How does the lymphatic system work with the cardiovascular system?

11 comments:

  1. The lymphatic system works with the cardiovascular system, and this is how. After lymph has been carried through the lymphatic system it is returned to the venous system. Through the Thoracic Duct or the Right Lymphatic Duct. Returning to the Venous system allows it to go through the heart and lungs which are the cardiovascular system. That is how the lymphatic system works with the cardiovascular system.

  2. The lymph system works with the cardiovascular system by blood passing from the arteries to the arteriole and into capillaries. A part of this diffuses into the lymphatic vessels. This then drains into the lymph nodes where pathogens are attacked and killed and further medication reaction is to begin. This usually results in a swollen lymph node. The lymphatic fluid then rejoins the circulatory system by draining into a vein.

    I'm not sure if I answered that right.

    Lymphatic System

    The lymphatic system is, first of all, a part of the circulatory system, comprising a network of conduits called lymphatic vessels that carry a clear fluid called lymph (from Latin lympha "water"[1]) unidirectionally toward the heart. The lymphatic system was first described independently by Olaus Rudbeck and Thomas Bartholin.

    Secondly the lymphatic organs play an important part in the immune system, having a considerable overlap with the lymphoid system. Lymphoid tissue is found in many organs, particularly the lymph nodes, and in the lymphoid follicles associated with the digestive system such as the tonsils. The system also includes all the structures dedicated to the circulation and production of lymphocytes, which includes the spleen, thymus, bone marrow and the lymphoid tissue associated with the digestive system.[2]

    The blood does not directly come in contact with the parenchymal cells and tissues in the body, but constituents of the blood first exit the microvascular exchange blood vessels to become interstitial fluid, which comes into contact with the parenchymal cells of the body. Lymph is the fluid that is formed when interstitial fluid enters the initial lymphatic vessels of the lymphatic system. The lymph is then moved along the lymphatic vessel network by either intrinsic contractions of the lymphatic passages or by extrinsic compression of the lymphatic vessels via external tissue forces (e.g. the contractions of skeletal muscles). Eventually, the lymph vessels empty into the lymphatic ducts, which drain into one of the two subclavian veins (near the junctions of the subclavian veins with the internal jugular veins).

  4. When the body has an infection or virus, the circulatory system spreads it thoughout the body. The immune system then counteracts this by sending white blood cells to the site of infection or any virus cells through the blood stream.

  5. How does the lymphatic system work with the cardiovascular system?

    The lymphatic system also works with the circulatory system to deliver nutrients, oxygen, and hormones from the blood to the cells that make up the tissues of the body.

    the lymphatic system works with the cardiovascular system by passing lymph nods through the veins and heart.

  7. The lymphatic system filters out pathogens from the blood. The lymphatic system, anatomically, closely follows the cardiovascular system for this purpose.

  8. They work together because they intersect. Lymph nods pass through the veins and the heart.

  9. The lymphatic system works with the circulatory system to deliver nutrients and oxygen to muscles.

  10. The lymphatic system connects with the circulatory system because lymph takes out the trash of the system and lymph is made of the plasma in blood, and the systems drain into each others capillaries.
