:ymphatics Flashcards
2 central lymphatic tissues
Bone marrow
Thymus
Secondary Lymph tissues
MALT, Lymph nodes, spleen
fate of B-cells
plasma cells or memory cells
fate to T cells
cell mediated immune response or memory cells
2 types of APC in lymphoid tissue
Macrophages, Dendritic cells
Location of non-encapuslated lymphatic tissue
GI, respiratory, urinary tract
presence of these in thymus indicate a problem
lymphatic nodules
non encapsulated tissue in illium
Peyer’s patches
function of non-encapsulated lymphatic tissues
trapping of antigen, lymphocyte production, destruction of antigen
location of lymph node where afferent vessels are not present
hilum
3 divisions of cortex
superificial, mid-cortex and deep cortex
primary location of T-Cells in lymph node
deep cortex
HEV
high endothelial venoule
functions of lymph node
lymph filiter, lymphocyte production, antibody production
cell origin of thymus
endoderm
