LYMPHATIC SYSTEM AND BLOOD TYPING Flashcards
Lymphatic system, different parts and function
Lymphatic vessels and lymphoid tissues and organs
Transport escapes fluids back to blood
Essential role in body defense
Role in digestion
Lymph
Fluid carry by lymphatic vessels and within bodily tissues
It leaks out of capillaries and is Picked up by lymphatic vessels
function of lymphatic vessels
Moves lymph back towards the heart
What moves the lymph through the lymphatic vessel?
The skeletal muscle pump by the squeezing motion of skeletal muscles
What do valves in lymphatic vessels prevent?
Backflow of lymph
Lymph nodes are and defense cells are
Filter lymph before it is returned to blood
Macrophages and lymphocytes
Macrophages
En golf and destroy foreign subtances
Lymphocytes
Provide immune response to antigens
Harmful materials that may enter lymph vessels
Bacteria, viruses, cancer cells, and cell debris
Lymph nodes or what kind of shape
Kidney shaped
Cortex of lymph node
Outer part
contains follicles that house lymphocytes
Medulla of lymph node
Inner part
Contains macrophages
What vessels do lymph enter and exit from?
Enters through afferent vessels and exits through efferent vessels
Where does the lymph enter through from afferent lymphatic vessels?
Convex side
Lymph flows through a number of…
Sinuses inside the node
What causes the flow of lymph to be slowed?
By having fewer efferent than afferent vessels to allow it good time to filter the blood
Where do lymphatic vessels collect lymph from?
Lymph capillaries
Where does the lymphatic vessels return fluid to?
Circulatory veins near
the right lymphatic duct and thoracic duct
Lymphatic vessels carry lymph towards…
And away from lymph nodes
Lymphoid organs
Redbone marrow
Spleen
Thymus
Tonsils
Peyers patches
Appendix
What are the primary and secondary lymphoid organs?
Primary is thymus and red bone marrow
The rest are secondary
Red bone marrow and what lymphocytes mature is here
Site of lymphocyte production, the b cell matures
Spleen
Filters, blood and destroys worn out blood cells
Thymus and what lymphocyte maturity is here
Produces hormones to program lymphocytes and is where T cells mature
Tonsils
Trapped and removed bacteria and other foreign material
Peyers patch
Capture and destroy bacteria in the intestine
Appendix
Reservoir for gut bacteria, and assist in bone maturation
Primary lymphoid organs bone marrow
Where hematopoietic stem cells are, and they create all blood cells
All lymphocytes developed their except for T cells
Primary lymphoid organs thymus
T lymphocytes migrate from bone marrow to here
Develop maturity in thymus
