The lymphatic system collects
this fluid by diffusion into lymph capillaries, and returns it to the circulatory system.
Not exact matches
If the
fluid is stirred slowly
by a mechanical device (so that there is no
diffusion) the droplet is eventually drawn into a fine thread that is distributed throughout the whole system in such a way that it is no longer even visible to the eye.
By incorporating the complexities of channel geometry,
fluid flow rates,
diffusion coefficients and possible chemical interactions into a numerical model, the behavior of a particular system can be accurately predicted when an intuitive prediction may be extremely difficult.
He devised a three - chambered cell - culture system in which the chambers were separated
by impermeable barriers of sterile silicon grease, preventing the
diffusion of
fluid from one chamber to another.
PROM exercises are performed
by pushing or pulling on the lower part of the limb to induce flexion or extension in a target joint.26 They are typically performed in patients with stiffness secondary to surgery or in patients unable to walk on their own.27 The benefits of PROM include prevention of joint contracture and soft tissue adaptive shortening, maintenance of mobility between soft tissue layers, reduced pain, enhanced blood and lymphatic flow, and improved synovial
fluid production and
diffusion.28
