Q

what is the structure of the heart { tip from outside inward }

A

1 the heart is surrounded by a thin membrane called pericardium
2 the heart has two upper chamber called atria which have ear like projections called auricle and are sepparated by interatrial septum
3 and two lower chambers call ventricles that are separated by interventerical septum

Q

what happens in portal circulation in intestinal tract

A

blood from the stomach , spleen , pancreas and intestine don’t go directly to the heart but drain into the liver via a portal vien
the portal vein then branches into capillaries in the liver which then drain in the hepatic vein then into infrior vena cava the the right atrium

Q

what are capillaries

A

they are simple vascular endothelial network between venules and arterioloes

24
Q

why does capillaries have very thin walls

A

to allow / facilitate the exchange of co2 , o2 , nutrients and wastes between blood and tissue fluid

25
where are capillaries absent
cartilage cornea epidermis of the skin
26
another name for shunt vessel
arteriovenous anastomosis
27
what is arteriovenous anastomosis
direst communitation between **arteriole** and **venule** **PROXIMAL** to capillaries
28
sites of shunt vessel
intestine derms of the skin erictile tissue in sex organ tip of the tongue , nose , tips and euricle of the ear
29
what is the function of shunt intestine
to regulate the rate of absorption
30
function of shunt in erictile tissue
regulate erection
31
function of shunt in dermis of the skin
regulate body temp
32
what are blood sinusoids
wide tubular spaces lined incompletely with phagocytic cells
33
where are blood sinusoids found
liver spleen bone marrow
34
what systems is the lymphatic system part of
circulatory system immune system
35
what is lymph
a clear water like **extracellular** fluid
36
what is the function of lymph
1 drainage of extracellular tissue fluid into blood stream 2 removal of tissue debris and microorganisms
37
how is lymph formed
1 blood flow from arterioles to cappillaries fluid leaks from capillaries carrying o2 and nutrients 2 metabolism takes place usig o2 and nutrients and produces co2 and waste products whch diffuses back into the venus side of the capillaries 3 the remaining fluid in the extra spaces { extracellular fluid } is reabsorbed by lymph capillaries back to venous system
38
what is lacteal
lymph **capillaries** that recieve absorbed fat from the small intestine
39
what are lymph capillaries
a **network** of **fine** blind ended **capillaries**
40
lymphatics are absent in
cns teeth bone marrow cornea
41
what is lymph vessel
a group of lymph capillaries join together to form a thin walled vessel
42
what are lymph ducts
the lymph vessels unite to form lymphatic duct
43
what does the right lymphatic duct drain blood from and where does it end
from : right side of the neck right side of the head right side of thorax right upper limb end in : th ejunction between right subclavian vein and inter**nal** jagular vein
44
what does the thoracic duct drain blood from and where does it end
the rest of the body begin in the abdomen as cisterna cyli and ascends through thorax end in the junction between left sub clavian vein and internal jagular vein
45
what are lymph nodes
small oval bodies of lymphatic tissues along lymphatic vessels thrpugh which lymph is filter
46
what are the functions of lymphatic nodes
filterig stations formstion of lymphocytes formation of antibodies
