2.6 Lymphoid Tissue Flashcards
A milky fluid containing emulsified fat and other products of digestion formed in the small intestine
Chyle
Drains the right side of the neck, thorax and upper limbs
Right lymphatic duct
Drains the lower half of the body
Thoracic duct
A dilated sac in the inferior end of the thoracic duct; it is where the main lymphatic vessels of the abdomen and intestines converge
Cisterna chyli
Where the right lymphatic duct and throacic duct will converge and drain into
Subclavian veins
Localized type of edema which occurs when lymph does not drain from an area of the body
Lymphedema
Most abundant and only antibody that crosses the placental barrier and provides immunity for the newborn for the first 6 months
IgG
First antibodies produced in an initial immune response; activates complement
IgM
Antibody in secretions including milk
IgA
Antibody present in the surface of B lymphocytes
IgD
Antibody present in allergic reactions and parasitic infections
IgE
Antigen-antibody reaction where the antibody blocks the adhesion of the antigen to cells and inactivates toxins
Neutralization
Antigen-antibody reaction where where the antibody cross links cell, forming clumps, reducing free antigen, to be ingested by phagocytes
Agglutination
Antigen-antibody reaction where the antibody corss links circulating particles forming insoluble antigen-antibody complex
Precipitation
