Chapter 22 Review sheet Flashcards
What are the three functions of the lymphatic system
- Defense- immunity
- Fluid balance within tissue
- Fat absorption from Digestive tract
What drains lymph from the entire lower half of the body and on the left side above the diaphragm
thoracic duct
What drains lymph from the right side of the body above the diaphragm
Right lymphatic duct
Filters blood to remove pathogens and/ or abnormal cells
storage of iron recycled from RBCs
Initiation of immune response by B cells and T cells in response to antigens circulating in blood.
spleen
are enclosed in connective tissue capsule and generally found in clusters
lymph nodes
located in the upper left quadrant of the abdomen
spleen
secretes thymosin necessary for T cell maturation
thymus
mucosa associated lymphoid tissue found deep to the epithelium of other organs
MALT
part of the MALT, large lymphoid nodule in the wall of pharynx
Tonsil
Densely packed lymphocytes within areolar connective tissue
lymphoid nodule
located in the mediastinum
thymus
major clusters are: cervical, axillary, lumbar, and inguinal
lymph nodes
contains red pulp and white pulp
spleen
filters lymph to remove pathogens
lymph nodes
CT covering separates node from surrounding tissues
capsule
contains B cells within germinal centers
outer cortex
contains T cells
deep cortex
contains macrophages and dendritic cells
subcapsular space
where lymph enters
Afferent lymphatic vessel
where lymph exits
efferent lymphatic vessel
contains B cells and plasma cells organized in medullary cords
Medulla
what order does lymph flow through the node (1. afferent lymphatic vessel)
ASODME
- Afferent lymphatic vessel
- Subcapsular space
- outer cortex
- deep cortex
- medulla
- efferent lymphatic vessel
immunity develops because natural exposure to antigens
naturally acquired active immunity
mom’s antibodies given through breast milk
naturally acquired passive immunity
present at birth
innate immunity
immunity develops because of deliberate exposure to antigens
induced active immunity
antibodies are administered to fight an infection or prevent disease
induced passive immunity
engulfs pathogens and cellular debris
phagocytes
chemical messengers that coordinate defenses against viral infections
interferons
localized tissue-level response that tends to limit the spread of an injury or infections
inflammatory response
is an elevation of body temperature that speeds up tissue metabolism and the activity of defenses
fever
keeps. hazardous organisms and materials outside the body
physical barrier
destruction of abnormal cells by natural killer cell in peripheral tissue
immunological Surveillance
system of circulating proteins that assist antibodies in the destruction of pathogens
complement system
Every year mark gets the flu shot which reduces his chances of becoming ill after exposure. What kind of immunity is this.
Induced active immunity because he is deliberately being exposed to the antigen
rabbit is exposed to a viral antigen and makes antibodies. These antibodies are then purified and injected into a human. What type of immunity is this
induced passive immunity. you are giving antibodies
