Question

The increase in tissue fluid leads to an increase in the ____________ of tissue fluid, forcing fluid into the ____________ . Fluid then flows through lymphatic vessels toward the lymphatic trunks.

Answer 1

The increase in tissue fluid leads to an increase in the hydrostatic pressure of tissue fluid, forcing fluid into the lymphatic capillaries. Fluid then flows through lymphatic vessels toward the lymphatic trunks.

Explanation:

Small, thin-walled micro-vessels are lymphatic capillaries that are located in the spaces between cells and process extracellular fluid. Plasma is a liquid part of the blood that carries cells and proteins throughout the body.

The hydrostatic pressure of the tissue fluid is increased by increasing the tissue fluid. The increased hydrostatic pressure forced the tissue fluid into the lymphatic capillaries. The tissue fluid is then flown towards the lymphatic trunks through the lymphatic vessels.
