Fundamental of Body Structure Class

QuestionAnswer
The lymphatic system is a? circulatory system
The lymphatic system transports the fluid called? lymph

The primary functions of the lymphatic system are? 3. Produce lymphocytes
The primary functions of the lymphatic system are? 4. Develop immunities.
The circulation of lymph through the lymph vessels is maintained by normal? skeletal muscle contractions.
Swelling of the lymph nodes is called? lymphadenopathy.
The three groups of tonsils are the? 1. Palatine tonsils 2. Pharyngeal tonsils. 3. Lingual tonsils.
In these positions the tonsils form a protective ring against? harmful microorganisms that might enter the nose or oral cavity.

The functions of the spleen include? 2. Release hemoglobin (Hgh.) from the worn out erythrocytes (RBCs)
The functions of the spleen include? 3. Acts as a reservoir for blood.
The functions of the spleen include? 4. Produces lymphocytes.
The Peyer's patches are AKA? aggregated lymphatic follicles.
The Peyer's patches resemble? tonsils
The thymus is a bilobed mass of lymphatic tissue located in the? mediastinum.
The Peyer's patches are found in the walls of the? small intestines (duodenum, jejunum, and ilieum).
The Peyer's patches are responsible for preventing bacteria from? infecting and penetrating of the walls of the small intestine.
The function of the thymus is the maturation of? T lymphocytes (T cells).
The thymus reaches maximum size during? puberty and decreases in size as we age.
Red bone marrow is found in the? 1. Sternum
Red bone marrow is found in the? 2. Vertebrae
Red bone marrow is found in the? 3. Ribs
Red bone marrow is found in the? 4. Ilia
Red bone marrow is found in the? 5. The proximal and distal portions of each humerus and femur.
Red bone marrow is the site of stem cells that are ever capable of? dividing and producing blood cells (hematopoiesis).
Antibodies are immune proteins that bind to antigens and? tag the antigens for destruction by the immune system.
Antibodies are? specialized.
Specialized means that? only a specific antigen (virus, bacteria, fungus, etc.) will be attacked.
Some of these cells become leukocytes such as? 1. Monocytes (phagocytic)
Some of these cells become leukocytes such as? 2. Neutrophils (phagocytic).
Some of these cells become leukocytes such as? 3. Basophils (release histamine).
Some of these cells become leukocytes such as? 4. Eosinophils (toxins, helminths).
Some of these cells become leukocytes such as? 5. Lymphocytes (produce antibodies).
Antibody production is the only mechanism that can? defeat a viral infection.
Other B lymphocytes (B cells) become dormant and are responsible for a more? potent and rapid antibody response during subsequent exposures to the same antigen.
Lymphocytes are categorized as? 1. B lymphocytes (B cells) 2. T lymphocytes (T cells)
The B lymphocytes (B cells) mature in the? bone marrow
Some B lymphocytes (B cells) produce? antibodies.
These dormant B lymphocytes (B cells) are called? memory cells.
Memory cells are responsible for a? lasting immunity.
Types of antibodies include? 1. IgG
Types of antibodies include? 2. IgM.
Types of antibodies include? 3. IgA.
Types of antibodies include? 4. IgD.
Types of antibodies include? 5. IgE.
Ig stands for? immunoglobulin.
Administration of an attenuated for inactivated antigen is called a? 1. Vaccination.
Administration of an attenuated for inactivated antigen is called a? 2. Inoculation.
Administration of an attenuated for inactivated antigen is called a? 3. Immunization.
Booster immunizations are designed to stimulate the production of more? memory B cells.
The B lymphocytes (B cells) will develop antibodies when? 1. A person contracts a pathological antigen.
The B lymphocytes (B cells) will develop antibodies when? 2. A person is exposed to an attenuated or inactive pathological antigen.
MMR stands for? measles (rubeola), mumps (parotitis), and rubella (German measles).
Common trade name for the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine include? Priorix, Tresivac, and Trimovax.
Attenuated means that the antigen has been? cripples
Inactivated means that the antigen is? dead.
An attenuated or inactivated antigen does not cause disease but will? trigger that B lymphocytes (B cells) to produce antibodies.
OPV (IPV) stands for? oral (inactivated) polio vaccine
DPT Stands for? diphtheria, pertussis, and tetanus.
Common trade names for the diphtheria, pertussis, and tetanus (DPT) vaccine include? DTaP -age 1-7 (Daptacel) Tdap -booster (Adacel,Boostrix)
