Test 2 Lymph & Immune Systems Flashcards
What is the standard emergency treatment for anaphylaxtic reaction?
Adrenaline or Epinepherine
Round nodules of lymphatic tissue within the lymph nodes are what?
Lymphoid Follicles
Once in the lacteals, where do lipid soluble compounds go to next?
Thoracic Duct
What are the names for the condition of having pus?
Purulent or Supurative
What’s the name of the inner portion of the lymphoid follicles?
Germinal Centers
These are the very first antibodies produced and will be replaced by the IgG’s
IgM
What is a very fast, very severe reaction resulting in massive swelling, mucus production, bronchoconstriction, dyspnea, and possibly sudden death?
Anaphylaxis
Macrophages, Reticular Cells, and Dendritic Cells partially digest antigens and place part of them on their cell membranes for identification by the rest of the immune system. In this function, these cells are known as what?
Antigen-Presenting Cells (APCs)
What are the principal lymphoid organs of the body which filter lymph being returned to the blood?
Lymph Nodes
What are the specialized leukocytes that keep the immune system “fired-up” or activated as long as the specific threat remains?
Inducer T-Lymphocytes
What is the organelle that consists of an engulfed cell, virus, etc.?
Phagosome
What is a series of many proteins which destroy pathogens that are marked by antibodies?
Complement
What are the specialized fatty acids that cause pain associated with endometriosis?
Prostaglandins
Other than heparin, what is produced by basophils that induces inflammation?
Bradykinin
A harmful immune reaction to antigens that usually do not cause this type of reaction is known as what?
Hypersensitivity
Specialized proteins found only on the surfaces of the cell membranes of various immune system cells known as “antigen presenting cells” that identify “self” from “non-self” are what kind of proteins?
MHC-II
Once in the thoracic duct, where do lipid soluble compounds go to next (be specific)?
Left Subclavian Vein
A major lymphoid organ which tends to regress with age?
Thymus
For the immune system, sloughed skin cells are considered to be an “___ ___?”
External Barriers
A structure rich in lymphatic tissue, that is attached to the beginning of the colon (large intestine) is what?
Vermiform Appendix
Lymphoid tissue that is found in the oral cavity, at the base of the tongue, and on the posterior wall of the nasopharynx is called what?
Tonsils
From mom’s milk, what class of antibodies keep pathogens from getting into the baby’s intestinal linings?
IgA
Once in the hepatic portal vein, where do water soluble compounds perchlorate through the detoxification process?
Sinusoids
What cells partially digest antigens and place part of them on their cell membranes for identification by the rest of the immune system?
Antigen-Presenting Cells (APCs)
