A&P11-Class Notes P30 Lymphoid Organs-Lymph Nodes & Spleen

        Help!  

Question
Answer
Lymphoid organs include:   5-L nodes, tonsils, Peyer's patches, spleen & thymus  
🗑
L organs consist of:   diffuse tissue and follicles  
🗑
Lymph Nodes are what shape:   oral or bean; one side concave  
🗑
concave side is called   hilus  
🗑
Lymph nodes are located   along length of the lymphatics  
🗑
L. nodes range in size   from 1 to 25 mm in length (.04 to 1.0 inch)  
🗑
The hilus is the point where:   BV's and Efferent L vessels leave the node  
🗑
Nodes are covered by a fibrous:   CT capsule that has extensions which project into the node.  
🗑
Trabeculae are the   extensions that project into the node  
🗑
Stroma is   the framework of a node  
🗑
Framework of a node (storma) consists of:   3 hilus, trabeculae and CT capsule  
🗑
Flow of lymph thru node is:   lymph enters the convex side thru Afferent vessels.  
🗑
lymph moves from convex side thru nodes and exits:   at the hilus via the Efferent vessels  
🗑
Afferent/Efferent Vessels-which is less/why   fewer Efferent (exit) vessels; slows lymph  
🗑
slow movement of fluid thru node because   more time for defensive actions  
🗑
L Node has 2 regions:   cortex & medulla  
🗑
Cortex is what layer?   outer  
🗑
Medulla is what layer?   inside  
🗑
Outer layer of densely packed follicles is which layer?   cortex  
🗑
Which layer has germinal centers:   cortex has germinal centers  
🗑
Germinal centers are loaded w/   proliferating B-cells, which divide by mitosis to form plasma cells  
🗑
Dendratic cells encapsulate the   folicles of the cortex  
🗑
inner cortical layer is primarily:   t-cells  
🗑
The inner layer of L. nodes is called:   Medulla or medullary  
🗑
Medulla shape is defined by:   medullary cords extending from cortex.  
🗑
medularry is composed of   lymphocytes and plasma cells  
🗑
The splees is often described as:   blood rich  
🗑
largest lymphoid organ is:   spleen-size of fist (5" or 12 cm)  
🗑
Spleen is on what side?   Left  
🗑
splenic refers to   spleen  
🗑
what is a site for lymphocyte proliferation   spleen is l proliferation site  
🗑
located in L abdominal:   cavity below diaphragm  
🗑
Spleen has a hilas on   concave surface  
🗑
Hilas is the entry/exit for:   splenic artery/vein  
🗑
Lymphocytes monitor spleen why?   part of defense  
🗑
Spleen extracts aged:   RBC's & platelets from blood  
🗑
What removes debris, toxins, bacteria,ect...from blood:   spleen  
🗑
The spleen is the site of what in fetus:   RBC production  
🗑
Where in the body are blood platelets stored:   spleen stores platelets  
🗑
Spleen also stores breakdown prodcuts of:   RBC's, such as iron  
🗑
Structure of spleen-surrounded by:   fibrous capsule (wraps outer surface)  
🗑
Trabeculae extend: (in spleen)   inward  
🗑
What structure contains lymphocytes and macrophages   spleen has lymphocyles & macrophages  
🗑
White Pulp areas of spleen are:   really aggregations of lymphocytes  
🗑
Lymphocytes in spleen are suspended on:   reticular fibers that surround a central artery  
🗑
In spleen all splenic tissue that is not white pulp is:   red pulp  
🗑
Red Pulp includes:   venous sinusoids (blood sinusoids) and the splenic cords  
🗑
splenic cords are AKAe   cords of Billroth  
🗑
Splenic cords are the supporting:   FRAMEWORK of reticular CT known as cords of Billroth  
🗑
