Lymphatic Capillaries Random Lymphatic Vessels Lymphatic Trunks Lymphatic Ducts
100
Lymphatic capillaries to vessels, to trunks, then to the ducts.
The order in which lymph travels
100
10% of fluid that exits capillaries isn't absorbed by capillaries; it is termed lymph fluid once absorbed by lymphatic vessels.
When does interstitial fluid become lymph fluid?
100
They both have 3 tunics & valves
Why do lymphatic vessels resemble small veins?
100
Jugular trunks
Drain lymph from the head & neck
100
Thoracic duct
The largest lymphatic vessel
200
Lacteal
A type of capillary that transports dietary lipids, lipid soluble vitamins, & interstitial fluid
200
Venous circulation
Where does the lymphatic vessels return this excess fluid before blood returns to the heart?
200
Pooling in the vessel & help prevent lymph backflow.
Valves prevent lymph from
200
Subclavian trunk
Drains lymph from upper limbs, breasts, & superficial thoracic wall.
200
Cisterna chyli
Receives chyle from the small intestine
300
Cell margin pushes back to the adjacent endothelial cell & now fluid is trapped in the lymphatic capillary. Fluid cannot be released back into the interstitial space.
What occurs when pressure increases in a lymphatic capillary
300
body tissues would swell (edema). It would also accumulate outside the circulatory system causing blood volume to drop.
What would happens if the excess isn't absorbed?
300
Lymph nodes
Some lymphatic vessels connect directly to
300
Bronchomediastinal trunks
Drains lymph from deep thoracic structures
300
Right lymphatic duct
Returns lymph into the junction of the right subclavian vein & the right internal jugular vein
400
A lymphatic capillary is larger, lacks a basement membrane, & has overlapping endothelial cells.
What is the difference between a blood capillary and a lymphatic capillary?
400
Lipids; chyle
The lymph from the GI tract has a milky color b/c of? What is it called?
400
Afferent lymphatic vessels
______ transport lymph to a lymph node where it is filtered for foreign or pathogenic antigens.
400
A single intestinal trunk
Drains lymph from most abdominal structures
400
Cisterna chyli
Left & right intestinal trunks drain into the
500
Lymph
combo of interstitial fluid, solutes, & sometimes foreign materials that enter the lymphatic vessels
500
Lymphatic vessels
Lymphatic capillaries merge to form
500
efferent lymphatic vessels
Once filtered, lymph exits lymph nodes via ______
500
Lumbar trunks
Drains lymph from the lower limbs, abdominopelvic wall, & pelvic organs.
500
From most regions of the left side of body, the junction of the left subclavian vein & left internal jugular vein
The thoracic duct receives lymph from & drains lymph to?
