Question

What is lymp who does it circulate in our body what is its function?

Answer 1

Answer:

function of lymph is:-

1. defence
2. transport of oxygen to parts where blood cannot reach.

sometimes WBCs squeeze out of the capillary walls (diapedesis) and enter another system known as the lymphatic system, there it is known as lymph.

Answer 2

$\huge\red{Function}$

⭐⭐The lymph system has three main functions⭐⭐.

1.fluid 2. absorption 3. immune system

Fluid balance

✔✔The lymphatic system helps maintain fluid balance. It returns excess fluid and proteins from the tissues that cannot be returned through the blood vessels.

✔✔The fluid is found in tissue spaces and cavities, in the tiny spaces surrounding cells, known as the interstitial spaces.

✔✔Each day, around 2-3 liters is returned. This fluid includes proteins that are too large to be transported via the blood vessels.

✔✔Loss of the lymphatic system would be fatal within a day. Without the lymphatic system draining excess fluid, our tissues would swell, blood volume would be lost and pressure would increase.

Absorption

✔✔Most of the fats absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract are taken up in a part of the gut membrane in the small intestine that is specially adapted by the lymphatic system.

✔✔✔The lymphatic system has tiny lacteals in this part of the intestine that form part of the villi. These finger-like protruding structures are produced by the tiny folds in the absorptive surface of the gut.

✔✔Lacteals absorb fats and fat-soluble vitamins to form a milky white fluid called chyle.

The immune system

✔✔The lymphatic system produces white blood cells, or lymphocytes that are crucial in fending off infections.

✔✔The lymphatic system produces white blood cells, or lymphocytes that are crucial in fending off infections.

Our bodies are constantly exposed to potentially hazardous micro-organisms, such as infections.

✔✔The body's first line of defense involves:

physical barriers, such as the skin

toxic barriers, such as the acidic contents of the stomach

"friendly" bacteria in the body
