Day 1 Flashcards
The spleen is located beneath ribs 9, 10, and 11 on the __ side of the body. It is in between the left __-diaphragm and __ cavity. If the __ is messed up, then the spleen can no longer move fluid throughout the body
left, hemi, peritoneal, diaphragm
Which is not a function of the spleen?
1) Destroy damaged RBCs
2) Metabolizes drugs
3) Synthesizes immunoglobulins
3) Clearance site for antigens, micro-organisms, and poorly organized bacteria
2 (thats the liver)
The __ is a major lymph channel for 3/4 of the body, back into circulation
Thoracic Duct
The liver is a pressure sensitive organ, affected by the muscular action of the __ diaphragm
thoraco-abdominal
The __ is largest and most active in an infant, and dies down (involutes) after puberty. It is the processing site for T-lymphocytes
Thymus
Name the tonsil
1) Located on the posterior 1/3 of tongue
2) Located at the lateral pharynx
3) Located at the nasopharyngeal border
1) Lingual
2) Palatine
3) Pharyngeal
__ is located at the medial surface of the cecum and presumed to offer support to the immune system
Apendix
__ system aids in filtration of toxins from the lungs and the GI system also has visceral lymphoid tissue
In the GI system, __ are located in the distal ilium, __ are lymphatic capillaries in each vili in the small bowel, and fats are cleared out that have entered circulation via GI system
Respiratory
Peyers patches, lacteals
__ nodes receive lymph from skin/deep tissues of upper and lower extremities/head and neck
They drain into three main groups, name them
Superficial
Cervical, axillary, and inguinal
Cervical lymph nodes from the head/supraclavicular and upper extremity drain into __ nodes
Axillary lymph nodes from infraclvicular to umbilicus drain into axillary nodes and then __
Inguinal lymph nodes from caudal to umbilicus drain into inguinal nodes and then __
Jugular
Subclavian
Lumbar
Lymph unites with one of which two ducts
Thoracic duct (75%) or right lymphatic duct (25%)
You are in the left supraclavicular region on the left side of the body, what node is located there?
Also, what is this associated with
Virchow’s node
Intra-abdominal or thoracic cancer
The thoracic duct starts off on the __ side of the body and then at the level of T-__ it moves __ of the midline and connects to the junction of the left subclavian and left brachiocephalic veins
Right side, 4, left
Which of the two ducts drains the left side of the head and neck, left arm, left side of thorax, left and right lower body, and viscera of thoracic?
Which duct drains the right head and neck, right arm, and right chest?
Thoracic duct
Right lymphatic duct
50% of plasma __ re-enter the system via lymph, so if you were to have a problem with lymph you could be malnourished
proteins
One way to move lymph is by ___ fluid pressure which has a normal pressure of ___ mmHg and hits a ceiling at 0 mmHG (when vessels collapse and obstruct flow)
Interstitial, Negative 6.3 (negative is the important part)
The __ pump works by using contraction forces to cause pressure gradients, which help move the fluid. However, when that fails, the __ pump is the only thing left which works by direct pressure on vessels to move lymph
Intrinsic
Extrinsic
What kind of system is the lymphatic system
“passive”
It is critical to start treatment at the level of the __ (thoracic inlet) which as said before, it at the junction of the duct and left subclavian vein/brachiocephalic vein
thoracic duct
ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS go back to the __ after you finish your treatment session
Name what area each treatment does
1) Upper extermity
2) Head and neck
3) Thoracic
4) Lower extremity
5) Abdomen
Thoracic duct
1) Area 3
2) Area 5
3) Area 1
4) Area 4
5) Area 2
**Note that area 3 and 4 can be reversed
The lymph system is readily effected by external compression from your __
Diaphragm
Name what region the superficial node is found in. Choose from: Head/neck, abdomen, upper extremity, lower extremity
1) Popliteal
2) Cisterna chyli
3) Cubital
4) Celiac
5) Submental
6) Superficial ingunial
7) Virchow’s
8) Deltopectorial
9) Axillary
1) Lower Ex
2) Abdomen
3) Upper Ex
4) Abdomen
5) Head/neck
6) Lower Ex
7) Head/neck
8) Upper Ex
9) Upper Ex
Which one does the lymphatic system not do?
1) Maintain homeostasis
2) Facilitate immune function
3) Transport fat from digestive system to blood
4) Aid in the movement of oxygen
5) Assist the body in removing interstitial fluids and plasma proteins
4) Aid in the movement of oxygen
The right lower body is drained by ___
Thoracic duct
Match the reason for increased interstitial fluid pressure with its cause
1) HTN
2) Hepatic cirrhosis
3) Starvation/plasma hypoalbuminemia
4) Rattlesnake poison and other toxins
a) Increased interstitial fluid protein
b) Increased capillary permeability
c) Increased arterial capillary pressure
d) Decreased plasma colloidal osmotic pressure
1) c
2) d
3) a
4) b
