Quiz 1JONES
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Name functions of Lymphatic System | Immunity &Return excess fluid to interstitial space & blood stream |
| Name organs of Lymphatic System | Lymph Vessels,Lymph Nodes,Thymus,Spleen,Tonsils,Peyers Patch, |
| Lymph Vessels | One way system which Lymph flows only to the heart, elaborate system of drainage that collect excess fluid & return to bloodstream |
| Lymph Nodes | "filters lymph"clusters along lymph vessels, embedded in connective tissue,act as lymph filters,help activate immune system |
| Thymus | Bi-lobed found in inferior of neck,primary function early in life, important in fetus & infants, dies off after puberty |
| Spleen | "filter blood";bloodrich size of fist; removes old RBCs from blood supply & removes, stores & produces white blood cell lymphocytes. These stored lymphocytes produce antibodies and assist in removing microbes and other debris from the blood supply. |
| Largest Lymph organ | Spleen |
| Tonsils | Simplest lymphoid organs, form a ring around Pharynx,protect the body from harmful germs & contaminants & trap bacteria and antigens and allow the body to produce antibodies against them. |
| Peyers Patch | in mucosal lining of the ileum, which is the last section of the small intestine. interact with antigens found in the intestine to produce antibodies. |
| Important forces/organs to transport lymph | Lymoph Vessels, Lymph Nodes,Tonsils,Peyers Patch & Spleen |
| "Lymph movement occurs______ | despite low pressure due to peristalsis - smooth muscle and skeletal activity (everyday activity and motion of the body). |
| very permeable because they are not pressurized the lymph fluid can drain easily from the tissue into the___________? | Lymph Capillaries |
| The largest lymphatic vessels are called__________? | ducts |
| which of the following is not a normal component of Lymph? | RBC's |
| The tonsils located at the base of the tongue are called______? | Lingual Tonsils |
| Select correct statement abt Lymphocytes | B-cells produce plasma cells; which secrete antibodies in the blood |
| Lymph collecting or pooling from the lower extremities would first pool in the ______b4 moving up. | Cisterna Chyli |
| Particularly large clusters of lymph nodes occur in all the following locations except____ | lower extremities |
| The appendix, tonsils & Peyers Patch are collectively called___ | MALT |
| Highly specialized lymph capillaries called_____are present in the villi in the intestinal mucosa | lacteals |
| The thoracic duct of lymph system empties into the______? | Left subclavian vein |
| Lymph nodes have more______lymphatic vessels than______lymphatic vessels. | afferent, effent |
| Tonsils have blind-sided structure called_________? | Crypts |
| Lymphatic_____ are formed from the union of the largest collecting vessels. | trunks |
| Receives Lymph from most of the body? | thoracic duct |
| Protein containing fluid w/in the lymphatic vessels | Lymoh |
| stores blood platelets | Spleen |
| small organs intimately associated with lymphatic vessels | lymph nodes |
| Isolated clusters of Lymph follicles found in the wall of small intestines | Peyers patches |
| Name 3 areas where lymph nodes are densely clustered | axillary, cervical & inguinal |
| what name of terminal duct draining most of the body? | thoracic duct |
| smallest Leukocyte | lymohocytes |
| largest Leukocyte | Monocyte |
| whole blood is composed of plasma &____? | formed elements |
