CHAPTER 10.7 (F4): LYMPHATIC SYSTEM

Which of the following are the systems involved in circulating the body fluid?

• Blood circulatory system

• Lymphatic system

• Nervous system

• Endocrine system

Which of the following organs are involved in lymphatic system?

• Lymph nodes

• Thymus and spleen

• Tonsils

• Appendix

• Heart

What is the function of lacteals in the lymphatic system?

• To absorb carbohydrates

• To absorb proteins

• To absorb lipid soluble substances

• To absorb minerals

How tissue fluid is formed?

• Blood plasma diffuses into the intercellular spaces

• High hydrostatic pressure in capillary

• According to the concentration of blood plasma

• Blood plasma is absorbed into the cells

Why does tissue fluid not contain erythrocytes, platelets, and plasma proteins?

• They are too large to be absorbed

• They are not needed in tissue fluid

• They are absorbed by cells

• They are broken down in the capillaries

Approximately how much tissue fluid is not returned into the capillaries each day?

• 2 liters

• 4 liters

• 6 liters

• 8 liters

What happens to waste products in tissue fluid?

• They are returned into the blood circulatory system

• They are converted into nutrients

• They are stored in the cells

• They are broken down into simpler compounds

What percentage of tissue fluid is reabsorbed into the venule end of the capillaries?

• 50%

• 75%

• 85%

• 95%

What happens to the remaining 15% of tissue fluid that is not reabsorbed by the blood capillary?

• It forms lymph

• It diffuses into the lymph capillary

• It is absorbed by cells

• It is converted into plasma

• It is accumulated in body tissues

Match the following fluids with its location.

• Blood vessel

• Tissue fluid / Interstitial fluid

• Intercellular space

• Lymph

• Lymphatic vessel

• Blood
