| what are lymph capillaries? | blind-ended endothelial tubes which collect fluid from tissue spaces |
| what are lymph vessels? | larger and thicker than capillaries, have valves to ensure one way flow of lymph through the vessel. transports fluid from capillaries to ducts. |
| what are ducts? | two large channels which receive fluid from the lymph vessels and empty inot the venous circulation |
| what is lymph? | the tissue fluid collected in lymphatic channels |
| what are lymph nodes? | oval or bean-shaped, grouped in clusters along connecting vessels, composed of organized lymphoid tissue. contain lymphocytes. |
| what do lymph nodes do? | filter toxic products from lymph to prevent entry into the blood system |
| what are regional nodes? | recieves lymph from definite region, 1st site at which pathologic processes manifest if they spread from their primary location via lymph vessels |
| what are central nodes? | receive lymph from primary nodes. can be primary for another region. |
| define hematoma | bruise that results when a blood vessel is injured and blood escapes and clots in surrounding tissue |
| define hemorrhage | large amounts of blood that escape into surrounding tissue without clotting when a blood vessel is injured |
| define embolus | foreign material such as thrombus traveling in the blood that can block the vessel |
| what is lemphadenopathy | an increase in size and change in consistency of lymphoid tissue |
| what are the first 4 components of the lyphatic ring of waldeyer and their location | 1. palatine tonsils - between palatoglossel & palatopharyngeal arches 2. lingual tonsils - dorsal surface tongue at base 3. pharyngeal tonsils - in nasopharynx between auditory tubes 4. tubal tonsil - nasophar. posterior to openings of aud. tubes |
| what is the 5th component of the lymphatic ring of waldeyer and its location | 5. solitary lymph follicles - masses of lymph tissue sometimes on arches, pillars, pharyngeal mucosa |
| define mestastasis | spread of cancer from original site (primary toanother or secondary site. can spread into and through lymph nodes |
| what is the function of the lymph system? | return fluid from tissue spaces into venous blood supply. removes toxics from blood. |
