Question	Answer
Function of Lymph	Fluid filtered by nodes collected by ducts before entering the R + L Subclavian veins and returning to blood system
Function of Lymph Capillaries	Work with blood to collect excess fluid, eventually to unite to form lymph vessels
How many layers do the lymph vessels have	3, Outer fibrous tissue, mid layer elastic and muscular tissue inner endothelial cells
Relationship lymph and muscle systems	Drains away Lactic Acid
Function of the thoracic duct	Drain lymph from left side of head, neck and lower limb on left side
Right lymph duct empties into	Right subclavian vein
Lymph vessels open onto	Lymph nodes
Middle layer of lymph vessel is made up of	Muscular and elastic tissue
Structure of lymph capillaries	Blind ended permanable tubes composed of a single layer of endothelial tissue
Structure of lymph vessels	Thin walled collapsable vessels carrying lymph
Trabecular are located	Spleen and lymph nodes
Structure of the spleen	Outer capsule of fibrous tissue extending fibrous strands called trabeculae
Trabeculae are	Blind ended - filters lymph
Afferent vessels transport lymph	To nodes
Outer layer lymphatic vessels consists of	Fibrous tissue
Middle Layer lymphatic vessesl consists of	Muscular and elastic tissue
Inner layer lymphatic vessel consists of	Endothelial cells
What does lymph not contain	Erythrocytes
Where are the semi Lunar valves located	Lymph vessels
Where is the spleen positioned	Upper LHS of abdomen
What are lymph nodes made up of	Lymphatic tissue
What does spleen destroy	Thrombocytes and erythrocytes
Function of lymph vessels	Transport lymph towards heart
Lymphatic tissue contains	Phagocytes
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 is the lyphathtic systems largest organ	Spleen
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
What is Hodgkins disease	Cancer of the lymphatic tissue (Lymphoma)
What is lymphodema	Blockage of the Lymph nodes
Where is the cystern chili positioned	Starts at the root of the neck and end where the thoracic duct ends
What 2 things filter lymph	The spleen and lymph nodes
What is not a function of the spleen	Forms new Leucocytes
Where are lymphocytes and antibodies contained in the lymph node	Cortex
Where is the secondary filtering system in the lymph nodes	Medulla (Middle of node)
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
Phagocytes are contained in lymphatic tissue what is there function	White blood cells that engulf and destroy harmful (pathogenic) waste and bacteria
Lyphmocytes are contained in lymphatic tissue what is there function	White blood cells that produce antibodies
Where are the submandibular nodes located	Lower jaw
Where are the submental nodes located	Chin
Where are the suproclavicular nodes located	Neck
Where are the deep cervical nodes located	Top of spine
Where are the occipital nodes located	Base of skull
What cells determine the specific immune response to infections	Lymphocytes
What other system is the lymphatic system secondary to	Blood system
How does massage support the massage system	Assits in removal of waste, boosts immumity, reduces cellulite, reduces swelling
What is the main function of the spleen	The phagocytosis destroy worn out thrombocytes and erythrocytes
What organ acts as a blood reservoir	Spleen
What is one function of the lymph node	Remove and destroy large protein molecules and toxic substances
What is a function of the lymph node	To produce new lymphocytes and antibodies and add them to lymph as necessary
What becomes activated to form antibodies against a particular infection	Lymphatic tissue cells within the node
Interrealtionship between lymphatic and circulatory system	Transports excess waste and toxins
Interrealtionship between lymphatic and digestive system	Helps with the absorbtion of fats during digestion then transported around body and used as energy
Interrealtionship between lymphatic and Muscular system	Lactic acid is drained away in the lymphatic system
One of the functions of the spleen	Forms new lymphocytes
Where do cells divide to form new lymphocytes	Lymphatic tissue
In the lymph node what are inward strands of fibrous tissue called	Trabeculae
An afferent vessels transports lymph	To the node
An efferent vessel transports lymph	Back to the system
What sort of tissue is lymphatic tissue	Connective tissue
What is one function of the lymph	Adds lymphocytes to blood
How is lymph circulated	A combination of skeletal muscle contraction and valves
What is the function of lymph nodes	Filter lymph and produce new lymphocytes
