Question
Answer
Lymph   The tissue fluid that enters lymph capillaries  
🗑
Lymph capillaries are very _______ and collect _____ ______ and _____   permeable, tissue fluid, proteins  
🗑
Lacteals   specialize lymph capillaries in the villi of the small intestine  
🗑
Lymph is kept within lymph vessels by   the same mechanisms that promote venous return  
🗑
The lymph vessels from the lower body unite in front of the   lumbar vertebrae to form a vessel called the cisterna chyli  
🗑
The cisterna chyli continues   upward in front of the backbone as the thoracic duct  
🗑
Lymphatic tissue consists mainly of   lymphocytes in a mesh-like framework of connective tissue  
🗑
Lymph nodes are found in   groups along the pathways of lymph vessels  
🗑
As lymph passes through a lymph node, bacteria and other foreign materials are phagocytized by fixed (stationary)   macrophages  
🗑
Plasma cells develop from   B lymphocytes exposed to pathogens in the lymph and produce antibodies  
🗑
The cervical, axillary, and inguinal are located at   the junctions of the head and extremities with the trunk of the body  
🗑
Lymph nodules are   small masses of lymphatic tissue found just beneath epithelium of all mucous membranes  
🗑
Peyer's patches   the lymph nodules of the small intestine  
🗑
The spleen is located   in the upper left quadrant of the abdominal cavity, just below the diaphragm, behind the stomach  
🗑
The thymus is located   inferior to the thyroid glands  
🗑
The stem cells of the thymus produce   T lymphocytes  
🗑
T lymphocytes are also called   T cells  
🗑
Self-recognition   is the ability to distinguish the cells that belong in the body from those that do not  
🗑
Self-tolerance   is the ability not to react to proteins and other organic molecules or cells produce  
🗑
Immunity   the ability to destroy pathogens or other foreign material and to prevent further cases of certain infectious diseases  
🗑
Antigens   chemical markers that identify cells  
🗑
The stratum corneum of the epidermis of the skin is ___-_____ and when unbroken is an excellent ______ to pathogens of all kinds   non-living, barrier  
🗑
Natural killer cells   make direct contact with foreign cells and kill them  
🗑
How do NK cells kill foreign cells?   by rupturing cell membranes (with chemicals called perforins) or by inflicting some other kind of chemical damage  
🗑
Interferons   Proteins produced by cells infected with viruses and by T cells  
🗑
Complement   a group of more than 20 plasma proteins that circulate in the blood until activated  
🗑
Inflammation   a general response to damage of any kind: microbial, chemical or physical  
🗑
In the embryo, T cells are produced in the   bone marrow and thymus  
🗑
T cells must pass through the   thymus  
🗑
Thymic hormones bring about the maturation of   T cells  
🗑
In the embryo, B cells are produced in the   bone marrow  
🗑
B cells migrate   directly to the spleen and lymph nodes and nodules  
🗑
When activated during an immune response, B cells will   divide many times and become plasma cells that produce antibodies to a specific foreign antigen  
🗑
The helper T cell becomes   sensitized to and specific for the foreign antigen, the one that does not belong in the body  
🗑
Cell-mediated immunity   The recognition of an antigen as foreign initiates one or both of the mechanisms of adaptive immunity  
🗑
Antibody-mediated immunity   involves T cells, B cells, and macrophages  
🗑
The ______ __ ______ will remember the specific foreign antigen and become active if it enters the body again   memory T cells  
🗑
Memory B cells   remember the specific antigen and initiate a rapid response upon a second exposure  
🗑
plasma cells   that produce antibodies specific for this one foreign antigen  
🗑
Antibodies   do not themselves destroy foreign antigens, but rather become attached to such antigens to "label" them for destruction  
🗑
Opsonization   Means that the antigen is now "labeled" for phagocytosis by macrophages or neutrophils  
🗑
Chemotaxis means   "chemical movement"  
🗑
Agglutination   clumping  
🗑
Genetic immunity   does not involved antibodies or the immune system; it is the result of our genetic makeup  
🗑
Acquired immunity   involve antibodies  
🗑
Passive immunity   antibodies are from another source  
🗑
active immunity   the individual produces his or her own antibodies  
🗑
