Question
Answer
the fluid that surrounds body cells   Interstitial fluid  
🗑
clear watery fluid that flows in lymph vessels, collected from tissues throughout the body.   Lymph  
🗑
lymphocytes and monocytes   Leukocytes found in lymph system.  
🗑
Specialized thin walled vessels through which interstitial fluid flows   lymph capillaries  
🗑
clusters of larger lymphatic vessels   lymph nodes  
🗑
Functions of the lympatic system   Drainage, absorbtion of lipids and transport to blood, protection from foreign bodies  
🗑
The path of the lymphatic system   blood capillaries-interstitial fluid-lymph capillaries- lymph vessels- lymph nodes- lymph vessels- thoracic cavity- thoracic (or lymphatic) duct- large veins.  
🗑
begin at the spaces around cells throughout the body. THin walled tubes   Lymph capillaries  
🗑
thicker walled tubes , like lymph capillaries, contain valves to allow 1 way flow.   Lymph vessels  
🗑
Collections of stationary lymph tissue. produce lymphocytes, filter lymph, trap inflamatory substances or cancerous lesions.   Lymph nodes  
🗑
special cells located in the spleen, liver, lungs, and lymph nodes. Phagocyose foreign substances).   macrophages  
🗑
specialized lymphocytes present in the nodes, produce antibodies. Formed in the bone marrow, transform into plasma cells to make antibodies.   B lymphocytes (B cells)  
🗑
specialized lymphocytes, attack bacteria and foreign cells, by recognizing foreign cell surface proteins, attaching to the cells, poking holes in them, and injecting them with toxic substances   T lymphocytes (T Cells)  
🗑
Lymph nodes in the neck   Cervical  
🗑
Lymph nodes in the armpit   axillary  
🗑
Lymph nodes located between the lungs   mediastinal  
🗑
Lymph nodes located near the crease of the crotch   inguinal  
🗑
masses of lymph tissue in the back of the throat near the oropharynx   tonsils  
🗑
enlarged lymph tissue located in the part of the throat near the nasal passage   adenoids  
🗑
Lymph tissue located in the LUQ, near the stomach, destroys old erythrocytes, filters foreign substances from the blood, activates lymphocytes, stores erythrocytes and platelets.   Spleen  
🗑
lymphatic tissues located in the upper mediastinum. plays a vital role in bodies ability to fight disease and produce immunity   Thymus Gland  
🗑
the acceptance of the body's own antigens   tolerance  
🗑
a condition where immune system fights against the body's own cell's   autoimmune disease  
🗑
foreign substances or organisms   antigen  
🗑
the body's ability to resist foreign organisms and toxins   immune system  
🗑
genetic predisposition to illnesses, present in the body at birth   Natural immunity  
🗑
primitive lymphocytes that destroy tumor cells and virally infected cells   Natural killer Cells  
🗑
immunity received by exposure to a disease, either naturally or via vaccine, which causes production of antibodies against said disease   aquired active immunity  
🗑
a substance containing modified pathogens or toxins, used to stimulate immunity to a disease or substance   vaccine  
🗑
injection of an immune serum containing antibodies produced in another animal or person, provides this   aquired passive immunity  
🗑
an antibody producing cell   plasma cell  
🗑
IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG, IgM are examples of these. Secreted by plasma cells in humoral immunity   immunoglobulins  
🗑
protein produced by B cell lymphocytes to destroy antigens   Antibody  
🗑
immune response involving T lymphocytes; antigens are destroyed by direct action of cells, not by antibodies   Cell-mediated immunity  
🗑
T lymphocyte that directly kills foreign cells   cytotoxic T cells  
🗑
cell (specialized macrophage) that ingests antigents and presents them to T cells   Dendritic cells  
🗑
Lymphocyte that aids B cells in recognizing antigens and stimulating production also known as T4 Cell, or CD4+ cell   Helper T Cell  
🗑
immune response in which B cells transform into plasma cells and secrete antibodies   humoral immunity  
🗑
Antiviral proteins (cytokines) secreted by T cells; they also stimulate macrophages to ingest bacteria.   interferons  
🗑
fluid in the spaces between cells. This fluid becomes lymph when it enters lymph capillaries   insterstitial fluid  
🗑
lymph capillaries   tiniest lymphatic vessels  
🗑
lymph nodes, spleen, and thymus gland   lymphoid organs  
🗑
stationary solid lymphatic tissue along lymph vessels   lymph nodes  
🗑
carrier of lymph throughout the body; empty lymph into veins in the upper part of the chest   lymph vessel  
🗑
organ near the stomach, produces, stores, eliminates blood cells   spleen  
🗑
lymphocyte that inhibits the activity of B and T lymphocytes   suppressor T cell  
🗑
Lymphocyte that originates in the bone marrow, but matures in the thymus gland; it acts directly on antigens to destroy them or produce cytokines such as interferons and interleukins that are toxic to antigens.   T cell  
🗑
organ in the mediastinum that produces T lymphcytes and aids in immune response   thymus gland  
🗑
large lymphatic vessel in the chest that receives lymph from below the diaphragm, and from the left side of the body above the diaphragm; it empties the lymph into veins in the upper chest   thoracic duct  
🗑
protection   immuno  
🗑
lymph   lympho  
🗑
lymph node   lymphadeno  
🗑
spleen   spleno  
🗑
thymus gland   thymo  
🗑
poison   toxo  
🗑
again, anew   ana  
🗑
between   inter  
🗑
syndrome associated w/ immune system suppression, and marked by opportunistic infections, secondary neoplasms, and neurologic problems   AIDS  
🗑
Yeast-like fungus, normally present in the mouth, skin, intestinal tract, and vagina, overgrows, causing infection of the mouth (thrush), respiratory tract, and skin   Candidiasis  
🗑
Yeast-like fungus causes lung, brain, and blood infections. Pathogen found in pigeon droppings, nesting places, air, water, soil   Cryptococcal infection  
🗑
Virus that causes enteritis and retinitis. Found in bodily fluids, such as saliva, semen, cervical secretions, urine, feces, bood, breast milk. Usually only causes disease when immune system is compromised.   Cytomegalovirus infection  
🗑
Viral infection causes small blisters on the skin of the lips or nose or on the genitals. Can also cause encephalitis   Herpes Simplex (I & II)  
🗑
Herpes Simplex above the waist   Herpes Simplex I  
🗑
Herpes Simplex below the waist   Herpes Simplex II  
🗑
