Q

efferent lymphatic vessels

A

lead out of a lymph node

26
Q

graft-versus-host disease

A

in bone marrow transplants, occurs when the transplanted cells mount an immune response against the recipient

27
Q

histamine

A

vasoactive mediator in granules of mast cells and is the primary cause of allergies and anaphylactic shock

28
Q

hypersensitivities

A

reacting to something that would not normally evoke a reaction

29
Q

hypothyroidism

A

underactive thyroid gland

30
Q

induration

A

a firm, raised reddened patch of skin

31
Q

inflammation

A

basic innate immune response characterized by heat, redness, pain, and swelling

32
Q

innate immune response

A

rapid but relatively nonspecific immune response

33
Q

interferons

A

early induced proteins made in virally infected cells that cause nearby cells to make antiviral proteins

34
Q

lupus

A

an autoimmune disease in which the body mounts an immune response against its own tissues

35
Q

lymph

A

fluid contained within the lymphatic system

36
Q

lymph node

A

one of the bean-shaped organs found associated with the lymphatic vessels

37
Q

lymphatic capillaries

A

smallest of the lymphatic vessels and the origin of lymph flow

38
Q

lymphocytes

A

white blood cells characterized by a large nucleus and small rim of cytoplasm

39
Q

lymphoid nodules

A

unencapsulated patches of lymphoid tissue found throughout the body

40
Q

macrophages

A

a type of leukocyte that can ingest and destroy other cells or pathogens

41
Q

mast cell

A

cell found in the skin and the lining of body cells that contains cytoplasmic granules with vasoactive mediators such as histamine

42
Q

memory T cells

A

long-lived immune cell reserved for future exposure to a pathogen

43
Q

MHC

A

major Histocompatibility Complex molecules

44
Q

monocyte

A

precursor to macrophages and dendritic cells seen in the blood

45
Q

mucosal

A

mucous membranes line body cavities that open to the outside world, including the respiratory tract, gastrointestinal tract, urinary tract, and reproductive tracts

46
Q

opsonization

A

an antibody or an antimicrobial protein binds to a pathogen, thereby marking it as a target for phagocytes

47
Q

passive immunity

A

transfer of immunity to a pathogen to an individual that lacks immunity to this pathogen usually by the injection of antibodies

48
Q

pathogens

A

disease causing agents

49
Q

phagocytized

A

process by which certain cells are able to eat other cells

50
Q

primary adaptive response

A

immune system’s response to the first exposure to a pathogen

51
Q

rheumatoid arthritis

A

an autoimmune disorder in which the body mounts an immune response against its own joint tissues

52
Q

right lymphatic duct

A

drains lymph fluid from the upper right side of body into the right subclavian vein

53
Q

S aureus

A

staphylococcus aureus is a bacterium that is commonly found in minor skin infections, as well as in the nose of some healthy people

54
Q

severe combined immunodeficiency disease (scid)

A

genetic mutation that affects both t cell and b cell arms of the immune response

55
Q

spleen

A

secondary lymphoid organ that filters pathogens from the blood (white pulp) and removes degenerating or damaged blood cells (red pulp)

56
Q

superficial lymphatics

A

lymphatic vessels of the subcutaneous tissues of the skin

57
Q

thoracic duct

A

large duct that drains lymph from the lower limbs, left thorax, left upper limb, and the left side of the head

58
Q

thymus

A

primary lymphoid organ, where t lymphocytes proliferate and mature

59
Q

tonsils

A

lymphoid nodules associated with the nasopharynx

60
Q

vaccine

A

a killed or weakened pathogen or its components that, when administered to a healthy individual, leads to the development of immunological memory (a weakened primary immune response) without causing much in the way of symptoms

61
Q

wheal and flare response

A

a soft, pale swelling at the site surrounded by a red zone
