Define Some important functions of lymph .....
Answers
The lymphatic system the body’s secondary circulatory system. Its functions are closely linked to the functions of the body’s primary circulatory system, the blood circulation.
The key function of lymph is to transport blood components back to the blood stream and maintain the correct volume of blood circulation
The interstitial fluid plays an important role in giving shape and structure to the body organs, and in order to give each organ or body part the correct structure, the volume of interstitial fluid must remain constant.If interstitial fluid accumulates, swelling occurs and the shape and structure of the organ or body part changes. So although the lymphatic system is constantly absorbing interstitial fluid from the interstitial spaces, there is always a constant volume of interstitial fluid in a given interstitial space (except for example in times of inflammation and swelling).
The lymphatic system only absorbs fluid when new fluid is leaked into the space to replace that absorbed into the lymphatic system.
Absorption of lymph into the lymphatic vessels plays an important role in maintaining the correct amount of fluid in the interstitial spaces to ensure that swelling does not occur.
A considerable quantity of fluid leaks from the blood circulation each day. While the majority of leaked blood is reabsorbed by the blood vessels, up to 3 L per day remains in the spaces between tissues and becomes part of the interstitial fluid. Unless this fluid is absorbed by the lymphatic system, too much fluid will accumulate in the interstitial spaces and swelling will occur.
