Block 3 - Immune System Flashcards
aggregated nodules are made of blank
b lymphocytes
aggregated nodules of lymphocytes in pharyngeal region
tonsils
germinal centers are blank stained because of blank
lightly, immaturity
thin walled vessels that collect and transport intercellular fluid
lymphatics
lympatics have blank like veins
valves
lymphatics take lymph to and from blank
lymph nodes
largest lymphatic that is emptied into the venous system
thoracic duct
part of lymph node that is dense ct and continues as trabeculae
capsule
part of lymph node that has reticular cells, reticular fibers, and mixed phagocytic cells
stroma
reticular cells are aka
fibroblasts
reticular fibers are blank collagen
type 3
blank lymphatics bring lymph to the node
afferent
blank lymphatics bring lymph away from the node
efferent
layer of cortex that has nodules/b cells
outer
layer of cortex that has dense collection of t lymphocytes
inner
blank nodules have a circular solid mass of mature lymphocytes with some macrophages and dendritic cells
primary
blank nodules have a germinal center
secondary
part of lymph node that has cords of b lymphocytes and numerous large sinuses lined by endothelial and phagocytic cells
medulla
b lymphocytes become blank cells which become blank
plasma cells, antibodies
medulla involves the formation of blank lymphatics
efferent
large lymphocytes that differentiate into mature cells
immunoblasts
during maturation, lymphocytes get blank
smaller
blood vessels enter and exit lymph node at the blank
hilus
arteries become blank in cortex
capillaries
capillaries become blank in deep cortex
post capillary venules
circulating lymphocytes have surface markers
called blank that recognize surface markers
on the high endothelium and emigrate venule
to enter lymph node
selectins
lymph node produces blank and traps blank
lymphocytes/antibodies, bacteria/foreign matter
white spots of spleen
white pulp
red spots of spleen
red pulp
darkly stained spots of spleen are lymphocytes and make up the blank
white pulp
spleen has a similar structure to lymph node due to these
capsule, stroma
