Lymphatic System 1

        Help!  

Question
Answer

🗑
All lymph nodes pass into   Lymph ducts  
🗑
What is interstitial Fluid   Fluid outside capillaries that carries leucocytes and the passengers (o2, food + water) and collect CO2 + other wastes  
🗑
Difference between blood capillaries and lymph capillaries are   Lymph capillaries have larger pores and lower pressure  
🗑

🗑
What are Peyer Patches   Lymphoid nodules on the outside of the small intestine  
🗑
What is the function of the Peyer Patches   To destroy bacteria and stops from entering thru the walls of the intestines, absorbs fat cells and moves it into the digestive system  
🗑

🗑
How long is the right lymphatic duct   1.5 cm long  
🗑
How long is the Thoracic duct   40 cm long(largest lymph vessel)  
🗑
What is the function of the Left lymphatic duct   Receives all the drained lymph from the right side of head chest neck and from the right arm  
🗑
What is the function of the Thoracic duct   Collects lymph from the left side of head neck and both lower limbs, left side of trunk and left arm  
🗑
What other areas of body contain lymphatic tissue   Tonsils, spleen, thymus, appendix, peyer patches  
🗑
Function of the lymphatic system   To transport waste blood cannot carry away from tissues add extra leucocytes and lymphocytes to blood  
🗑
Where do the ducts empty into   Subclavian veins  
🗑
What is the function of the lymphatic capillaries   To carry excess fluid away from tissue space  
🗑
What is the structure of the lymphatic vessels   Thin walled collasible vessels similar to veins but carry lymph  
🗑
Name the valve inside the lymphatic vessels   Semi Lunar  
🗑
What is the function of the semi lunar valves   To keep lymph moving centripetally (direction of the heart)and to prevent back flow  
🗑
Where else do lymph vessels pass thru apart from the lymph nodes   Subcutaneous tissue beneath the dermis
