The blood components are the haematological system, and the branching network of vessels is the peripheral vascular system: the arteries, veins and capillaries. The lymphatic system is a special vascular system that helps maintain sufficient blood volume in the cardiovascular system by picking up excess tissue fluid and returning it to the bloodstream. | Publication Type: | Book Chapter | Source of Publication: | Medical-Surgical Nursing: Critical thinking in client care, v.2, p. 1084-1109 | Publisher: | Pearson Australia | Place of Publication: | Frenchs Forest, Australia | ISBN: | 9781442517080 9781442534490 |
