Blood, Tissue Fluid & Lymph
Lymph originates as blood plasma.
Blood plasma of arterial blood is rich in nutrients to
supply cells.
The blood plasma leaves the capillary beds throughout
the body and become tissue fluid.
Tissue fluid is also known as intercellular fluid or
interstitial fluid
1.
Transports:
Dissolved gases (e.g. oxygen, carbon dioxide);
Waste products of metabolism (e.g. water, urea);
Hormones;
Enzymes;
Nutrients (such as glucose, amino acids, micro-nutrients
(vitamins & minerals), fatty acids, glycerol);
Plasma proteins (associated with defense, such as blood-
clotting and anti-bodies);
3.Controls pH
The pH of blood must remain in the range 6.8 to 7.4,
otherwise it begins to damage cells.
The more DPG the more oxygen RBCs can release to body
tissues that need oxygen.

2.NUTRITION
Research has shown that diet affects the development of
high blood pressure (hypertension).
Healthy weight management and appropriate intake of salt
(sodium) are both very important.
3. ALCOHOL
Alcohol is a drug
2. water potential
The hydrostatic pressure is generated by the pumping force of
the heart. It pushes water out of the capillaries.
At the venous end, the water potential is greater, so the net
movement favors substances being passed back into the
capillary.
Why do humans have a higher blood cell count at
higher elevations?
