Q

Specs of lymphatic capillaries

A

Greater permeability of them blood capillaries can absorb large molecules larger in diameter the blood capillaries have one way structure the permits interstitial fluid to flow in but not out

Q

Anchoring filaments

A

Attached to lymphatic capillaries there elastic and attach lymphatic endothelial cells to surrounding structures when excess interstitial fluid accumulates the tissue swells these anchoring filaments pool long fat capillaries and make opening between cells larger fluid then moves into lymphatic capillaries

16
Q

Lymphatic duct

A

Thoracic duct and right lymphatic duct. Lymphatic trucks lead to these ducks and these two ducks return lymph back to blood

17
Q

Boracic duct

A

A.k.a. left lymphatic duct about 15 to 18 inches long begins as a dilation known as the cisterna chyli anterior to second lumbar vertebrae main duct for returning lymph to the blood

18
Q

Thoracic duct received lymph from

A

Right and left lumbar trucks left jugular trunk left subclavian trunk left bronchomediastinal trunk. Receives live from left side of head from neck and chest upper limbs entire lower body than ribs. Return slip to the blood at the junction of the left internal jugular and left subclavian veins

19
Q

Right lymphatic duct

A

.5 inches long receives live from right jugular right subclavian right bronco mediastinal trunks upper right side of the body and drains and return slip back to blood at Junction of right internal and right subclavian vein

20
Q

Formation and flow

A

Blood plasma filter through capillaries to form interstitial fluid more fluid moves out and then back in (about 3 L a day of excess filtered fluid) interstitial space this exit fluid drains into lymphatic vessels and becomes lymph

21
Q

Important function of the vatic vessels

A

Return plasma proteins lost into the interstitial space back to the bloodstream

22
Q

Formation of lymph pathway

A

Capillaries interstitial space lymphatic capillaries lymphatic vessels lymphatic ducks junction of internal jugular and subclavian vein

23
Q

Lymphatic movement of fluid

A

Skeletal muscle pump and respiratory pump lymphatic vessels have valves like veins

24
Q

Primary lymphatic organs

A

Stem cells red bone marrow and thymus

25
Q

Secondary lymphatic organs

A

Lymph nodes spleen lymphatic nodules

26
Q

Thymus

A

Belobed organ in mediastinum located between sternum and aorta. Has connective tissue called trabeculae. penetrate inward and divide each lobe into lobules

27
Q

T cell production

A

Large number of T cells enter thymus cortex dendritic cells help with maturation. 2% of T cells survive to mature surviving T cells enter medulla

28
Q

Thymus medulla

A

Mature T cells epithelial cells dendritic cells macrophages. T cells leave dime us via blood and migrate to lymph nodes spleen and other lymphatic tissue

29
Q

Lymph node specs

A

Located along in Fattic vessels there is about 600 in the body they are superficial and deep and usually occurring groups 1 to 25 mm long covered by capsule dense connective tissue

30
Q

Flow-through lymph node

A

Enters effort lymphatic vessel penetrates convex surface of node at several points contains valve that open toward the center of the node live then enter sinuses

31
Q

Trabecular sinuses

A

Extend through cortex parallel to trabeculae

32
Q

Madullary sinuses

A

Extend through medulla and drain into one or two efferent lympatic vessels. wider and fewer in number then afferent vessels. contain valves open away from center of lymph node. come out of hilum along with blood

33
Q

Function of lymph nodes

A

Filter lymph. Foreign substances or truck by reticular fibers within the node. Macrophages destroy some and lymphocytes destroy others. With lots of afferent vessels and only a few efferent vessels travel time is slow

34
Q

Spleen

A

Oval-shaped and is the largest mass of lymphatic tissue in the body it’s 12 cm long below the ribs between the stomach and diaphragm

35
Q

Spleen impressions

A

Conforms to the concave surface of the diaphragm there is also gastric impression Renal impression and colic impression

36
Q

Hilum

A

Splenic artery splenic vein and Efferent lymphatic vessels

37
Q

White pulp

A

Lymphatic tissue full of lymphocytes and macrophages they are arranged around the branches of splenic artery (central arteries)

38
Q

Red pulp

A

Blood-filled venous sinuses cords of splenic tissue which consist of RBCs macrophages and lymphocytes and plasma cells and granulocytes veins are closely associated with Red pulp

39
Q

Functions of red pulp

A

Removal of worn out RBCs and platelets. storage of platelets. produce RBCs by hemopoiesis during fetal life

40
Q

Lymphatic nodules

A

Egg shaped masses of lymphatic tissue that are not surrounded by capsule. Scattered in G.I. tract urinary tract reproductive tract and respiratory airways. Sometimes occur in large aggregations what tonsils peyers patches(small intestine) and appendix
