Q

what are the major functions of the lymphatic system?

A
  1. Collec9on of excess water and proteins from
    inters99al fluid.
  2. Fat transport (9ssue near small intes9ne into
    bloodstream).
  3. Short term immune responses (microorganisms
    and other substances).
  4. Development of long term immunity.

Q

What’s the purpose of a lymphatic system?

A

Water, small proteins, white blood cells can escape cardiovascular system.
Must have way to return them to cardiovascular system, or there will be fluid buildup outside in tissues.

Q

What does lymph mean

A

it basically means that it contains no red blood cells
it is latin for “clear water”

somewhat similar to blood no RBC

some proteins are too
large to escape the cardiovascular system

contains millions of white blood cells,
particularly common are lymphocytes and
monocytes.

Q

what are lymph vessels? similar to what? do not form a what? explain. how are they concentrated?

A

smallest are similar to capillaries in
construction.

do not form a circuit like cardiovascular
structures. Lymph capillaries have a
“terminal end.”

densely concentrated near surface of
body and other places where body
interfaces with external environment.

Q

how does a lymph circulate?

A

Contraction of smooth muscle in larger vessels.
Squeezing action of skeletal muscles.
Dumps into venous system; the connection “pulls” the lymph along.

Q

the thoracic duct dumps into?

A

Dumps into venous circulation at junction between left
subclavian
vein and left jugular vein. (Technically into
left brachiocephalic vein.)

20
Q

right lymphatic duct details

  • drained by?
  • dumps into what?
A

Upper right quadrant is drained by right
lymphatic duct.

It dumps into venous circulation at junction between right subclavian vein
and right jugular vein. (Technically into
right brachiocephalic vein.)

21
Q

what are more examples of lymphatic system?

A 
Lymph Nodes 
•
Tonsils 
•
Spleen 
•
Thymus Gland 
•
Pyer’s
 Patches
22
Q

what exactly are lymph nodes?
where are they scattered near by?
how long are they?
where are they mainly located?

A

concentrated masses of lymph tissue
Scattered along lymph vessels
Usually 1-25 mm in length, but they can be larger.
Greatest concentration near groin, axilla, neck, thorax, and along gut tube in abdomen. In women, near mammary glands.

23
Q

what resides in the outer (“cortex”) region of a lymph node? what’s the reason?

A

Macrophages and lymphocytes. Thus, the nodes can act as filters.

24
Q

what brings the lymph in?

A

•Afferent (entering) vessels
Lymph is filtered
through cortex.

25
Q

what is the inner collecting of lymph nodes

A

“Medulla” is the inner collecting area.

26
Q

where do the efferent (exiting) vessel leaves at

A

hilus

27
Q

define tonsils- only produce lymphocytes for?

A

Sort of like large, glorified lymph nodes, but…)
They don’t act as filters.
Only produce lymphocytes for export.

28
Q

name all the tonsils- they are _____ structures at the mouth?

A

Phayrngeal tonsils, palatine tonsils, and lingual
tonsils are defensive structures at the mouth,
entrance to digestive and respiratory systems.

29
Q

the spleen is not part of the

A

gut

30
Q

describe everything you know about the spleen

A 
largest lymphoid organ of body.
highly vascularized (perfect for a filter). 
not strictly a lymph filter, but its interaction with blood can stimulate production and action of materials normally foundin lymph.
31
Q

where does blood pass in the spleen?

A

BLOOD passes resident macrophages and

lymphocytes

32
Q

what is abundant in the spleen?

A

macrophages abundant: help to scavenge spent red blood cells and recycle hemoglobin.

33
Q

what do you know about the spleen and the antibody process?

A

antigens (nasty stuff) in blood active lymphocytes in spleen

for antibody production.

34
Q

what does the spleen do for a fetus? how about the adult in what circumstances?

A

produces red blood cells in fetus, can be called back into

action in adults under stressful conditions.

35
Q

describe location of thymus gland / has an outer ______.

A

ventral to heart and laryngeal structures.
has outer cortex (containing many
lymphocytes) and inner medulla.

36
Q

describe the fetus thymus?

A

transforms undifferentiated lymphocytes from bone marrow into Tlymphocytes
*so much bigger in one year old- why??

37
Q

what are pyer’s patches? clusters of what? common where? secrete what?

A

(also known as aggregated lymph nodes.)
clusters of lymphoid tissue without a fibrous
capsule
common in tonsils, small intestine, and
appendix.
secrete antibodies in response to antigens in
gut tube, particularly ingested viruses and
bacteria.

38
Q

explain the details of the early development of the trachea? it begins as a what? fork? (spoon) lol jk

A 
trachea is a tubular outgrowth of the	
embryonic gut.	
begins as a bud	in pharynx floor.	
each fork is called a primary	
bronchus.
39
Q

what are the germ layer derivations of the resp. system? (hint pharynx and cartilage of bronchi specifically?)

A 
As outgrowths of pharynx, lung lining is
derived from endoderm.
Cartilagenous support of bronchi is
derived from visceral arch skeleton.
Therefore, from NEURAL CREST.
40
Q

explain the development of the respiratory system? what germ layer is involved?

A

Coelom wraps around lungs (as if the lungs
were pushing into a mesodermally constructed
balloon).

41
Q

factors of the upper respiratory system

A 
Nose
Frontal
Nasal
Vomer
Ethmoid
Maxilla

Pharynx
Nasopharynx
Oropharynx
Laryngopharynx

42
Q

lower respiratory system identifiyerz

A

Larynx

Trachea
Smooth muscle
Tracheal rings
Cilia

Bronchi
Left and right
primary
bronchi
-Bronchi
Further
subdivided into
secondary
bronchi
-Further
subdivided into
tertiary
bronchi
Bronchi
Further
subdivisions
result in the
bronchial tree
43
Q

explain lung structure?

A 
Root of Lung
Note!
Because heart is displaced to left, left lung smaller
(only two lobes).
Right lung has three lobes.
(Smaller sections are called:
BRONCIOPULMONARY
SEGMENTS)
44
Q

pleural cavity of the lungs explain?

A

Subdivisions (2, right and left) of the coelom.

Peritoneal material is here called “pleura.”

45
Q

what is the pleura on the lungs called?

A

Visceral Pleura

46
Q

parietal pleua is located where?

A 
on inside of body wall and
diaphragm. 
•Costal
•Diaphragmatic
•Mediastinal
•Cupola
•Costodiaphragmatic Recess
