Chapter 14: Lymphatic and Immune

Question 1

lymph

Answer 1

clear, watery fluid surrounding body cells and flowing into system of vessels
-originate from blood (filtered from capillaries)

Question 2

WBC

Answer 2

white blood cells

• lymphocyte
• monocytes

Question 3

interstitial fluid

Answer 3

fluid surrounds body cells and passes into lymph capillaries

Question 4

Lymphocyte and monocyte

Answer 4

originate in bone marrow, lymph nodes, and spleen/thymus.

Question 5

spleen function

Answer 5

• macrophages destroy old erythrocytes (RBC)
• filters microorganisms and other foreign material from blood
• activated lymphocytes
• stores blood

Question 6

thymus function

Answer 6

• protects self from disease (immunity)

- makes antibodies; produces immune cells that fight forcing antigens such as bacteria and viruses.

Question 7

natural immunity

Answer 7

• resistance at birth
• no prior exposure to antigen
• neutrophils, monocytes, macrophages, and NK cells
• no immunological memory

Question 8

adaptive immunity

Answer 8

• lymphocytes: T and B cells
• antibodies produced after exposure to antigen
• memory: second exposure elicits faster and larger response
• vaccination
• antitoxins
• immunoglobulins
• maternal antibodies

Question 9

adenoids

Answer 9

mass of lymphatic tissue in nasopharynx

Question 10

antibody

Answer 10

protein produced by B cells. destroy antigens

Question 11

antigen

Answer 11

substance that the body recognizes as foreign

Question 12

T cell

Answer 12

lymphocyte that acts directly on an antigen

Question 13

B cell

Answer 13

lymphocyte that matures into a plasma cell to secrete antibodies

Question 14

immunotherapy

Answer 14

the use of B cells and T cells to treat conditions such as cancer.

Question 15

monoclonal antibodies (MoAb)

Answer 15

created in a lab by cloning techniques. they attack specific cancer cells.
- MoAb therapy and transplants are passive immunotherapy

Question 16

transfer of immunity cells

Answer 16

in a bone marrow, transplant, T lymphocytes from a donor replaces a patient’s immune system with new cells that “recognize” tumor cells as foreign and kill them.x

Question 17

vaccine

Answer 17

contains antigens from pt’s tumor cells. Vaccines are active immunotherapy (pt’s own immune system stimulated to do the work.

Answer 18

immune

Question 26

immunodeficiency (AIDS)

Answer 26

groups of signs and symptoms associated with suppression of immune system

Question 27

HIV

Answer 27

destroys the Helper T cells, allowing infectious to occur.

Question 28

Candidiasis

Answer 28

yeast like fungus infection

Question 29

herpes simplex

Answer 29

viral infection

Question 30

tuberculosis

Answer 30

involves lungs, brain, and other organs

Question 31

lymphoma

Answer 31

characterized by lymphadenopathy (disease of lymph nodes which then enlarge), splenomegaly, fever, weakness, and loss of weight and appetite

Question 32

myeloma

Answer 32

malignant tumor of bone marrow

Question 33

thymoma

Answer 33

tumor of thymus gland. surgery is the principal method of treating. Postoperative radiation therapy used for patients with evidence of tumor spread (metastasis)

Question 34

anaphylaxis

Answer 34

unusual hypersensitivity to previously encountered foreign proteins/other antigens. symptoms include dilation of vessels, decrease in blood pressure. may be life-threatening.

Question 35

interferons

Answer 35

cytokines secreted by T cells and other cells. aids/regulates immune response.

Question 36

phag/o

Answer 36

eat or swallow
