a.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The difference between lymphatic and systemic capillaries.

Introduction: The lymphatic system consists of lymphatic organs, lymphatic ducts, nodes, and vessels. The lymphatic organs are divided into two, the primary lymphoid organs and the secondary lymphoid organs. The primary organs serve as the maturation site for lymphocytes while the secondary organs serve as the differentiation site.

b.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The difference between the role of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system in blood pressure control.

Introduction: Arterial blood pressure is the pressure applied by the flowing blood inside the arteries of the body. The blood pressure is regulated by several factors that can increase or decrease the blood pressure depending upon the requirement of the body.

c.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The difference between lymph and blood.

Introduction: The lymphatic system consists of lymphatic organs, lymphatic ducts, nodes, and vessels. The cardiovascular system is made of different components. The heart constitutes the primary organs of the system, and the arteries, veins and blood capillaries form the associated structures of the cardiovascular system.

d.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The difference between continuous and fenestrated capillaries.

Introduction: The cardiovascular system is made of different components. The heart constitutes the primary organs of the system, and the arteries, veins, and blood capillaries form the associated structures of the cardiovascular system. Among the blood vessels, the pulmonary artery, vein, and aorta form the largest and most important vessel system.

e.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The difference between hydrostatic pressure and colloid osmotic pressure in systemic capillaries.

Introduction: Hypertension is the condition where the blood pressure of the individual in constantly high due to the increased pressure of blood against the arteries supplying blood to the heart. Hypertension can arise due to narrowing of the lumen of the arteries because of fat deposition.
