🗑
what does lymphy look like when it has fat?   Lymph has milky appearance; called chyle G. chylos = juice  
🗑
fluid balance   3 Liters of fluid enter the lymphatic capillaries- lymphatic system prevents edema  
🗑
edema   accumulation of an excessive amount of watery fluid in cells tissues, or serous cavities  
🗑
lymphatic capillaries   begin as small "dead-end" tubes - excess fluid passes through tissue spaces & drains into lymphatic capillaries

🗑
nasopharyngeal tonsils   may be removed-interfere with breathing  
🗑
palatine & lingual   congregation site for "B" & "T" cells  
🗑
lymph nodes   1. filter lymph 2. macrophages line the lymphatic synuses; they are stimulated to reproduce by microorganisms or other foreign substances  
🗑
tonsils   highest percent of lymphatic tissue up until 25 years old  
🗑
spleen   just one spleen - left side; superior part of abdominal cavity - can be ruptured (cracks repaired using sutures & blood-clotting agents) Surgeon may wrap a mesh around it  
🗑
spleen functions (3)   1. destroys old/defective red blood cells 2. detects & responds to foreign substances in blood and 3. acts as blood reservoir  
🗑
foreign substances in spleen   white pulp has lymphocytes  
🗑
structures in spleen   hilum - trabeculae (connective tissue fibers) - white pulp (lymphatic tissue) & red pulp (fibrous network filled with red blood cells, macrophages & enlarged capillaries that connect to the veins - splenic cords (reticular cells)  
🗑
what happens if you lose spleen or don't have one???   liver takes over; but you will be susceptible to infections; dental work will need prophylactic agent - could be immunocompromised  
🗑
during exercise, blood in spleen is   reduced by 40-50% - increase in circulating red blood cells promote better oxygen delivery

cardinal signs of inflammation   redness, heat, swelling, pain & loss of function  
🗑
redness, heat, & swelling result from   increased blood flow & increased vascular permeability (which brings phagocytes to area)  
🗑
pain is caused by   swelling & chemical mediators acting on pain receptors  
🗑
loss of function results from   tissue destruction, swelling & pain  
🗑
systemic inflammation   inflammatory response in many parts of the body  
🗑
how is systemic inflammation different from local?   1. red bone marrow produces neutrophils 2. pyrogens stimulate fever production; which activates immune system & inhibits frowth of some microorganisms 3. increased vascular permeability can lead to fluid loss from blood into tissue

memory   "remember" previous encounter with bacteria  
🗑
stronger response   recognizes right away, responds rapidly & bacteria are destroyed  
🗑
antigen   (AG) substances that stimulate adaptive immunity
