collectors
answer
thin walled tubes collect lymph fluid from interstitial fluid in tissues (surround capilliaries)
Unlock the answer
question
lymph nodes
answer
bean shaped lymphatic tissue: lymph fluid is checked for pathogens. Lymphocytes and phagocytes (part of the immune system) fight pathogens
Unlock the answer
question
T-lymphocytes
answer
Lymphocytes produced in the bone marrow, migrate to mature in the thymus. Responsible for cell-mediated immunity: cell-surface antigen receptor is the T-cell receptor.

question
Lymphatic tissue organs
answer
found in spleen, tonsils, adenoids, peyers patches (in small intestine), appendix, lymph nodes

question
lymph ducts
answer
largest collecting channels: carry lymph from lymph nodes to the veins
Unlock the answer
question
thoracic lymph duct
answer
found at the junction of L. internal jugular vein and L. subclavian vein joined by left jugular, subclavian, bronchomediastinal trunk. starts at the cisternae chyli collects lymph and drains 3/4 of the body (lower half, left side of head, neck, thorax, left upper limb left side of head, left arm, left torso

stops backflow of lymph fluid
answer
valves in larger collecting vessels

question
functions of lymph nodes (4)
answer
1. filtration of toxins 2. destruction of toxins, pathogens by lymphocytes and phagocytes 3. concentrates lymph-removes fluid into venous system 4. produces monocytes and lymphocytes? o well

question
lymph massage manipulation
answer
1. soft pressure (weight of a nickle on the wrist) 2. slow rhythm 3. follow direction of lymph vessel
Unlock the answer
question
direction of lymph massage
answer
toward node toward heart

question
order of lymph massage manipulations
answer
1. empty the bucket- massage nodes closest to emptying ducts 2. massage tissue toward node 3. repeat step 1

question
peyers patches
answer
large aggregates of lymph nodes in the small intestine
Unlock the answer
question
lacteals
answer
lymph vessels in the small intestine: absorb fat and lymph from small intestine

question
number of lymph nodes in body
answer
400-1000 nodes
Unlock the answer
question
lymph massage movements
answer
1. begin and end at site of local lymph nodes 2. use light pressure and slow rhythm 3. use circular or eliptical movements
Unlock the answer
question
angulus venosus
answer
junction of the jugular and subclavian veins: where lymph fluid joins venous flow to go the the right atrium, right ventrical etc.
Unlock the answer
question
chyle
answer
white or pale yellow substance in lymph: contains fatty substances absorbed by the lacteals, the lymph vessel in the small intestine
Unlock the answer
question
cisterna chyli
answer
enlarged pouch on the thoracic duct: serves as a storage area for lymph moving toward point of entry into the venous system
Unlock the answer
question
lymph
answer
a thin clear fluid containing lymphocytes, bathes each cell with fluid
Unlock the answer
question
pre-collectors
answer
lymph fluid flows through lymphatic capillaries to pre-collectors. varied wall structure: sections of tight endothelial junctions and smooth muscle, sections of open endothelial junctions for absorption of fluid. contain valves to prevent backflow of fluid connect the lymphatic capillaries with collectors.
Unlock the answer
question
lymphatic capillaries
answer
1. first of the lymphatic vessels: microscopic, penetrate every tissue of the body except the central nervous system 2. closed at one end; consists of a sac of endothelial cells, loosely overlapping each other like shingles. 3. tethered to surrounding tissue by protein filaments to prevent the sac from collapsing

question
watershed of the lymphatic system
answer
separation of flow of lymph into drainage territories lymph from lower extermities goes to inguinal nodes then to the cisterna chyli at base of thoracic duct
Unlock the answer
question
regional lymph nodes
answer
1. submaxillary-beneath mandile, under the tongue 2. preauricular-front of ear 3. postauricular-behind hear around mastoid process occiptial-base of skull 4. deep cervical-along carotid artery and internal jugular vein 5. axillary-armpit: main group of upper extremity, axillary nodes receive lymph from vessels that dreain the wall of the thorax, mammary gland, upper wall of the abdomin and arm 6. subtrochlear-elbows (anticubital fossa) 7. inguinal-groin: most important group of the lower extremeity, receive lymph from the geg, external genitalia and lower abdominal wall 8. popliteal-behind the knee 9. abdomin 10. pelvis

answer
below the belt line: lymph flows around to the anterior of the body toward the inhuinal lymph nodes.

question
left thoracic duct
answer
drains lymph from left side of the head, neck and left upper extremites-left subclavian vein near the junction of the L jugular vein
Unlock the answer
question
right thoracic duct
answer
drains lymph from the right side of the head, neck, right upper extermities, right side of the torso above the belt line, flows into right lymphatic duct-enters venous flow near juction of right subclavian vein and right jugular vein-to right atrium etc.

question
inhibits lymph flow
answer
1. lack of physical activity 2. stress 3. fatique 4. emotional trauma 5, surgical removal of lymph nodes cause scarring
Unlock the answer
question
lymph circulation
answer
1. starts at capillary bed: lymph enters lymph capillaries 2. lymph capillaries to pre-collectors 3. pre-collectors to larger lymph collectors 4. larger lymph collectors to lymph nodes 5. lymph nodes to larger vessels to either thoracic duct or right lymphatic duct 6. ducts to right subclavian vein at angulus venosus

question
lymphocyte
answer
involved in specific immunity: include cell types, B-cells and T cells. B-cells produce and secrete antibodies and T-cells mature in thymus: involved in cellular immunity.

question
benefits of massage
answer
1. stimulates lymph flow to clear out toxins, dead bacteria/viruses, proteins, cellular debris 2. promotes internal balance 3. purifies and regenerates tissues 4. normalize function of organs and immune system
