Chapter 21: The Lymphatic and Immune Systems Connect HW Flashcards
When the body acquires antibodies from another person or an animal that has developed its own immunity to the pathogen, this type of immunity is classified as
passive immunity
is an abnormal elevation in body temperature NOT due to failed thermoregulation
Fever
The thymus is considered part of several body systems. Name these.
- endocrine system
- lymphatic system
- immune system
A person develops resistance to a virus picked up from a drinking fountain
Natural Active Immunity
A person is given an attenuated smallpox virus and develops resistance
Artificial Active Immunity
A baby acquires resistance to a virus through antibodies obtained through breast milk
Natural Passive Immunity
An antibody is injected into a person who has been bitten by a snake. The antibody infers resistance.
Artificial Passive Immunity
The ______ line of defense is the immune system, which not only defeats a pathogen but leaves the body with a “memory” of it, enabling us to defeat it so quickly in future encounters that the pathogen no longer causes no illness
third
Identify the body’s largest lymphatic organ, located in the left hypochondriac region
spleen
The type of defense that requires prior exposure to a pathogen, and provides future protection future against that pathogen, is called ________ defense.
specific
List cells that function as antigen presenting cells
- B cells
- dendritic cells
- macrophages
Humoral immunity is mediated by antibodies secreted by ________ cells
B
List the correct order of lymphatic flow through a lymph node
- afferent lymphatic vessel
- subcapsular sinus of the cortex
- sinuses of cortex and medulla
- efferent lymphatic vessel
The type of defense that guards against a broad range of pathogens is ________ resistance
nonspecific
Name the group of cells that phagocytize and display antigenic fragments on their surface, allowing recognition by other cells of the immune system
APC
List the features of the tonsils
- tonsillar crypts
- an incomplete fibrous capsule
- lymphatic nodules
