24
Q

This is a lymphatic organ that is encapsulated with red and white pulps

25
Spleen contains
Lymphocytes macrophages RBC
26
This pulp contains abundant RBC and macrophages
Red pulp
27
Contains lymphocytes
White pulp
28
It guards the entrance of the alimentary and respiratory tracts from invasion by microorganisms
Tonsils
29
Several groups of tonsils forming a ring of lymphoid tissue
Waldeyer's ring
30
The components of Waldeyer's ring
Palatine tonsils Nasopharyngeal tonsils Lingual tonsils
31
This is gut associated lymphatic tissue
Peyer's patches
32
Clusters of nodules in the ileum
Peyer's patches
33
Macrophages are in ideal position to capture and destroy bacteria preventing them from reaching the intestinal wall
Peyer's patches
34
Develop as outpocketing of developing vein from mesoderm
Lymphatics
35
Develops from endoderm
Thymus
36
The rest of the lymphoid organs develop from
Mesoderm
37
Defense of the body against disease causing agents like transplant, blood transfusion, autoimmune, allergies, aids
Immunity
38
Immunity can be divided into two
Specific or non-specific
39
These immunity response block the entry or spread of the disease
Non-specific response
40
This immunity response is very specific which is tailored to individual treat and possesses antibody mediated B cells and cells mediated t cells
Specific
41
What cell is antibody mediated
B cells
42
What cell is cell mediated
T cells
43
This is an immune response present at birth which is non-specific and does not become efficient upon the second exposure to same organism
Innate immunity or non-specific immune response
44
These include skin, mucous membrane, phagocytes, natural killer cell, inflammatory response, interferon, complement, fever
Innate immunity or non-specific immune response
45
This is an immune response following certain infection which has antigen and antibody reaction
Acquired or adaptive or specific immune response
46
It is antibody meditated immunity
B lymphocytes humoral
47
It attacks the infected cells virus cancer cells are foreign body
Cytotoxic T cell
48
Terminates normal immune response
Suppressor T cell
49
Involved in humoral immunity
B cells
50
75% of immunoglobulin and all of these are monomers
IgG
51
It crosses the placenta and weakly activates the complement system it is the most abundant
IgG
52
15% of the immunoglobulin where it has serum found in secretions
IgA
53
It is the major class of IG in secretions including peers saliva colostrum and mucus
IgA
54
7 to 10%, it has the largest size of the immunoglobulin and exist as a pentameter
IgM
55
It is the most potent activator of complement system and the first immunoglobulin to be made by the fetus
IgM
56
Less than 1% of the immunoglobuilding and exist as a monomer
IgE
57
It mediates allergic and parasitic reaction and does not fix immunoglobulin to made by the fetus
IgE
58
Below 1% exist only as a monomer main Ab on the surface of lymphocytes of newborn
IgD
