18
Q

Where does the right lymphatic duct drain into?

A

Right subclavian vein

19
Q

What does the left lymphatic duct drain?

A

Left side f the upper body ( head, neck chest, upper limb) + lower body from ribs down

20
Q

Where does the left lymphatic duct drain to?

A

Left subclavian vein

21
Q

What disorder is associated with the lymphatic system?

A

Lymphedema

22
Q

What is lymphedema?

A

Tissue swelling due to the inability of the lymph system to return excess fluid to the blood

23
Q

What structures are associated with immunity?

A

1.) red bone marrow
2.) thymus gland
3.) lymph nodes
4.) spleen
5.) lymphatic nodules

24
Q

List the primary lymphatic organs

A

1.) red bone marrow
2.) thymus gland

25
Q

What is the function of primary lymph organs?

A

maturation of T cells

26
Q

Where does B cell maturation happen?

A

Flat bones and epiphysyses of long bones ( red bone marrow)

27
Q

Where does T cell maturation happen?

A

Thymus gland

( pre T cells migrate from red bone marrow to the thymus where they grow into T cells)

Are the lymph nodes primary or secondary organs?

A

Secondary

31
Q

Where are lymph nodes located?

35
Q

What does the parenchyma include?

A

Cortex
Medulla

36
Q

The outer region of the parenchyma ( cortex) contain what?

A

Macrophage cells

38
Q

Within the lymph node, lymph travel along irregular channels called____?

A

Sinuses

39
Q

Lymph flows through the node though one of many (afferent) vessels and exits though __________ efferent vessels?

A

1-2

40
Q

What organ actually filters foreign substances out of the lymph?

A
