Question

Q1What is lymphatic system? Mention the function of lymph
Q2describe mechanism of glomerular filtration formation

Answer 1

Answer:

1)The lymphatic system has multiple interrelated functions: It is responsible for the removal of interstitial fluid from tissues. It absorbs and transports fatty acids and fats as chyle from the digestive system. It transports white blood cells to and from the lymph nodes into the bones.

2)The process by which glomerular filtration occurs is called renal ultrafiltration. The force of hydrostatic pressure in the glomerulus (the force of pressure exerted from the pressure of the blood vessel itself) is the driving force that pushes filtrate out of the capillaries and into the slits in the nephron.

Answer 2

Answer:

Q1: Lymph - Fluid inside the lymph vessels with less proteins and more lymphocytes. It transports lymphocytes throughout the body to fight against the germs and help in immunity.

Q2: Glomerular filtration or ultra filtration - a high pressure filtration of blood takes place between blood in the glomerulus and the filtrate in the Bowman's capsule. Walls of Bowman's capsule are linked with modified epithelial cells called podocytes. It has small gaps which helps in filtration.
