how much fluid drains into the interstitial fluid faily? how uch is drained to lymphatics and how much to bllood?
30L
90% bleed, 10% lymph
what can happen to healing when lymph is blocked? why?
it can slow or cause adhesions or fibrosis because the immune mediators and cells are lingering there and prolonging inflammation
where is the lymph system absent
CNS, bone marrow, cartilage, lens, placenta, epidermis, and inner large blood vessels
7 steps of where the lymph goes and drains
where exactly does lymph drain in the veins?
in the corner between the internal jugular and the subclavian
how are the initial lymphatics arranged cellularly?

two things present in arterioles that the lymphatics don't hae?
overlapping one cell layers to prevent backflow

no tight junctions or SM
what are anchoring filaments and what are they good for?
anchor the initial lymphatics to the tissue to prevent collapse when lymph is empty
anchor the initial lymphatics to the tissue to prevent collapse when lymph is empty
what are some features of the collecting lymph vesse;ls? 2 describe each
valves- bicuspid
smooth muscle- progressively thicker
what are the prenodal and post nodal vessels?
the collecting vessels before and after the lymph nodes
what happens to aid drainage in the lymph npodes? name the exact site?
hydrostatic water movement from sinusoids of lymph nodes to the veins
What is the 2 main functions of the lymph nodes?
filtratioon and generation of antigens to foreign substances
wwhere do the efferent lymphatic vessels like to head towards?
the follow the fascial planes toward the midline up to the cervico-thoracic junction (where the jugular meets the subclavian)
why are the lymphatics so vulnerable to backing up?
since they run in the fascia and those are also vulnerable to tightness
what are the two main dranage ducts called?
right lymphatic
left thoracic
what parts of the body does the right lymphatic duct drain?
right half of head and neck, arm, lung, breast, and thorax (all RUQ of head/thorax)

also the heart
what happens to the interstitium with failure of the lymphatics?
it swells with water, metabolic waste, and proteins that get backed up there
what is the formation phase?
when extracellular fluid moves into the lymph capillaries
what kind of gradient exists between the lymph capillaies and the interstitium? Why?
it is uphill going from the interstitium to the lymph because you are usually draining upwards
what kinds of things will help lymph flow against this upward stack of fluid? 3
skeeletal muscle contraction, tissue compression (pump/compression stockings), and arterial pulse
What is the vascular phase?
when the lymph moves through the vessels
what is the role of the SM in the vessels?
they have intrinsic perotalsis to help move the fluid forward
what regular movememtns of ours helps with the vascular phase?4
skeletal muscle movement, arterial pulse, visceral motions like peritalsis, respiration
what innervates the lymphatics? what other technique does this match up with?
sympathetics- chapman;s
what kind of stuff should you say when performing a technique in the practical?
some indications and counterindications and explain it in general (they will not prompt you)
where is sibson's fascia?
the thoracic inlet area
where do you want to start opening up lymph channels from?
from central (thracic inlet then diaphragm) to outward and peripheral
What is the terminal stage?
when the lymph coleccts into the regional collecting sites
should you push on a swollen lmph node? why>
no because it is swollen for a reason- there is no where to for it to drain
how do ou do disphragmatic doming?
put thumbs into the diaphragm from the costal margin.
dig thumb up with exhale
resisst diaphragm with inhale
how do you dx with popliteal fossa?
tx?
put fingers on medial and lateral of the popliteal fossa
motion test up down, and sisde to side to find restriction

treat toward restricition
how do you do thoracic pump? how many pumps?
put hands on upper chest with thumb around neck. push down on exhalation and resist with inhalation
3-5 times
how do you do pedal pump? for how long?
push on their toes flexed for a couple minutes (but like 030 seccs for lab)
How do you do effleurage?
raise the leg up
work from proximal to distal with both hands pushing deep and in a wringing motion like you are pushing lymph up.
where is sibson' fascia?
above the calvicle on either side there the thoracic/lymphatic ducxt goes in
where is the superior thoracic inlet?
around the sternum
What does the Zinc model say? what is it?
the respiratory-circulatory model
35-60% of thoracic duct flow is produced by respiration
what happens to the throacic diaphragm when it gets tight?

breathing and lymph consequence?
it will flatten- harder to create pressure gradients to breath and will kink off lymph vessels going to the thorax
what two muscles go through the diaphragm here?
what two muscles go through the diaphragm here?
psoas and uadratus lumborum
main mechanism by which respiration help lymph flow?
pressure differences
what is the goal of lymphatic treatment?
remove the key tissue stresses interfereing with flow of body fluids
what is reciprical inhibition?
when you contract the anatagonist to relax a muscle reciprically just by reflex
what is the order of regions you should treat if the obstruction is in the feet?
thoracic inlet
diaphragm
pelvic floor
popliteal fossa
6 ways you can open up channels?
what are the two main things you are doing in order to release lymph?
1. open up channels
2. move the lymph
What 4 techniques will help to open up the channels?
1. thoracic inlet/outlet steering wheel
2. pectoral traction
3. doming of diaphragm
4. popliteal fossa release
What 4 techniques will help to pump the lymph?
1. miller thoracic pumps
2. pedal pump
3. rib raising
4. effleurage/petrissage
what fascia is involved in the sterring wheel release?
sibson's fascia
how many times does the thoracic duct pass through the sibson's fascia before dumping into the veins?
twice
where does the respiratory diaphragm attach to bones?
L1-3
transverse process of T12-L1
12th rib
what muscles is the diaphragm associated with?
quadratus lumbortum, psoa, and transversus abdominus
follow the path of fluid from inhalation and exhalation from the abdomen to the brachiocephalic vein.
inhale- pulls fluid into chest from abdomen
exhalae- fluid pulled into the neck
inhale- fluid pulled into brachiocephaic vein
what is the freq of a lyphatic pump?
2/sec
what is another name for the thoracic pump?
the miller thoracic pump
2 types of miller thoracic pumps?
the normal one and the exaggerated respiration one
how do ou do the exaggerated respiration version?
have hands on pt
have them take 3 quick breaths while resisiting them
but on the last breath, you let go so the chest expands really quickly
what is 1 counter indication to the miller thoracic pump and why?
COPD because you can pop blebs this way.
difference between effleurage and petrissage?
petrissage is deeper
what is the point of rib raising?
to stimulate the sympathetic innervation to the lymphatics
