Lymphatic Flashcards
(30 cards)
is a linear network of lymphatic vessels and secondary lymphoid organs.
Responsible for the fluid balance. Interstitial fluid is being filtered and brought back into the bloodstream.
It absorbs and transports fatty acids and fats from the digestive system.
It transports white blood cells and dendritic cells for the defense system of the body.
Lymphatic System
fluid needed for every cell.
Interstitial Fluid
Professional antibodies
Dendritic Cells
It is a fluid in the lymphatic system originating from the interstitial fluid that enters the lymphatic vessels. It Contain nutrients , oxygen , hormones, and fatty acids, as well as toxins and cellular waste products, that are transported to and from cellular tissues.
Lymph (Lymphatic Fluid)
These are one-way valve vessels connected to lymphatic capillaries. It transports lymph from peripheral tissues to the veins of the cardiovascular system.
Lymph Vessels
It is a lymphatic tissue, usually in clusters, separated into compartments by fibrous partitions which help defend the body against foreign substances. These are also sites of hemopoeisis (T and B Lymphocytes)
Function: Releases antibodies
There are 200 strains of bacteria tha causes sipon
Lymph Nodes
have antibodies
B-Lymphocyte
is responsible to look for destroyed cells
T-Lymphocyte
It is a mass of lymphatic tissue found above and beyond the cardiac portion of the stomach.
Spleen
site of lymphocytes
White Pulp
filters the blood
Red Pulp
These are lymphoepithelial tissues located in your mouth and throat.
It protects the body against pathogens and other potentially harmful microorganisms entering from the nose and the mouth.
Tonsils
It is located in the thoracic cavity between the trachea and sternum superior to the heart.
It serves as the site of T - lymphocyte maturation, development, and control.
Thymus
special proteins that fight off and destroy disease-causing germs.
Antibodies
foreign substance introduced into the body and causes immune response; molecules produced by the body.
Antigen
is in tissue fluid and plasma and defends against bacterial cells, viruses, and toxins and activates complement, a group of immune system enzymes.
Immunoglobulin G(IgG)
is in exocrine gland secretions (breast milk, saliva, tears) and defends against bacteria and viruses.
Immunoglobulin A(IgA)
is found in plasma and activates complement and reacts with blood cells during transfusions. (the one na nagrereact kapag mali yung blood na nareceive)
Immunoglobulin M(IgM)
can be found on surface of B cells, especially those of infants. It activates B cells
Immunoglobulin D(IgD)
is found in exocrine gland secretions and promotes allergic reactions.
Immunoglobulin E(IgE)
first defense against invaders.
refers to nonspecific defense mechanisms that come into play immediately or within hours of an antigen’s appearance in the body.
Act as physical and chemical barriers against pathogen such as skin , chemicals in the blood, and immune system cells that attack foreign cells in the body.
Innate Immunity
takes time to develop after first exposure to a new antigen. However afterward, the antigen is remembered, and subsequent responses to that antigen are quicker and more effective than those that occurred after the first exposure.
is also called specific immunity because it tailors its attack to a specific antigen previously encountered.
Acquired Immunity
develops before exposure to agents such as microbes, toxins, or other foreign substances. It involves a very specific response to pathogens.
