Chapter 22: Immunity and Lymphatic System Flashcards
Fluid that is of the same composition as interstitual fluid.
Formed by capillary filtration.
Lymph
Lymphatic vessels that resemble veins, but have _______ walls and _____ valves.
Thinner, more
Lymphatic _________ are located all throughout the body except avasucular tissue.
Its structure permits the fluid to enter, but not leave.
capillaries
Lymphatic capillaries associated with the small intestine are called ________.
Lacteals
Lymph _____ filter lymph and contains macrophages and lymphocytes.
nodes
Lymph nodes enter through _______ capillaries and exit through ______ vessels.
afferent, efferent
Vessels leaving chain of nodes unite to form a lymphatic ________.
trunk
Maturation site for T-cells.
Produces hormones necessary for production of
lymphocytes.
Primary lymphatic organ.
Thymus
Largest mass of lymphatic tissue, contains white pulp and red pulp.
Spleen
Lymphatic tissue not surrounded by a capsule and is associated with mucosal membranes are lymph _______.
nodules
What are the 3 types of lymphocytes?
B cells, T cells, and NK cells
Type of lymphocyte that is thymus dependent and is the most common.
T-cells
Type of lymphocyte that is bone-marrow derived, differentiate into plasma cells, and produce antibodies.
B-Cells
Type of lymphocyte that are large granular cells that attack foreign cells.
NK cells
First line of defense for innate (nonspecific) response.
(perspiration, saliva, gastric juice} include:
Mechanical and ________ barriers.
__________ and muscosal membranes.
_____ secretions.
Mechanical & chemical barriers.
Epidermis & mucosal membranes.
Body secretions.
Structure of lymph nodes include (5):
Capsule, trabeculae, suscapular space, cortex, and medulla
Phagocytes, NK cells, interferons, complement system, inflammation, and fever are part of what line of defense?
Second line of defense
4 steps for phagocytes to eat cells.
Chemotaxis, adherence, ingestion, digestion & killing
Helps trigger neighboring cells to increase security.
Interferons
The attraction of phagocytic cells to the source of abnormal chemicals in tissue fluids.
Chemotaxis
Cytokines that produce antiviral proteins and stimulate NK cells and macrophage activity.
Interferons
A series of proteins always there waiting to help antibodies.
Complement system
Defense response to cellular/tissue damage.
Inflammation
First stage of Inflammatory response? Includes redness and swelling.
Vasodilation and increased capillary permeability
Histamines, heparin, and prostaglandins are part of the first stage of ____________.
First stage of inflammation
Second stage of inflammatory response includes emigration of _________.
Emigration of phagocytes
Collection of dead neutrophils and monocytes from the second stage cause what?
Pus
Third stage of inflammatory response includes _______ repair and formation of scar tissue by __________.
Tissue, fibroblasts
Elevated body temperature that intensifies action of interferons. Resetting of hypothalamic thermostat.(pyrogens)
Fever
