|
definition of serous membrane
|
mesothelium on loose connective tissue. made up of simple squamous cells and contains blood/lymph capillaries
|
|
|
serous communication
|
does NOT communicate with outside world
|
|
|
divisions of serous membranes
|
visceral: intimately attached to body
parietal: lines inner walls |
|
|
serous cavity
|
18-20 microns
|
|
|
serous fluid
|
lubricant. continously produced (by interstilial fluid of connective tissue below epithelium - flows from high interstilial pressue to low serous pressue)/reabsorbed (direct anatomical connections called stoma between lymph capillaries and serous membrane)
|
|
|
stoma
|
8-10 microns. in parietal part of serous membrane. channels that account for rapid, continous flow of serous fluid out of serous cavity and into lymphatics
|
|
|
6 cavities in male
|
2 pleurae and cavity with lungs
serous pericardium and cavity pertoneoum and peritoneal cavity tunicae vaginalis and tunicae vaginalis cavity |
|
|
lymphatic vessels
|
begin as blind tubes and drain into: thoracic duct and right lymphatic duct. have low pressure and valves!
|
|
|
fluid dynamics
|
large molecular weight compounds in interstitial space cannot get into capillaries. so some fluid is retained with the large molecular weight (10%)
|
|
|
lymph nodes
|
reside along paths of vessels. filter foreign material and immune response.
|
|
|
anatomical organization of lymph nodes
|
regional groups with regional drainages
|
