Lymphatic System Functions
Name the three major functions of the lymphatic system.
Each day about 20 liters of fluid filters out of blood
capillaries at the arteriole end. About 17 liters of this fluid is
reabsorbed at the venous end. What happens to the remaining 3
liters of interstitial fluid?
Describe the function of lymphatic capillaries in the small
intestine.
How does the lymphatic system promote disease resistance?
Formation of Lymph
7. a. How does lymphatic capillary structure define its
function?
b. How does pressure determine lymph movement?
Return Mechanisms
8. a.
What is the function of lymphatic ducts?
Contrast the functions of the right lymphatic duct and the
thoracic lymphatic duct.
Where do the lymphatic ducts empty into the circulatory
system?
What two mechanisms promote lymph movement.
Describe the three steps that result in lymph movement
facilitated by muscular pumping.
Explain the respiratory pumping mechanism of moving
lymph toward the heart.
