lymphatics lect/lab Flashcards
5 models of osteopathic patient care
- biomechanical-structural
- respiratory-circulatory
- metabolic-nutritional
- neurologic ANS-CNS-PNS
- behavioral-psychosocial
biomechanical-structural
assess patient for a structural impediment
respiratory-circulatory
respiratory & circulatory components of the homeostatic response
neurological
abberancies or impairments of neural function
metabolic-nutritional
balance between energy production, distribution, and expenditure
behavioral-biopsychosocial
assess mental, emotional, & spiritual state of being as well as personal lifestyle choices
role of lymphatic system
- to remove fluid, particulates, extravasated proteins from the interstitium
-maintain osmotic balance b/n extracellular, intracellular & intravascular fluids
tissues without a blood supply
cartilage
lens & cornea of the eye
epidermis
inner portion of walls of large BVs
terminal lymphatic vessels
-endothelial lined cul de sacs anchored into surrounding ECM by small anchoring filaments
-lack smooth muscle walls
path of lymph flow
- afferent/prenodal vessels
- efferent / postnodal vessels
- lymphatic trunks
- L thoracic duct or R lymphatic duct
what is not a factor that contributes to lymph flow?
a hydrostatic gradient from capillary bed to terminal lymphatics
LE drainage
LEs & abdominopelvic cavity –> cisterna chyli –> thoracic duct
- superficial = to proximal nodes at inguinal area
- deep = into popliteal space & exits b/n heads of hamstrings
UE drainage
- superficial = follows subQ routes to proximal nodes at the axilla
-deep = follows major neurovascular structures
deep cervical nodes
terminal pathway for all drainage of the head & neck
classic model of brain lymph drainage
from brain CSF acts as lymphatic fluid, is formed in choroid plexus & drained through arachnoid granulations
