LYMPHATIC SYSTEM Flashcards
type of lymphatic tissue wherein immuno competence/maturity of lymphatic cells happens
PRIMARY LYMPHATIC TISSUES
type of lymphatic tissue where immune responses occur
SECONDARY LYMPHATIC TISSUE
what organs are present in our primary lymphatic tissues; where immature T cells migrate to proliferate and begin to mature
THYMUS & RED BONE MARROW
largest single mass of lymphatic tissue
SPLEEN
part of the spleen consisting mostly of lymphocytes and macrophages
WHITE PULP
part of the spleen consisting mostly of blood filled venous sinuses and splenic cords
RED PULP
stage of phagocytosis that is the chemically stimulated movement of phagocytes to a site of damage
CHEMOTAXIS
stage of phagocytosis that is the attachment of phagocyte to the microbe or other foreign material
ADHERANCE
stage of phagocytosis wherein the the plasma membrane of the phagocyte extends projections called pseudopods, that engulf the microbe
INGESTION
type of immunity that does not discriminate, has no memory
INNATE
type of immunity that is created in response to exposure to a foreign substance
ADAPTIVE
type of immunity that has a slow response time
ADAPTIVE
type of immunity that can’t remember
ADAPTIVE
type of immunity that can’t react with equal potency upon repeated exposure to the same pathogen
INNATE
cardinal sign of inflamation that is the redness
RUBOR
