What moves lymph through the lymphatic system?

Biology
2 answers:
solong [7]3 years ago

The lymph is moved through the body in its own vessels making a one-way journey from the interstitial spaces to the subclavian veins at the base of the neck. Since the lymphatic system does not have a heart to pump it, its upward movement depends on the motions of the muscle and joint pumps.

Answer:

Movement of blood in the circulatory system is through the pumping action of heart but the movement of lymph in the lymphatic system is due to the movement of muscles which push the lymph towards heart.

Explanation:

When the blood passes through the capillaries near tissues, some water along with some water soluble substances move out into the interstitial space. This fluid released out is called interstitial fluid or tissue fluid. This fluid is collected back and drained into the major veins by a network of vessels called the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system consists of:

Lymph capillaries

lymph vessels

lymph nodes

lymph ducts

Interstitial fluid enters the lymph capillaries as the wall is thin and porous. Once it enters the capillaries now it is called lymph. Lymph capillaries merge to join lymph vessels which further merge into ducts. These ducts drain the lymph into right and left subclavein veins. These veins drain into superior vena cava which connects to heart. In this way the tissue fluid formed by filtration of plasma out of blood capillaries is ultimately returned to the major veins.

Place in order the correct sequence by which water flows through plants
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

The correct sequence is - 2, 3, 4, 1.

Explanation:

The movement of the water takes place in the plant from the soil and moves up to leaves and from there to the atmosphere. Root hairs help in the absorption of the water from the soil with help of the epidermis of root hairs. Water then takes the path from the root to the stem with help of cortical cells.

Once the water reaches the endodermis or endodermal cell the water freely flow in the xylem cell upwards the stem moves to leaves by the transpiration stream. In the process of transpiration, an excess amount of water evaporates into the atmosphere.

Identify the difference between the more traditional Mendelian and Neomendelian modes of inheritance (qualitative inheritance) a
Ann [662]

Answer:

Answer explained below

Explanation:

quantitative inheritance results in a continuous range of multiple phenotypes. The final phenotype results from both gene and environmental influences. For example, human height

                                                WHILE

Qualitative inheritance results in distinct and separate phenotypic categories. The final phenotype results from gene action​​​​​​​. For example, fruit fly eye color​​​​​​​.
