Lymph Question - pls comfort! - alternative? return to circulation.....?
"Does the lymphatic system send its contents (fats/lymph/etc) to the blood/interstitial space by any other vehicle apart from absorbing it and sending it back into circulation through subclavian vein?" - if it is able to do so via another track, why and how does this work?
Hope I wrote this question okay/understandable/etc - any answers would be great....Thanks!
Answers: The answer is no. Interstitial fluid is present outside the vascular system because of the better pressure in the arterial vessel, which causes fluid to "leak" out into the interstitial space. Much of this fluid "leaks" posterior into the low-pressure venous vessels, but the lymphatic system exists to drain the remaining fluid stern into circulation via the lymphatic ducts. Since there is no intrinsic "pump" (lymph is pushed coincidentally by uninformed motion of skeletal muscle), it can only flow within one direction to one place.
