Q

What are lymph nodes?

A

Small bean shaped organs along the pathway of the lymphatic vessels

21
Q

What do reticular cells in lymph nodes do?

A

Synthesis and secrete of reticular fibers and ground substance

22
Q

What do dendritic cells do in lymph nodes

A

APC s (use MHC 1 or 2)

23
Q

What function do macrophages have in lymph nodes

A

APC

Phagocytize

24
Q

What do follicular dendritic cells do in lymph nodes

A

Not APCs

Bind ag-ab complexes and retain them on their cell surface for a long time

25
Q

What are the two layers of the cortex of the lymph node

A

Nodular cortex

Deep cortex

26
Q

Where is the B cell area of the lymph node?

A

Nodular cortex

27
Q

Where is the T cell area of a lymph node

A

Deep cortex

28
Q

What sinus does the afferent lymph enter into in the lymph node

A

Subcapsular sinus

29
Q

What sinus in the lymph node goes from the subcapsular sinus through the cortex

A

Trabecular sinuses

30
Q

Wha sinus goes from the trabecular sinus to the efferent lymph vessels

A

Medullary sinus

31
Q

Where do lymphocytes enter lymph nodes?

A

High endothelial venules (hev)

32
Q

What supplies the supporting framework for lymphocyte in the thymus

A

Epithelioreticular cells

No reticular fibers or cells

33
Q

What is the first test T cell under go in the thymus?

A

Must positively recognize self MHC

34
Q

What are a unique feature of the thymus medulla?

A

Hassalls corpuscles

35
Q

What is the second test T cells undergo?

A

Must not positively react against self antigen (negative selection)

36
Q

What are the 4 components of the blood thymus barrier ?

A

Endothelium
Basal lamina
Macrophages
Epithelioreticular cells

37
Q

What’s is white pulp in the spleen?

A

Thick accumulation of lymphocytes surrounding an artery

38
Q

What are PALS

A

Periatrial lymphatic sheath: When a branch from the splenic artery branches off it becomes surrounded by lymphocytes and the artery becomes the central artery

39
Q

What is red pulp consist of?

A

Splenic sinuses

Splenic cords

40
Q

What are splenic cords?

A

Reticular mesh works that contain large numbers of cells

41
Q

What are splenic sinuses?

A

Special sinuses with endothelial cells that allow passage in and out of the sinus

42
Q

Starting with the central artery, what is the route of blood inthe spleen

A

Central arteriole branches into white pulp and terminates into marginal sinus
Central arteriole continues and branches into straight arteries called peniillar arteries
Penicillar arteries empty into splenic chords which make it back to splenic sinuses
