i've seen the lymphatic system in 2002 but tat was the old syllabus.. they will usually show u a microvilli n ask u wat the lymph vessel there is for.. but usually it will be basic functions of the lymph system.. there's not much infor that we need to know at our level..
@camel.. lool u aint gonna fail.. just trust n believe that you've done all u cna. freaking out is gonna make u worst.. cheer up hope tat helps
The lymph vessel is there to diffuse all the fatty acids and glycerol..correct??
And my book sucks on the lymphatic system. Apart from what people wrote above..what else do I need to know?
The role of the lymphatic system..
1 to drain the tissue fluid back in to the blood
2 to defend the body against disease by producing lymphocytes which relase antibodies to react with antigens (pathogens)
3 to transports lipids, glycerol and fat soluble vitamins, A,D, E and K from the lacteal (lymph capillary) of the villus back into the circulatory system
4 transport water, hormones, glucose, amino acids, minerals and heat in the interstitial fluid (tissue fluid)
5 transport waste products such as CO2, and nitrogenous compounds from the tissue fluid in the lymphatic system
pretty much its like a whole new blood system but only for the tissue fluid.. you might also need to know where the lymphatic system is and etc.. the make up n all but these are the usual questions they ask like wat is the rold of the lymphatic system.. hope tat helps..
and again if anyone finds an error in my post ur welcomed to correct it
gud luck!
