ANSWERS
Blood Capillaries - ACCURATE ANSWER✅✅Separate the arterial and venous
systems.
Covered by a basil Membrane.
Semi-permeable to allow transport of smaller molecules.
Commonalities of the Circulatory and Lymphatic Systems - ACCURATE
ANSWER✅✅Superficial, deep, and organ systems.
Similar vessel structure.
Leukocytes (monocytes and lymphocytes).
Blood plasma (LS returns filtered blood plasma to the blood stream).
Serum proteins (lower concentration in LS).
Common pathway to heart.
Protection of the body from infection and disease.
Main differences between Circulatory and Lymphatic Systems: - ACCURATE
ANSWER✅✅LS is not a Circulatory system (lymph transport).
No central pum in the LS.
Lymph transport is interrupted by lymph nodes.
Edema vs. Lymphedema - ACCURATE ANSWER✅✅edema = accumulation of
water
lymphedema = accumulation of protein
,edema = symptom
lymphedema = disease process
edema = dynamic insufficiency of LS
lymphedema = mechanical insufficiency of LS.
What is the most common cause of lymphedema in the US? - ACCURATE
ANSWER✅✅Breast cancer surgery
What's in the lymphatic load? - ACCURATE ANSWER✅✅water, protein, cells,
long-chain fatty acids (fat)
What are proteins and how do they relate to LS? - ACCURATE
ANSWER✅✅Macromolecules and hydrophilic. Too large to be reabsorbed at the
venous end of the blood capillaries. It is the responsibility of the LS to remove
proteins from the tissue space.
Chylomicrons - ACCURATE ANSWER✅✅are a LL absorbed only in the
digestive system (removed by chylus vessels of the small intestines).
They cannot be absorbed by the blood vessels of the small intestines.
Describe the lymph track of chylomicrons - ACCURATE ANSWER✅✅small
intestines > GI trunk > Cisterna Chyli > Thoracic Duct > L Venous Angle
Cell Fragments - ACCURATE ANSWER✅✅All cells that become free in the
interstitial space will become LL.
examples:
, Hematoma contents, RBC's, WBC's, CA cells, bacteria, tattoo ink.
Spores we inhale, tar, dirt.
Cell fragments are too large to be reabsorbed by the venous capillaries.
Deep LS - ACCURATE ANSWER✅✅-Subfacial
-purpose: drain LL of everything but the skin (muscles, tendons, joints, inner
organs)
-Usually, deep LS involvement is not seen in our practice.
-Fascia holds back the swelling
-painful
Areas without lymph vessels - ACCURATE ANSWER✅✅Generally, those areas
without blood supply
- hair
- dentin of teeth
- inside of eye (lens, cornea, sclera)
- bone tissue (compact and cancellous bone)
- nails
- epithelial tissue
- cartilage
- labyrinth of inner ear
- placenta
