Q

What happens in a primary immune response

A
  • widespread inflammatory response to a first exposure to a pathogen - you body creates antibodies to fight against the pathogen

Q

what happens in a secondary immune response

A
  • exposure to a pathogen for a second time only causes a small response by the body because the body has already created antibodies to fight it

Q

What is humoral immunity

A

32
Q

why must the cardiovascular system have been formed before we can do lymphoid embryogenesis

A

because they form from LEC (Lymphatic endothelial cells) that leave from blood vessels

33
Q

What is the process of development of lymph nodes

A
  1. LECs leave the blood vessels 2. those LECs and groups of mesenchyme aggregate to form lymph sacs 3. This forms lymphatic nodules 4. The nodules become surrounded by sinuses, with mesencyhme completing the lymph node 5. Lymphatic cells migrate from mesenchyme, thymus, and bone to fill the sinus’ and forming the lymph node 6. a caspule forms around the lymph node and trabecula invaginate and comparmentalize the lymph node

Q

What is vasculogenesis

A

the formation of blood or lymph vessels in a place where there were once no vessels

38
Q

When does vasculogenesis mostly occur

A

mostly in embryonic phases

39
Q

What is angiogenesis

A

one vessel budding or sprouting off of another existing vessel

40
Q

Which usually happens first in lymphoid embryogenesis angiogenesis or vasculogenesis

A

vasculogenesis

41
Q

How many thoracic ducts are there in the lymphatic system

42
Q

What are the three thoracic ducts of the lymphatic system

A

Right thoracic duct left thoracic duct common thoracic duct

43
Q

how do the lymphatic thoracic ducts form

A

the right and left thoracic ducts form as a connection between the jugular lymph sacs and the cisterna chyli. then anastomosis causes the two ducts to combine and form the common thoracic duct.

44
Q

what is anastomosis

A

the combining of things

45
Q

which is the most mature of the thoracic ducts

A

the common thoracic duct

46
Q

from where does the spleen form

A

from an aggregation of mesenchyme in the dorsal mesogastrium

47
Q

from where does the palatine tonsils form

A

the 2nd pharyngeal pouch

48
Q

from where do the tubal tonsils, pharyngeal tonsils, and lingual tonsils form

A

from aggregations of lymph nodules in the respective locations

49
Q

how common are congential abnormalities of lymph structures

50
Q

what are the two types of congenital abnormalities of lymph structures

51
Q

what is congenital lymphedema

A

diffuse swelling in part of the body

52
