what immune cells mature in the thymus?

A

t-lymphocytes

23
Q

what influences maturation of t-lymphocytes?

A

thymosins

24
Q

function of lymph nodes?

A

filter lymph before returning to venous circulation

25
Q

what type of ct predominates lymph nodes?

A

dense ct

26
Q

where are lymph nodes most present in clumps?

A

cervical, axillary, and inguinal regions

27
Q

why is lymph nodes common site of cancer metasis?

A

because lymph nodes filter tissue

28
Q

how is lymph circulated?

A

just like venous blood, respiratory pump and skeletal muscle pump
smooth muscle contraction

29
Q

what structure in lymph vessels prevents backflow?

A

valves

30
Q

what area is drained by right lymphatic duct?

A

right cervical, right thoracic, right arm

31
Q

what area is drained by thoracic duct?

A

lower extremeties, left upper extremeties

32
Q

what large veins do these ducts deliver lymph fluid to?

A

subclavian and internal jugular

33
Q

what is interferons?

A

SPECIFIC Proteins secreted by virus infected cells; signal neighbouring cells to protect themselves against viral infection; activate NK cells and macrophages

34
Q

what is NK cells?

A

SPECIFIC Special lymphocytes that patrol peripheral tissues; recognize and destroy abnormal cells (e.g. cancer cell or virus-infected cell) when they detect low MHC I levels on cell surface.

35
Q

what are macrophages?

A

NONSPECIFIC Large phagocytes that engulf cellular debris, foreign particles/cells; present antigen to helper T cells.

36
Q

what are inflammatory mediators?

A

chemicals secreted by cells that trigger inflammation

37
Q

what are dendritic cells?

A

NONSPECIFIC Type of macrophage found in the epidermis and mucous membranes; engulf cellular debris, foreign particles/cells; present antigen to helper T cells.

38
Q

what are cytotoxic T cells?

A

NONSPECIFIC T cells that secrete perforins and granzymes to destroy abnormal (cancer) cells, virus-infected cells and transplanted cells.

39
Q

what are helper t cells?

A

NONSPECIFIC T cells that secrete cytokines (chemical signals) that mobilize other immune cells.

40
Q

what are memory cells?

A

SPECIFIC Long lived T and B lymphocytes that are produced following exposure to an antigen and provide immunity over many years.

41
Q

what are perforins?

A

NONSPECIFIC Proteins secreted by NK cells and cytotoxic T cells that make holes in target cells.

42
Q

what are granzymes?

A

NONSPECIFIC Enzymes released by NK cells and cytotoxic T cells that induce cell death (apoptosis) by degrading cellular proteins and DNA.

43
Q

what are antigen presenting cells?

A

NONSPECIFIC Display nonself-antigens on MHC II proteins to helper T cells.

44
Q

what are B cells?

A

NONSPECIFIC Antigen presenting cells; differentiate into plasma cells.

45
Q

what are plasma cells?

A

non-specific B lymphocytes that secrete antibodies?

46
Q

what are antibodies?

A

SPECIFIC Proteins secreted by plasma cells that circulate in the blood where they recognize and bind foreign antigens.

47
Q

what are the lymphoid organs?

A

lymph nodes, spleen, MALT, thymus

48
Q

two main types of lymphocytes and where the originate?

A

t lymphocytes- thymus
b lymphocytes- bone marrow

49
Q

what is active vs passive immunity?

A

active immunity is developed due to production of antibodies in one own body
passive immunity is developed antibodies prodcued outisde then introduced into the body

50
Q

what is non-specifc immunity?

A

in place before exposure to pathogens
secretions, defensins, pyrogens, interferons, completment, inflammation
