymphatic system is called

Answer 35

lymphedema

Question 36

lymphedema untreated can cause what?

Answer 36

infection, necrosis and other complications

Question 37

what does nerve and blodo vessel compression cause

Answer 37

increase in pressure which results in numbness and tingling

Question 38

when you have a respiratory issue what happens?

Answer 38

severe edema can cause fluid accumulation in the lungs and cause SOB, wheezing and increased fatigue

Question 39

when you have cardiac issues what is occuring?

Answer 39

edema can put strain on the heart, leading to heart failure, arrhythmias
