| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Is on the left. It begins in the abdomen at the level the second lumber vertebra (L2) and passes up through the diaphram and mediastinum to empty into the ( left subclavin vein). | Thoractic duct |
| 2. A group of tissues and organisms that produce "immune cells". "Absorb" excess interstitial fluid and return it to the bloodstream. "Remove" foreign chemicals, cells, and debris from the tissues. | Lymphatic System |
| They are especially concentrated in the neck, axilla, and groin. | Lymph Nodes |
| Recieves lymph from the right arm, right side of the thorax, and right side of the head and drains into the "right subclavian vein". | Right lymphatic duct |
| "T" stands for | Thymus |
| Contain the CD4 corectpor and are called CD4 cells. They begin the definsive response against a specific antigen. | Helper T cells |
| The mature B cells are called | Plasma cells |
| is located in the left upeer quadrant of the adomen below the diaphragm and lateral to the kidney. | the "Spleen" |
| A part of the immune system that produces T cells, B cells, and macrophages. | "White pulp" |
| acts as a reservior for erythrocytes, platelets, and macrophages | "Red Pulp" |
| Is largest in infancy and childhood and reaches its maximum size at puberty. | the "Thymus" |
| two masses of lymphatic tissue located at the entrance to the oropharynx. | the "Tonsils" |
| Diagnosis procedures include biopsy of enlarged node to look for Reed-Sterberg cells, x-rays, computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. | Hodgkin lymphoma |
| The infection can be viral or bacterial (usually streptococcal). | Tonsillitis |
| (hypersplenism) and reduces the number of blood cells and patelets in the bloomstream. | Splenomegaly |
| After splenectomy, patients are very susceptible to infection, but function very well without the organ. | Ruptured spleen |
| Tissue swelling die to lymphatic obstruction | Lymphedema |
| Most of this recognition is develiped prior to birth. | Discrimination |
| antibodies are called. | Immunoglobulins (Igs) |
| There are five classes of antibodies | IgG, IgA, IgM, IgD, IgE. |
| (B) is not a class of | antibody. |
| no such thing as | Inactive acquired immunity |
| Preparation to generate active immunity. | Vaccine |
| Weaken the ability of an organism to produce disease. | Attenuate |
| Process by which cells or other particles adhere to each other to form clumps | Agglutination |
| Skin graft from another person or cadaver | Allogrpah |
| Immediate severe allergic response | Anaphylaxis |
| Exaggerated abnormal reaction to an allergen. | Hypersensitivity |
| If HIV invades the brain, it causes | Dementia |
| mutate every year. This makes the developement of natural immunity and the production of a vaccine difficult, so new infections continue to occur. | 1% of HIV's genes |
| measures the quanity of HIV in the blood. | Viral load count |
| A malignancy often seen in AIDS patients. | Kaposi sarcoma |
| Virus that replicates in a hist cell by converting its RNA core into DNA. | Retrovirus |
| There is no | H cells |
| Attack is not a | T cell |
| all antibodies are | Immunoglobulin |
| Masquitoes bites cant give you | AIDS |
