|
|
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
|
|

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
