  2. Lymphatic system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lymphatic_system

    The ducts empty into the subclavian veins to return to the blood circulation. Lymph is moved through the system by muscle contractions. [9] In some vertebrates, a lymph heart is present that pumps the lymph to the veins. [9] [10] The lymphatic system was first described in the 17th century independently by Olaus Rudbeck and Thomas Bartholin. [11]

    The flow of lymph in the thoracic duct in an average resting person usually approximates 100ml per hour. Accompanied by another ~25ml per hour in other lymph vessels, the total lymph flow in the body is about 4 to 5 litres per day. This can be elevated several fold while exercising.

  4. Lymph capillary - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lymph_capillary

    Upon entering the lumen of a lymphatic capillary, the collected fluid is known as lymph. Each lymphatic capillary carries lymph into a lymphatic vessel, which in turn connects to a lymph node, a small bean-shaped gland that filters and monitors the lymphatic fluid for infections. [1] Lymph is ultimately returned to the venous circulation.

  5. Lymphatic vessel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lymphatic_vessel

    A valve system in place here prevents the absorbed lymph from leaking back into the interstital fluid. This valve system involves collagen fibers attached to lymphatic endothelial cells that respond to increased interstitial fluid pressure by separating the endothelial cells and allowing the flow of lymph into the capillary for circulation. [5]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circulatory_system

    The lymphatic system also works with the immune system. [6] The circulation of lymph takes much longer than that of blood [7] and, unlike the closed (blood) circulatory system, the lymphatic system is an open system. Some sources describe it as a secondary circulatory system. The circulatory system can be affected by many cardiovascular diseases.

    Lymph nodes of the lungs: The lymph is drained from the lung tissue through subsegmental, segmental, lobar and interlobar lymph nodes to the hilar lymph nodes, which are located around the hilum (the pedicle, which attaches the lung to the mediastinal structures, containing the pulmonary artery, the pulmonary veins, the main bronchus for each side, some vegetative nerves and the lymphatics) of ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lymph_node

    A lymph node, or lymph gland, [1] is a kidney-shaped organ of the lymphatic system and the adaptive immune system. A large number of lymph nodes are linked throughout the body by the lymphatic vessels. They are major sites of lymphocytes that include B and T cells.
