Place the process of lymph travelling from tissues to the heart in order.
Understand the Problem
The question asks to arrange the following steps of lymph transport in the correct order: Lymphatic capillaries absorb lymph, the lymph nodes filter the lymph, and Lymph is transported to the heart via the lymphatic vessels and ducts.
Answer
1. Lymphatic capillaries absorb lymph from tissues 2. Lymph passes through lymph nodes 3. Lymph is transported towards the heart through lymphatic vessels 4. Lymph continues via lymphatic ducts into blood vessels
- Lymphatic capillaries absorb lymph from tissues
- Lymph passes through lymph nodes which filters bacteria, abnormal cells and other matter
- Lymph is transported towards the heart through lymphatic vessels
- Lymph continues via lymphatic ducts that empty into blood vessels leading to the heart
Answer for screen readers
- Lymphatic capillaries absorb lymph from tissues
- Lymph passes through lymph nodes which filters bacteria, abnormal cells and other matter
- Lymph is transported towards the heart through lymphatic vessels
- Lymph continues via lymphatic ducts that empty into blood vessels leading to the heart
More Information
Lymphatic capillaries collect lymph, which then passes through lymph nodes for filtering before moving through lymphatic vessels and ducts, eventually draining into blood vessels near the heart.
Tips
A common mistake is confusing the order of lymph node filtration and transport through lymphatic vessels. Remember, filtration in lymph nodes occurs before the lymph is transported back to the bloodstream.
