12.2 Interaction between Systems

Time to Take Notes

As I am away at the blood drive today (just downstairs), you will complete the notes on the following presentation, answering the questions as you go along.

Yes! It's a grade -- and just because the teacher is away, does not mean you get to play :)

What does fluid return matter? (look back to 12.1-1)

Multiple Choice

Which of the following is NOT a function of the lymphatic system?

• Transporting excess tissue fluid

• Transporting large proteins

• Transporting dietary fats

• Transporting oxygen

Multiple Choice

If the lymphatic system can collect large molecules, could it also be responsible for transporting nutrients that don’t fit into capillaries?

• Yes

• No

Multiple Choice

Which nutrients are absorbed into the lymphatic system before entering the bloodstream?

• Carbohydrates and proteins

• Proteins and vitamins

• Fats and fat-soluble vitamins

• Carbohydrates and fats

Reorder

Arrange the following steps in the correct order for fat transport from digestion to delivery to tissues:

• Fats are broken down in the small intestine

• Fats are absorbed by enterocytes

• Chylomicrons enter lacteals

• Lymph carrying chylomicrons empties into the bloodstream

• Chylomicrons release fats to muscle and adipose tissue.
