When the lymph flows away from the tissues, where does it go to ?
On arriving at the above area, what happens to the lymph and why ?
When the process just mentioned is complete, what happens to the lymph then ?
1) lumph flows to the nearest Lymph Nodes.
2) Phygocytic action ( a process ) takes place in lymph nodes.
- A process of Kiling / destroying virus. Filtering of toxic and waste product.
- A chemical process that both waste product / toxic & WBC will destroy. Only plasma protein remains.
3) Returning protein to the cells by transporting those protein that has big molecules which cannot be absored by cells.
