What moves lymph through the lymphatic system?

Biology

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.

The Punnett square illustrates a cross for color of the flower.
matrenka [14]

Answer:

All right reserved

Human skin color is a good example of polygenic (multiple gene) inheritance. Assume that three "dominant" capital letter genes (A, B and C) control dark pigmentation because more melanin is produced. The "recessive"alleles of these three genes (a, b & c) control light pigmentation because lower amounts of melanin are produced.

Match the type of of evidence for evolution with the correct example. analogous structures vestigial structures homologous struc
gogolik [260]

• Homologous structures: Both Ostriches have wings similar in form to those of their ancestors, but that do not allow the birds to fly.

Homologous structures are those that have structural similarities but are different in function. For example, if we look at the anatomical structure of a bird’s wing, it is very similar in structure with a human arm. However, over the course of time they have evolved to perform different functions.

• Vestigial structures: The inner ear bones of mammals have evolved from bones that form the jaws of reptiles.  

Vestigiality refers to the process in which some structure lose their function over the course of evolution in some specie but they are functionally normal in other species.  Such a structure is the inner ear bones of mammals which donot perform an important function in mammals but do perform in reptiles.

• DNA sequence data: Both Genes involved in RNA replication are conserved among bacteria and animals, suggesting a common evolutionary origin.

The sequencing of genetic data is an excellent method of finding the evolutionary histories and relatedness of different organisms. This field of sciences is called phylogenetics and the mentioned example is the result of phylogenetics.

• Analogous structures: The jointed legs of insects and vertebrates arose independently, indicating a different evolutionary origin.  

Analogous structures are those that have similar function but they look very different in structure or anatomy. This is because they have been evolved from different ancestors and perform different functions. One example of these structures is mentioned, The jointed legs of insects and vertebrates that look different bur perform same function.
