Q

What is the function of memory cells?

A

They wait for a second infection of the same antigen that originally caused their formation. The immune response is more rapid the second time the body is exposed to the antigen.

Q

Lymph fluid re-enters the bloodstream via what large lymph vessel near the heart?

A

Thoracic duct.

15
Q

What organs are part of the lymphatic system?

A

Lymph nodes, spleen, thymus, tonsils, and gut associated lymph tissue(GALT)

16
Q

what are the 4 primary functions of the lymphatic system?

A

Removal of excess tissue fluid, waste material transport, filtration of lymph, and protein transport,

16
Q

What provides a rapid response to foreign invaders?

A

Nonspecific Immunity

17
Q

What is Cell-Mediated Immunity?

A

The function of T cells that attach to antigenic sites on the surfaces of foreign cells.

18
Q

What are Suppressor T Cells?

A

These cells inhibit helper T cell and cytotoxic T cells function by negative feedback. They prevent B cells from transforming into plasma cells.

19
Q

What is special about cells in the white pulp of the spleen.

A

They can clone themselves during an immune response.

20
Q

What does GALT satnd for?

A

Gut associated lymph tissue.

22
Q

What are tonsils?

A

noduals of lymphoid tissue that are not covered with a capsule.

23
Q

What type of white blood cell is this

A

monocyte

25
Q

What is active immunity

A

Activation of the immune system by administration of a vaccine that contains a modified antigen or exposure to the antigen.

26
Q

What is passive immunity

A

administering antibodies that weren’t produced by the animals own immune system.

28
Q

Lymphocytes

A

B-Cells and T-Cells

29
Q

What type of cell is this?

A

Neutrophil

31
Q

Agranulocytes

A

Monocytes, Lymphocytes

32
Q

Granulocytes

A

Neutrophils, Basophils, Eosinophils

33
Q

What is lymph filtered by?

A

36
Q

What are the two types of immune response?

A

Specific and Nonspecific

38
Q

what does chemotaxis do?

A

Uses chemicals to attract neutrophils to the site of an infection

40
Q

What are lymphokines?

A

Chemical messengers secreted by T cells - also called cytokines

41
