consisting of organs and network of vessels, recovers fluid from he body, inspects it, activates immune responses

lymphoid system functions

fluid recovery, immune surveillance, lipid absorption

returns interstitial fluid back to the blood

excess filtered fluid picks up foreign cells and chemicals from the tissues, lymph nodes activates a protective immune response

fluid recovered by lymphatic vessels, originates in body tissue, filtered out by blood capillaries, clear and colorless

system in which lymph flows through

capillaries, collecting vessles, trunks, collecting ducts

lymphatic capillaries

anchoring filaments, intercellular clefts

formed of lymph and fats from the small intestine during digestion

similar to blood flow but slower, less pressure, reliant of vessel stretching

lymphatic resembling vessels in the brain, associated with neuroglia, intracerebral arteries and veins surrounded by cerebrospinal fluid and interstitial fluid

aggregation of lymphocytes in the connective tissue of mucous membranes and organs

diffuse lymphoid tissue

scattered lymphocytes, in body passages open to external environment

lymphoid nodules/follicles

lymphocytes and macrophages in dense masses, aggregated lymphoid nodules

primary lymphoid organs

where T and B cells become immunocompetent, include red bone marrow and thymus

located in acial skeleton, shoulder/hip girdle, proximal epiphysis, responsible for hematopoiesis and immunity,

superior to mediastinum, houses developing T cells, deteriorates with age

secondary lymphoid organs

where immunocompetent cells migrate to and populate, includes lymph nodes, tonsils, spleen

cleanes lymph, site of lymphocyte activation

cervical, axillary, thoracis, abdominal, intestinal, inguinal, popliteal

cencer cells travel from primary tumopr and travel to other sites in the body, spreads through lymph system

entrance to the pharynx, protect against ingested or inhaled pathogens

largest lymphoid organs, left upper quadrant, erythrocyte graveyard, stabilizes blood volume through plasma transfers to lymphoid system

HAN 202 Lymphoid

Lymphoid System

Question	Answer
lymphoid system	consisting of organs and network of vessels, recovers fluid from he body, inspects it, activates immune responses
lymphoid system functions	fluid recovery, immune surveillance, lipid absorption
fluid recovery	returns interstitial fluid back to the blood
immune surveillance	excess filtered fluid picks up foreign cells and chemicals from the tissues, lymph nodes activates a protective immune response
lipid absorption	lacteals, chyle
lymph	fluid recovered by lymphatic vessels, originates in body tissue, filtered out by blood capillaries, clear and colorless
lymphatic vessels	system in which lymph flows through
lymphatic pathway	capillaries, collecting vessles, trunks, collecting ducts
lymphatic capillaries	anchoring filaments, intercellular clefts
chyle	formed of lymph and fats from the small intestine during digestion
flow of lymh	similar to blood flow but slower, less pressure, reliant of vessel stretching
glymphatic system	lymphatic resembling vessels in the brain, associated with neuroglia, intracerebral arteries and veins surrounded by cerebrospinal fluid and interstitial fluid
lymphoid tissue	aggregation of lymphocytes in the connective tissue of mucous membranes and organs
diffuse lymphoid tissue	scattered lymphocytes, in body passages open to external environment
lymphoid nodules/follicles	lymphocytes and macrophages in dense masses, aggregated lymphoid nodules
primary lymphoid organs	where T and B cells become immunocompetent, include red bone marrow and thymus
red bone marrow	located in acial skeleton, shoulder/hip girdle, proximal epiphysis, responsible for hematopoiesis and immunity,
thymus	superior to mediastinum, houses developing T cells, deteriorates with age
secondary lymphoid organs	where immunocompetent cells migrate to and populate, includes lymph nodes, tonsils, spleen
lymph nodes	cleanes lymph, site of lymphocyte activation
lymph node locations	cervical, axillary, thoracis, abdominal, intestinal, inguinal, popliteal
cancer metastasis	cencer cells travel from primary tumopr and travel to other sites in the body, spreads through lymph system
tonsils	entrance to the pharynx, protect against ingested or inhaled pathogens
spleen	largest lymphoid organs, left upper quadrant, erythrocyte graveyard, stabilizes blood volume through plasma transfers to lymphoid system
