Q

4 Functions of Lymphatic System

A

1) absorb excess interstitial fluid and return it to the bloodstream
2) absorb dietary fats and transport to bloodstream
3) production, maintenencem and distribution of lymphcytes
4) defense against capillaries

Q

hormone that induces maturing of T cells, in thymus

22
Q

What do T lymphocyes do

A

help B lymphocytes

23
Q

the lymphatic organ that filters blood, contains macrophages and divided by connective tissue into white and red pulp

24
Q

lymphatic organ, filters air and is located in the pharynx

25
lymphatic organ, filled with mactophages and lymphocytes, and is important for inflammatory responses and adaptive memory, detecting and killing invading microbes
Lymph nodes
26
important for inflammatory responses and adaptive memory, detecting and killing invading microbes
macrophages
27
lymphatic organ, concentration of lymphoid tissues without capsule
lymphatic nodules
28
lymphatic organ, in intestinal walls and known as the "tonsils" of the appendix
Peyer patches
29
killing or removing foreign substances, pathogens, or cancer cells from the body
Immunity
30
2 branches of immunity
1) Innate 2) Adaptive
31
branch of immunity, fully functional without previous exposure to pathogen
Innate
32
branch of immunity, initiated when exposed to a pathogen (vaccine, get disease, antibodies)
Adapted
33
First line of defense for keeping pathogens out
skin, tears and saliva, ear wax and mucus, stomach, vagina, resident bacteria, urination, defecation, vomiting
34
Second line of defense for keeping pathogens out
phagocytic cells, inflammation, natural killer cells, compliment proteins, interferons, fever response, histamine
35
Immune defense, dilates blood vessels, makes them leaky and causes compliment proteins to release
Histamine
36
Immune defense, plasma proteins that invade bacteria when activated pokes hole in cell walls of bacteria, inflate and explode them
Compliment proteins
37
Immune defense, antiviral proteins
Interferons
38
Immune defense, a type of lmphocyte that attacks tumor cells and virus infected cells
natural killer cells
39
Immune defense, redness, warmth, swelling, pain
Inflammation
40
Immune defense, white blood cells that surround and engulf invading bacteria
Phagocytic cells
41
Types of phagocytic cells (3)
Neutrophils, macrophages, eosinophils
42
any substance that triggers an immune response
antigens
43
has memory and remembers initial exposure and responds more quickly and aggressively on subsequent exposures
Immune response
44
Protein made by B lymphocytes that bind with and neutralize specific antigens
Antibodies
45
directly attack foreign cells
T lymphocyes
46
a strategy for causing the body to develop immunity to a specific pathogen
immunization
47
immunization, intentionally exposing person to a form of antigen that doesn't produce disease (vaccine)
Active
48
Immunization, administer protective antibodies to a person
Passive
49
disorder, inability of immune system to distinguish self from non celf cells, body attacks iself
autoimmune diseases
50
Autoimmune disease, inflamed connective tissue
Lupus
51
Autoimmune disease, inflamed synovial membrane
Rheumatoid arthritis
