Tissue Fluid And Lymph

Tissue Fluid and Lymph

1. Exchange across the capillaries

2. Formation of tissue fluid

3. Lymph

Exchange across the capillaries

Exchange across the capillariesSubstances leave (and enter) capillaries through the walls

Formation of tissue fluid

• As blood flows through the capillaries some plasma passes into the tissues

• This tissue fluid is very similar to plasma but does not have large plasma protein molecules in it

• This fluid bathes every cell in the body supplying them with glucose, amino acids, fatty acids, salts and oxygen

• Tissue fluid also removes carbon dioxide an other waste material from cells

• As blood enters the narrow capillaries the build up of pressure forces water through the capillary walls into the cells.

• Other substances move out by diffusion or active transport

• As blood leaves the capillaries into has lost a lot of its water and so is far more concentrated

• So water passes back into the capillary by osmosis

• Waste products leave the cells and enter the capillaries by diffusion

• Not all the fluid returns to the blood capillary• 10% enters a separate system of microscopic

tubes called lymph capillaries• These are part of the lymph system• Lymph vessels have valves that let fluid enter

but not leave them• The lymph capillaries join to form lymph

vessels

Fluid in the• Blood is called plasma• Surrounding the cells is called tissue fluid• In the lymphatic system is called lymph

• There is very little difference between these three!

• Flow of liquid through the lymph system is very slow

• It depends on movement of our muscles, the valves in the vessels and the negative pressure in chest when we breath in.

• Flow is in one direction only, from tissues towards the heart.

• Most of the lymph re-enters the blood stream at the subclavian veins under the collar bones

• Lymph is a milky looking fluid• Digested fat is absorbed into the lymph

through the lacteals in the villi of the small intestine

• At intervals along the lymph vessels are structures called lymph nodes

• These are part of the immune system

• Lymphocytes are produced in the lymph nodes

• Lymphocytes are white blood cells that produce antibodies

• The lymph nodes swell up at times of infection
