Micro-circulation & Lymphatic System
The Microcirculation and the Lymphatic System: Capillary Fluid Exchange, Interstitial Fluid, and Lymph Flow. The most purposeful function of the circulation occurs in the microcirculation: this is transport of nutrients to the tissues and removal of cell excreta.
At the end of the lesson student should able to learn about:
- Structure of the Microcirculation and Capillary system.
- Exchange of water, Nutrients and other substances between blood and interstitial fluid.
- Interstitium and Interstitial fluid.
- Capillary fluid filtration is determined by hydrostatic and colloid osmotic pressure and capillary filtration coefficient.
- Lymphatic system.
