What 4 specific items does the lymphatic system remove from the interstitial spaces?
|
Excess Fluid, Protein, Molecules, Debris
|
|
|
What helps pump any free fluid accumulating in the interstitial spaces at any time?
|
Tissue movements
|
|
|
Why is the Lymphatic System seen as an Accessory Route?
|
Because its a way in which fluid can flow from the interstitial spaces into the blood carrying proteins and large particles away from the tissue spaces, which, due to their size, cannot be done by teeny weeny capillaries.

|
What % of the fluid filtered from the arteriole capillary is reabsorbed by the lymph?
What is this amount in L/day? |
Around 10%
2-3 L/day |
|
|
Generally speaking, how is lymph formed?
|
Lymph is formed from the interstitial fluid flowing into the lymphatics.
Thus it initially has ALMOST the same composition as the interstitial fluid which formed it, depending on the tissue. |

Give 3 lymphatic tissue examples
|
1. Tonsils
2. Spleen 3. Thymus Gland |
