Q

Is a soft, blood-rich organ that filters blood. It is located in the left side of the abdominal cavity, just beneath the diaphragm, and curls around the anterolateral aspect of the stomach.

It filters and cleanses blood of bacteria, viruses, and other debris.

Provides site of lymphocytes proliferation

A

Spleen

25
Q

In fetus, the ___________ is an important hematopoietic site, but as a rule the adult _________ only produces lymphocytes.

Stores platelets and RBCs

Can live w/o it but may be more prone to infection.

A

Spleen

26
Q

The _________, which function at peak levels only during youth, is a lymphoid mass found low in the throat overlying the heart.

It produces hormones, thymosin. Site of T-cell maturation

A

Thymus

27
Q

The ________ are small masses of lymphoid tissue that ring the pharynx (the throat), where they are found in the mucosa.

Their job is to trap and remove any bacteria or other foreign pathogens entering the throat.

A

Tonsils

28
Q

It resembles tonsils, are found in the wall of the distal part of the small intestine.

Capture and destroy bacteria leaving the intestine.

A

Peyer’s Patches

29
Q

Lymphoid follicles are also heavily concentrated in the walls of the ________, a tubelike offshoot of the first part of the intestine.

A

Appendix

30
Q

They are part of the collection of small lymphoid tissues referred to as___________. Includes peyer’s patches, tonsils and other small accumulations of lymphoid tissue.

It acts as sentinel to protect the upper respiratory and digestive tracts from nerve-ending attacks of foreign matter entering those cavities.

A

Mucosa-associated Lymphoid Tissue (MALT)

31
Q

The body’s defenders against these tiny but mighty enemies are two systems

Together they make up the Immune system.

A

Innate and the adaptive defense system

32
Q

The innate defense system also called the nonspecific defense system.

A

Responds immediately to protect the body from all foreign substances, whatever they are.

33
Q

These system prevents entry and spread of microorganisms throughout the body

Mounts the attack against particular foreign substances

A

The adaptive or Specific defense system

34
Q

Our ____________. Protects us from most bacteria, viruses, transplanted organs or grafts, and even our own cells that have turned against us (cancer cells).

It does this both directly, by cell attack &
Indirectly, by releasing mobilizing chemicals and protective antibody molecules.

A

Immune System

35
Q

The resulting highly specific resistance to disease is called

A

Immunity

36
Q

Is a mixture of dead or dying neutrophils, broken-down tissue cells, and living and dead pathogens.

39
Q

Reabsorbs fluid at the venous end

A

Capillary beds

40
Q

The interstitial fluid that remains behind in the tissue spaces is

Lymph Pathway

A

afferent Lymphatic vessels ~> sinuses inside the node ~> efferent Lymphatic vessels

47
Q

Inflammatory chemicals cause:

  • increase blood flow
  • capillaries also become leaky
  • Activation of nociceptors
  • chemotaxis
48
Q

Fever is caused by

A

Pyrogens

*high temp release of iron & zinc from the liver & spleen needed

The role of T-cells

A

Perform a surveillance role

51
