Lymph

Question 42

What is the importance of the lymphatic system

Answer 42

Without it your blood cannot be cleaned naturally. Because once you start transfusions it begins to mess things up

Question 43

Summarize the lymphatic system process. Reword it so we don’t all have the same answer

Answer 43

The lymph drains into open ended one-way lymph capillaries. Lymph moves slower than blood and flows through the lymph sinuses to be filtered. The walls of these capillaries have tiny openings that allows gas, water and chemicals to pass through and take away waste. Lymph leaving the node is cleaner in debris and richer in lymphocytes. Lymph vessels recycle the intestinal fluid and return it to the bloodstream. Macrophages, inside lymph nodes, destroy bacteria removing it from the bloodstream. At the T12 vertebrae, the cisterna chyli narrows and becomes the thoracic duct. Lymphatic vessels from all over the body drain into the thoracic duct. A valve in the thoracic duct keeps the blood from flowing back into the duct.
