Lymphatic system 1
- vessels take away excess fluid
around cell (tissue
fluid) n return to blood
- lymph capillaries
- around cell of body
- remove excess fluid around
cell n prevent oedema
- 1 cell thick
- lymphatics
- resemble vein in structure
- have lots of valve to
prevent backflow
- lymph nodes/G
- small oval
- have lymphatic leading to node(afferent)
but 1@2 leading away(efferent)
- lymph pass many nodes
b4 return to blood via
- lymph duct
- 2 lymph
that return
blood to
subclavian
vein
- right
lymphatic
duct open
to right
subclavian
vein
- thoracic duct
return lymph
to left
subclavian
vein
- composition of lymph
- milky fluid contain excess tissue fluid
- protein
- waste products
- fats absorbed from intestine
- antibodies n lymphocytes
- func of lymph nodes
- to clean n filter
lymph b4 return
lymph back to
blood
- to produce
lymphocytes
n antibodies
- structure pf lymph node
- have
outer
cortex n
inner
medulla
- in cortex the
lymphocytes arranged
in segment w sinuses to
allow lymph to pass
- in medulla,
lymphocytes
arranged in
strands forming
medullary
cored(produce
antibodies)
- as lymph pass the node,
lymphocytes n antibodies
clean lymph n remove
anything that harm body
- if there is infection, node
become very active that cause
them to swell n become painful
- group of lymph nodes
- during
massage, we
direct to node
to aids return
of fluid from
tissue to blood
- submandibular node
- cervical node(side of neck)
- axillary
node(armpits n
upper to lower
chest)
- supratrochlear
nodes(fold of
elbow n from
lower arm)
- abdominal
nodes(abdomen n
base of thoracic duct)
- inguinal nodes(in
groin n upper legs
n pelvis)
- popleteal
nodes(at knee
n from lower
leg)
