    • triggered by factors released by platelets
    • takes 5 mins
    • extrinsic:

  12. how is lymph different from blood?
    • it goes in only one directions (doesn't circulate)
    • there is no pump (heart) in the system 
    • has no red blood cells
    • no platelets or clotting factors
    • does not deliver things (oxygen/nutrients)
    • transport is interrupted by filters called lymph nodes
  13. where is lymph returned to the main circulation?
    subclavian veins
  14. in addition to its major role in immunity, what other two things does the lymphatic system do?
    transports fats from the intestine to the bloodstream 

    picks up extra tissue fluid
  15. what are muscosa associated lymphatic tissues?
