Lymphatic system and back region
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| The composition of lymph most closely resembles | Interstitial fluid or tissue fluid |
| What are the functions of the lymphatic system? | The lymphatic system has the following major functions: i. drains excess interstitial fluid ii. transports dietary lipids iii. carries out immune responses against specific microbes and abnormal cells |
| How do lymphatic vessels travel in the skin and in the visera? | Lymphatic vessels travel close to veins in the skin’s subcutaneous tissue; in the viscera, they travel close to arteries, forming plexuses (networks) around them. |
| Where are lymphatic capillaries located? What regions/organs do not have those capillaries? | Lymphatic capillaries: i.are located throughout the body except in: a. avascular tissues b. central nervous system c. portions of the spleen d. red bone marrow |

| Where does it deliver lymph to? | the thoracic duct delivers lymph to the junction of the left internal jugular and subclavian veins |
| How much does it drain of body lymph? | c.receives lymph from the left side of the head, neck, and chest, the left upper limb, and the entire body below the ribs d.the cisterna chyli receives lymph from the right and left lumbar trunks and the intestinal trunk |
| How much does it drain of body lymph? | b.is the main collecting duct of the lymphatic system The excess filtered fluid— about 3 liters per day—drains into lymphatic vessels and becomes lymph. Each day, about 3 liters of this interstitial fluid drains into lymphatic capillaries. |
