Question
Answer
1. functions of the lymphatic system   fluid balance-excess interstitial fluid enters lymphatic capillaries & becomes lymph (30L from cap. into interstitial fluid, 27L return leaving 3L. fat absorption-absorption of fat and other substances from digestive tract via lacteals. fluid called chym  
🗑
continued...   defense-microorganisms and other foreign substances are filtered from lymph by lymph nodes from blood by spleen.  
🗑
2. lymphatic capillaries   more permeable than blood capillaries, epithelium functions as series of one-way valves, found in all parts of the body except the nervous system, bone marrow & tissues without blood vessels (cartilage, cornea, epidermis). join to form lymphatic vessels  
🗑
3. how back flow of lymph is prevented in lymphatic capillaries   valve closed  
🗑
4. structure and function of lymphatic vessels   have valves that ensure one way flow, carry lymph away from tissue  
🗑
5. structure and function of lymph nodes   prevent infection. superficial (near skin) and deep, organized into cortex and medulla with dense C.T capsule surrounding. trabeculae extend within. reticular fibers form supporting network, only structures to fliter lymph, afferent and efferent vessels,  
🗑
continued..   substances removed by phagocytes or stimulate lymphocytes to proliferate in germinal centers, cancer cells often migrate to lymph nodes are trapped there and proliferate. can move from lymphatic system to circ. system spreading cancer through body.  
🗑

🗑
40. parts of the resp. xone of the resp. tract   resp. zone: site for gas exchanged -resp. bronchioles branch from terminal bronchioles. resp. bronchioles have very few alveoli. give rise to alveolar ducts which have more alveoli.  
🗑
continued...   alveolar ducts end as alveolar sacs that have 2 or 3 alveoli at the terminus. -no cilia, but debris removed by macrophages then move into nearby lymphatics or into terminal bronchioles.  
🗑
41. function of the type 2 pneumocytes   round to cube-shaped secretory cells. produce surfactant.  
🗑
42. the differences between the two lungs   2 lungs: principal organs of resp. -base sits on diaphragm, apex at the top, hilus on medical surface where bronchi & blood vessels enter the lung. all the structures in hilus called root of the lung. -right lung:3 lobes. lobes seperated by fissures  
🗑

45. what causes movement in and out of the lungs?   ventilation  
🗑
47. what causes lung recoil   phone  
🗑
48. why there is a negative pressure in the pleural cavity at the end of expiration   neg pressure can cause alveoli to expand, alvoli expand when plureal pressure is low enough to overcome lung recoil, pneumothorax is an opening between plueral cavity and air that causes a loss of pleural pressure
