balance in the internal environment.
-interstitial fluid is absorbed by tissue cells and reabsorbed by the blood

edema Correct Ans - puffy swelling of tissue from the accumulation of
fluid that can cause tissue distruction

tissue fluid and > venous blood
lymph Correct Ans - clear, water- appearing fluid found in the
lymphatic vessels.
-This fluid is isotonic
Interstitial Fluid Correct Ans - -fills space between cells
-has a lower protein concentration
lymphatic capillaries Correct Ans - -microscopic
-blind end vessel that are the origin of lymphatic vessels

lymphatic trunk
what type of cells are lymphatic capillaries made up of? Correct Ans -
flattened endothelial cells (simple Squamous)
lymphatic vessel contains Correct Ans - -thin walls
-valves (these valves are one way)
-lymph nodes
as the lymph flows from thin walled capillaries into vessels with a larger
diameter.. the walls become THINER or Thicker? Correct Ans - thicker-
similar to arteries and veins
,Lymphatic vessel functions Correct Ans - -high molecular weight
substance and even particulate matter from interstitial space
-lacteals absorb fat and other nutrician from the small intestine
-PROTIENS THAT ACCUMULATE IN THE Tissue can only return to the blood
through lymphatics
chyle Correct Ans - milky lymph found in lacteals after digestion
contain 1-2% fat.

preauricular nodes drain Correct Ans - superficial tissue and skin on
the lateral side of the head and face
mechanical filtration Correct Ans - stops particles form processing
further into the body
Biological filtration Correct Ans - -focuses on biological processes of
cells
-Phagocytosis destroys and removes particles
WBC maturation Correct Ans - lymphoid tissue is the final stage of
maturation
adentitis Correct Ans - infection of the node
tonsils Correct Ans - protect against bacteria that may invade tissues
around the nasal and oral cavities
