23
Q

What are the 2 primary lymphoid tissues?

A

Thymus
Bone marrow

24
Q

What are primary lymphoid tissues?

A

Site of lymphocyte development

25
Q

What are the 3 secondary lymphoid tissues?

A

Spleen
Lymph nodes
MALT (Peyer’s patch, ILT, spleen)

26
Q

What are secondary lymphoid tissues?

A

Induction of adaptive immune response

27
Q

What allows enter of fluids and lymphocytes unto lymph nodes?

A

Lymphatic capillaries (afferent vessel)

28
Q

When fluid/lyphocytes enter the lymph nodes via afferent vessels where does it go next?

A

Outer cortex (contains germinal centers)

29
Q

Where do DCs go to present to T cells in the lymph nodes?

A

Paracritical area

30
Q

How do lymphocytes leave the lymph nodes?

A

Efferent vessels

31
Q

How do lymphocytes enter the Peyer’s patch?

A

Across endothelial venues on M cells (no afferent vessels)

32
Q

How do lymphocytes leave the Peyer’s patch?

A

Efferent vessels

33
Q

T/F lymph nodes and Peyer’s patch both contain DCs that present antigens to T cells in T cell areas

A

True

34
Q

T/F lymph nodes and Peyer’s patch both have B cell follicles where T cells can active naive B cells

A

True

35
Q

T/F lymph nodes and Peyer’s patch both have germinal centers that give rise to plasma cells

A

True

36
Q

T/F lymph nodes and Peyer’s patch both allow naive lymphocytes in via high endothelial venules from circulation

A

True

37
Q

T/F lymph nodes and Peyer’s patch both allow activated lymphocytes to leave via efferent lymphatics

A

True

38
Q

T/F lymph nodes and Peyer’s patch both have afferent lymphatics

A

False (only lymph nodes have afferent)

39
Q

T/F lymph nodes and Peyer’s patch both have efferent lymphatics

A

True

40
Q

T/F lymph nodes and Peyer’s patch both sample antigens directly from mucosal surface

A

False Peyer’s patch only does this

41
Q

Does vascular diameter increase or decrease in inflammatory response and why?

A

Increase = more blood flow

42
Q

Does permeability increase or decrease in the inflammatory response?

A

Increase

43
Q

Why does adhesion receptors increase expression on endothelial cells during inflammatory response?

A

Tells lymphocytes where to go

44
Q

What does clotting increase during the inflammatory response?

A

Stop spread of infection

45
Q

What 2 things cause tissue damage during inflammatory response?

A

Fluid leaking
Influx of immune cells

46
Q

Systemic immunity inflammatory response is _________ while mucosal immunity inflammatory response is _________ to invading microbes

A

Reactionary
Proactive

47
Q

Why does the mucosal immune system use a proactive response to invading microbes?

A

Constant exposure to microbes

48
Q

What is the most important thing to maintain in mucosal immunity?

A

Barrier integrity

49
Q

Why is it important to maintain the barrier integrity of the mucosal immune system?

A

Fluid leakage between two different compartments can cause complications and tissue damage

50
Q

What mechanisms does the mucosal membrane use in the proactive approach?

A

Thick mucus and IgA to prevent microbes from ever reaching the epithelium

51
Q
