QuestionAnswer
What is Lymph? It is the clear, watery-appearing fluid found in the lymphatic vessels.
What is the function of lymphatic capillaries? The high degree of permeability of the lymphatic capillary wall permits very large molecules and even particulate matter, which cannot be absorbed into a blood capillary, to be removed from the interstitial spaces.
There is no muscular pumping organ connected with the lymphatic vessels to propel lymph, like the heart does to blood, so what makes lymph move in the right direction? Lymph moves through the system in the right direction because of the large number of valves that permit fluid flow only in the central direction.
Lymph nodes, or lymph glands are? Lymph noted are bean shaped structures that are biological filters placed in the channel of several afferent lymph vessels.
Mechanical filtration of lymph is when lymph nodes physically stop particles from progressing farther in the body.
Biological filtration of lymph is the use of biological processes such as phagocytosis to destroy particles.
What are the structures and organs of the lymphatic system? Lymphatic vessels, lymphatic capillaries, lymphatic ducts, lymph nodes, aggregated lymph nodes, thymus and spleen.
The upper respiratory tract is composed of the nose, nasopharynx, oropharynx, laryngopharynx, and larynx.
The lower respiratory tract consists of the trachea, all segments of the bronchial tree, and the lungs.
The respiratory system also includes several accessory structures, such as? the oral cavity, rib cage, and respiratory muscles including the diaphragm
