Q

3 Fs of the LYMPHATIC SYSTEM

A
  1. Removal of INTERSTITIAL FLUID from TISSUES
  2. Absorbs and transports FATTY ACIDS and FATS as CHYLE from the DIGESTIVE SYSTEM

A

The ADENOID TONSILS

28
Q

3 Fs of the SPLEEN

A
  1. Acts as a filtration system for the BLOOD
  2. Recycles old RBCs
  3. Stores PLATELETS and WBCs
29
Q

What kind of CELLS does the RED PULP of the SPLEEN contain?

30
Q

What kind of CELLS does the WHITE PULP of the SPLEEN contain?

A

LYMPHOCYTES

31
Q

What IMMUNE CELLS mature in the THYMUS?

32
Q

What HORMONE is secreted by the THYMUS to facilitate IMMUNE CELL growth?

33
Q

S and F of the LYMPH NODES

A

S - RETICULAR FIBERS

F - Filter LYMPH before it is returned to VENOUS circulation

34
Q

3 REGIONS where LYMPH NODES are particularly numerous

A
  1. CERVICAL REGION
  2. AXILLARY REGION
  3. INGUINAL REGION
35
Q

Why are LYMPH NODES a common site for cancer metastasis?

A

Because everything is filtered and passes through the LYMPH NODES, making it a very easy place to spread cancer to

36
Q

How does LYMPH CIRCULATE?

A

Through SKELETAL PUMPS

37
Q

What structures in LYMPH VESSELS prevent backflow?

A

One way VALVES

38
Q

What REGIONS does the R. LYMPHATIC DUCT drain? Into which VEIN?
What REGIONS does the THORACIC DUCT drain? into which VEIN?

A

R. LYMPHATIC DUCT = R. CERVICAL REGION and R. arm, drains into the JUGULAR V.
THORACIC DUCT = Everywhere else, drains into the L. SUBCLAVIAN V.

39
Q

What is the F of INTERFERONS ?

Non-specific

40
Q

What is the F of NATURAL KILLER (NK) CELLS?

What is the F of MEMORY CELLS?

Are they a specific or non-specific defense mechanism?

A

Long-lived T/B LYMPHOCYTES that are produced following exposure to an ANTIGEN and provide IMMUNITY over many years

What is the F of GRANZYMES?

Are they a specific or non-specific defense mechanism?

Are they a specific or non-specific defense mechanism?

A

ANTIGEN PRESENTING CELLS; differentiate into PLASMA CELLS

Specific

51
Q

What is the F of PLASMA CELLS?

Are they a specific or non-specific defense mechanism?

Specific

52
Q

What is the F of ANTIBODIES?

Are they a specific or non-specific defense mechanism?

  2. SPLEEN
  3. TONSILS
  4. APPENDIX
54
Q

Where are B CELLS produced?

A

In the BONE MARROW

55
Q

Explain PASSIVE IMMUNITY

A

PASSIVE IMMUNITY is when a person is given ANTIBODIES rather than producing them in their own IMMUNE SYSTEM

56
Q

Explain ACTIVE IMMUNITY

A

ACTIVE IMMUNITY is when the body produces it’s own ANTIBODIES, may take a lot longer
