Lymphatic System
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| lymphatic structure that can remove pathogens from lymph or start an immune response | The Node |
| The major lymphatic collecting duct(s) in the body empty lymph into the bloodstream, usually near | the right and left subclavian veins in the thoracic cavity |
| Substances found in fluid that has leaked out of blood capillaries into the spaces between cells are called ____________ and are often rich in _________. | Interstitial fluid; nutrients |
| What is the driving force moving lymph through the lymphatic vessels and nodes | Skeletal Muscle |
| best describes the condition called edema | Swelling of tissues with fluid |
| best describes a disease-causing agent | pathogen |
| The cause of pain at a site of inflammation is | excess fluid from leaky vessels |
| The type of lymphocyte that triggers a strong immune response upon exposure to a known antigen is called a: | memory B cell |
| The name of the lymphatic organ that filters lymph and worn-out RBCs | Spleen |
| The term that best describes naturally acquired active immunity is: | long-lasting |
| blood vessels dilate so quickly that blood pressure drops too quickly for organs to adjust. The result of anaphylaxis is: | hypotension |
| Where are B cells and T cells found | Blood, Lymph nodes, spleen, and thymus |
| Immunity types are | Naturally Active & Passive ; Artificially Active & Passive |
| Examples of immune system disorders include | HIV, Aids, Cancer, Allergies |
| word meaning "not a significant threat to health" is | benign |
| Tumor types may include | cancerous, malignant, benign, harmless mass |
| The leading killer of all types of cancer for all people is | lung cancer |
| accepted methods of treatment for cancer | chemo, immunotherapy, organ transplant, bone marrow transplant |
| The type of shock that is triggered by a severe allergic reaction is called: | anaphylactic |
| An effective treatment for anaphylaxis is __________, which causes ___________. | epinephrine; vasoconstriction |
| In which way does an individual develop a naturally acquired active immunity | From exposure to organisms that cause a disease |
| nonspecific body defenses utilizes enzymes in body fluids to destroy pathogens | chemical barriers |
| nonspecific body defense in which neutrophils and monocytes can leave the bloodstream to attack pathogens in other tissues is | phagocytosis |
| Which of the following results occurs in response to an infection | inflammation |
| nonspecific defense activates cells in the body to attack pathogens | Fever |
| Mucous membranes and skin are examples of which type of nonspecific body defense | Mechanical Barriers |
| nonspecific body defense do blood vessels dilate, bringing more blood to the area, which in turn brings phagocytic white blood cells to the area to attack the pathogen, proteins to replace injured tissues, and clotting factors to stop any bleeding | Inflammation |
| Which type of activated T cells prevents a person from having the same disease twice | Memory |
| Which activated T cells increase phagocytosis and antibody formation | Helper |
| immunity crosses the placenta and passes through the breast milk | Naturally Acquired Passive |
| Which type of immunity results from exposure to an antigen | Naturally acquired active |
| Which type of immunity requires injection with an antibody | Artificially acquired passive |
| Which type of immunity results simply from being human, as opposed to being a cow or plant | Species resistance |
| Which type of immunity results from having an infectious disease? | Naturally acquired active |
| Which type of immunity results from a vaccine | Artificially acquired active |
| Allergies can be treated effectively by which of the following over-the-counter medications | Antihistamines |
| causes a rapid drop in blood pressure and is a life-threatening event | Anaphylaxis |
| used to rescue a person experiencing anaphylaxis | epinephrine |
| Any factor that causes the formation of cancer is a(n | carcinogen |
| not signs or symptoms of systemic lupus erythematosus | Tender lymph nodes in the neck |
| signs or symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome | Tender lymph nodes and joint pain |
| If lymph cannot be pushed through the vessels | edema develops |
| spleen | removes aged RBC's from circulation |
