AP01b09 Lymphatic System Overview

Which Vital Function category does the lymphatic system fall under?

• Exchange with the environment

• Fluid transport within the body

• Structure, support, physical protection, and movement

• Control and regulation

When the fluid is in a blood vessel it is called

• plasma

• extracellular fluid (ECF)

• lymph

When the fluid is between cells it is called

• plasma

• extracellular fluid (ECF)

• lymph

When the fluid is in the lymphatic system it is called

• plasma

• extracellular fluid (ECF)

• lymph

After plasma leaves the blood capillaries and enters the interstitial fluid, which of these statements are correct? (Mark all that apply)

• most of the fluid is reabsorbed by blood capillaries

• most of the fluid is absorbed by lymphatic capillaries

• a smaller amount of the fluid is reabsorbed by blood capillaries

• a smaller amount of the fluid is absorbed by lymphatic capillaries

Interstitial fluid is the same as

• plasma

• extracellular fluid (ECF)

• lymph

After plasma leaves the blood capillaries and enters the interstitial fluid, which of these statements is correct?

• most of the fluid is reabsorbed by blood capillaries and returned by the cardiovascular system
