25
lumbar lymphatic trunk drains from intestinal drains from
back abdominal cavity
26
factors assisting lymphatic flow
valves, muscular pump, respiratory pump, arterial pumping, smooth muscle contraction
27
how do valves assist lymphatic flow?
lymph vessels have more valves than veins so they help keep the lymph moving in one direction
28
how does the muscular pump assist lymphatic flow
contraction of skeletal muscle squeezes against vessels and pushes lymph up toward the heart
29
how does the respiratory pump assist lymphatic flow
breathing in creates low pressure in thoracic cavity and lymph moves into these low pressure areas
30
how does arterial pumping assist in lymphatic flow
lymph vessels run next to arteries so as blood is being pushed through the arteries that pulse pressure pushes lymph towards heart
31
how does smooth muscle contraction assist in lymphatic flow
there is smooth muscle in walls of lymph trunks and thoracic duct and peristaltic movement of vessel moves lymph toward the heart
32
lymphocytes are a type of ___ produced in the ___ and when they leave it they accumulate in ___. these cells attack and eliminate __ things in the __ as it passes through
WBC, red bone marrow, lymphatic tissue, foreign, lymph
33
two types of lymphocytes
b cells and t cells
34
B cells become ___ in the ___ when they encounter something foreign, they produce __ which then produce ___ that will attach to foreign things and simply hangout there. by attaching to it, they've __ it for __ by something else. B cells are __ for antigens
immunocompetent, bone marrow, plasma, antibodies, marked, destruction, specific
35
T cells become immunocompetent in the __ and when they encounter something foreign they kill it ___ and usually kill through process of __ and these are ___
thymus, directly, lysis, specific
36
macrophages were ___ called __ which ___ out of circulation and lots of them accumulate in ___ and are phagocytic cells. these are ___ and if its foreign they will ____ it
WBC, monocytes, diapedis, lymphatic tissue, nonspecific, phagocytize
37
basic flow of macrophages
ingest foreign things - present markers on outside of cell - activated T cell kills it
38
dendritic cells are another type of ___ cells and are __ if its foreign they ___ it and also activate __ lymphocytes to come kill them along with the __ they engulfed essentially ___ themselves
phagocytic, nonspecific, phagocytize, T, pathogen, sacrifice
39
reticular cells produce __ and they make a ___ type structure, called the __, where the other cells hang out
reticular fibers, cobweb, stroma
40

lymphocytes
41
___ are attached to the fibers of the stroma (stuck)
macrophages
42
__ are temporarily in the spaces between the fibers (movable)
lymphocytes
43

infection, damage, reticular connective, thymus, germinal
44
lymph nodes are the __ lymphatic organ and the most __ one of the body its major function is to filter __ and contain __ and ___
smallest, abundant, lymph, lymphocytes, macrophages
45
spleen is the __ lymphatic organ and its major function is to filter __ and store __ they remove aged and __ blood cells
largest, blood, platelets, defective
46
the thymus is where __ become immunocompetent and it produces __ and __ it __ have reticular cells and they are active in __ life and it ___ over time
T lymphocytes, thymosin, thymopoietin, does not, early, diminishes
47
