What is Cysterna Chyli?
dilated saccule that marks beginning of the Thoracic Duct
Cysterna Chyli receives lymph from what?
Lower extremities
Pelvis
Abdomen
Thoracic duct receives lymph from what?
Cysterna Chyli
Left head and neck
Left arm
Left lung
Right Lymph duct receives lymph from where?
Right head and neck
Right arm
Right upper thorax
Heart and Pericardium
What is the largest lymphatic vessel in the body?
Thoracic Duct
_____% of all plasma proteins that diffuse out of the vascular system are returned to the circulation via the lymph.
50%
How much fluid is taken up into the lymph ever
y day?
3 Liters fluid daily (10% of the total)
Lymph provides the first line of defense ______ the skin.
inside
What kind of lymph comes from the small intestine after eating a fatty meal?
Chyle
The ______ in the small intestine absorb long chain fats, chylomicrons, and cholesterol.
Lacteals in the villi
What is the normal interstitial pressure?
-6.3 mm Hg
An increase in the ________ pressure will cause flow towards the lymph capillaries.
interstitial pressure
What is the normal rate of flow for lymph?
120 ml/hr
What happens when the interstitial pressure is moer than 0.0 mmHg?
Lymph stops flowing into the capillaries b/c the lymph capillaries have collapsed. Results in LYMPHEDEMA.
Systemic HT has what effect on lymph?
increases arterial capillary P, leading to increased interstitial pressure, and then to lymph capillary
Cirrhosis of the liver causes plastma protein synthesis to decrease. what effect is there on lymph?
decreased plasma colloid osmotic pressure, flow into interstitial. increases intertial pressure, flow into lymph cap.
What is an example of plasma hypoalbuminea with starvation?
Increased interstitial fluid protein
what happens when a section of lymph duct distends?
it's smooth muscle contracts, and propells the lymph into the next segment of the vessel
How does Capillary Peristalsis happen?
via Endothelial cells contractile myoendothelial fibrils. creates a slight degree of suction
Lymphatic vessels have an intrinsic rate of ___________seconds per cycle.
6-8 seconds per cycle
What is the rate of lymph per minute?
7.5 to 10 cycles per min.
What problems do paraplegics have with lymph?
develop peripheral edema due to the lack of muscle contraction and thus have no muscle pump to help move lymph along
What is the "lymph heart"?
Diaphragm
Contraction of the Diaphragmatic Crura exert a pumping action on ______________.
Cysterna Chyli
what muscle promotes negative pressures within the thoracic cavity and positive pressures in the abdomen?
diaphragm
what are 5 diaphragms in the body?
1) Tentorium Cerebelli and Diaphragma Sella
2) Sibson's Fascia
3) Respiratory Diaphragm
4) Pelvic Floor
5) Knees, arches of the foot?
What kind of somatic dysfunction could cause restriction of the respiratory diaphram?
L1-3, Ribs 6-12, Xiphisternal Joint, somatosomatic reflex of C3-5

1. acute osseous fracture b/c embolism
2. fever over 102
3. Early stages of cancer (metastic spread)
4. Kidney failure (cause CHF or pulmonary edema)
What is thought to decrease the deterioration of NK cell activity during radiation therapy?
Light pressure effleurage massage
What has a short term improvement on Natural Killer cell activity?
Light pressure effleurage massage
What is the lymphatic approach to oMM?
