🗑
What makes up the lymphatic system   lymph (tissue fluid); lymph vessels; lymph nodes & nodules; spleen; thymus gland  
🗑
What are macrophages   reticuleoendothelial (RE) cells - phagocytize foreign materials in blood & old RBCs which forms bilirubin which is excreted by liver

🗑
What are "Self" antigens   are not foreign  
🗑
What are "Non-Self" antigens   cells that are recognized as foreign and destroyed (viruses, bacteria, fungi, protozoa, bacterial toxins)  
🗑
Name the gamma (immune) globulins   IgG, IgA, IgM, IgD, IgE  
🗑
What is "Passive Immunity"   antibodies acquired from another source. Ex- 1)placental transmission of antibodies (naturally); 2) antibodies in breat milk (naturally); 3) gamma globulin injections (artificially)  
🗑
What is "Active Immunity"   antibody production within ones self Ex: 1) vaccinations (artificially); 2) exposure to pathogens (naturally) [note - adaptive has memory]  
🗑
When do we stop calling a tissue fluid and call it lymph   When it enters the lymph vessels (capillaries)  
🗑
Bacteria   Do not need to enter a cell to replicate  
🗑
Viruses   Need to enter cell in order to replicate  
🗑
IgA   in saliva, mucus, tears, breast milk - protects mucous membranes on body surfaces, provides immunity for newborn  
🗑
IgG   in blood plasma - major antibody in primary and secondary responses  
🗑
IgE   produced by plasma cells in mucous membranes and tonsils - binds to mast cells and basophils causing release of histamine, responsible for allergic reactions  
🗑
"Still disease" is another name for   Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis  
🗑
Lymph tissue creates what 2 kinds of white blood cells   Lymphocytes & Monocytes  
🗑
Lymphocyte nodes and nodules are made up of lymphatic tissue which produce 2 kinds of white blood cells called   Lymphocytes & Monocytes  
🗑
If a cell is fixed is it moving or not moving   Not moving  
🗑
Fixed cells and lymph nodes & nodules that produce antibodies are called   Plasma cells  
🗑
Lymph nodes can be found around the pathways of lymph vessels and below the epithelial of all mucous membranes - True or false   False - Only Lymph NODULES are found under mucous membrane  
🗑
Fixed cells that phagocytize pathogens are called   Macrophages  
🗑
What is the mechanism called that moves lymph nodes by compression   Skeletal muscle pump  
🗑
The spleen produces 2 kinds of white blood cells which are called   Lymphocytes & Monocytes  
🗑
The macrophages of the spleen are also called a different name because they phagocytise red blood cells called   RE cells  
🗑
The macrophages of the spleen that phagocytise old red blood cells forms what compound which is excreted by the liver   Bilirubin  
🗑
T Cells are produced by what white blood cell from the thymus   Lymphocytes  
🗑
How do you define immunity   The ability to fight off pathogens now and in the the future  
🗑
Immunity develops the type of lymphocytes that become very specific to a foreign antigen - these are called what 2 kinds   T cells and B cells  
🗑
Antibodies are made up of what and can also be called what   Made up of proteins and can be called immune globulins or gamma globulins  
🗑
Antigens are chemical markers that identify a cell as one of 2 things   Self and Non-Self (foreign)  
🗑
Natural cells are identified to eliminate foreign cells by damaging what part of the foreign cell   Mucous membrane  
🗑
If you were recovering from a disease would this provide you with natural or artificial immunity and would it be active or passive   Natural; active (you make your own antibodies)  
🗑
Antibodies bind to pathogens and cause clumping called   Agglutination  
🗑
Some animal viruses do not cause diseases in people because we have what kind of immunity   Genetic immunity  
🗑
