Study Notes

The lymphatic system consists of lymph vessels, lymph nodes, lymph organs, and lymph fluid.
Lymph vessels are open vessels that open up into the tissues and drain into lymph nodes, which are found in areas like the armpit and groin.
Lymph organs include the thymus and spleen, which contain leukocytes like B cells, T cells, and macrophages that screen tissue fluid.
The lymphatic system returns interstitial fluid to the blood, transports fat from the small intestine to the blood, and screens tissue fluid for contaminants.
Interstitial fluid is the fluid that bathes the cells of tissues, and if it builds up, it needs to be returned to the blood.
Blocking a lymphatic duct can cause fluid buildup in tissues, leading to swelling or edema.
Edema can be caused by parasitic infections like elephantiasis, which blocks lymphatic ducts, or by other factors like hypertension, venous obstruction, or protein buildup in interstitial fluids.
Edema can cause pronounced fluid buildup in individuals, especially in tropical regions where parasitic infections are common.
In the United States, edema is more commonly caused by conditions like hypertension, venous obstruction, or protein buildup.
Hypertension can force fluid out of blood vessels into tissues, causing edema.
A venous obstruction, such as a blood clot, can block the flow of blood and cause fluid buildup in tissues.
Protein buildup in interstitial fluids can draw water into tissues, causing edema, which can occur in conditions like thyroid disorders.
A decrease in plasma protein can also cause edema, as the relative concentration of protein in tissues increases, drawing fluid into tissues.
