Lymphatic and Immune Systems
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Clear watery fluid that surrounds body cells and flows in system of lymph vessels throughout the body. Originates in bloodRich in WBC lymphocytes and monocytes | LYMPH |
| What flows in lymph capillaries and vessels | Lymph |
| liver, spleen, thymus and nodes | Lymphatic Organs |
| Transports proteins and fluid that have leaked back to the bloodstream | Lymphatic System Functions |
| Protect the body by mounting a cellular attack on foreign cells and organisms | Lymphocytes and monocytes |
| Begin at spaces around cells throughout the body and are THIN-WALLED tubes | Lymph capillaries |
| Carry lymph from tissue spaces to larger lymph vessels | Lymph capillaries |
| Have THICKER walls than those of lymph capillaries. contain valves so lymph flows in only 1 direction. | Lymph Vessels |
| Lymph vessels flow in what direction? | TOWARD THORACIC CAVITY |
| Located in lymph nodes as well as in the spleen, liver and lungs, they phagocytose (swallow) foreign substances | MACROPHAGES |
| Produce antibodies | B Lymphocytes (B Cells) |
| Attack bacteria and foreign cells | T Lymphocytes (T Cells) |
| What is in the cervical, axillary (armpit) mediastinal, and inguinal regions of the body? | LYMPH NODE CONCENTRATION |
| Enlarged lymph tissue in the part of the throat near the nasal passages (nasopharynx) | ADENOIDS |
| This organ NOT essential to life, and located in the left upper quadrant of the abdomen, next to the stomach | SPLEEN |
| dESTROYS OLD RED BLOOD CELLS, FILTERS MICROORGANISMS AND OTHER FOREIGN MATERIAL OUT OF THE BLOOD | SPLEEN |
| Stores blood, especially erythrocytes and platelets | SPLEEN |
| Located in the upper mediastinum between the lungs. | THYMUS GLAND |
| Provides immunity in fetal life and in early years of growth | THYMUS GLAND |
| Early in development, in the thymus, lymphocytes learn to recognize and accept the body's own antigens as "self" or friendly. This is known as? | TOLERANCE |
| Specialized to defend the body against antigen such as toxins, bacterial proteins, or foreign blood cells. | IMMUNE SYSTEM |
| The body's ability to resist foreign organisms and toxins that damage tissues and organs | IMMUNITY |
| Genetic predisposition, Inhereted and present at birth to fight off infection with "NO PRIOR EXPOSURE" TO antigens | NATURAL IMMUNITY Phagocytosis Macrophages Natural Killer Cells (NK) |
| by contracting a disease, by vaccination, or stem cell transplant Having an infection | ACQUIRED IMMUNITY ACTIVE |
| Only active for a certain amount of time, antitoxins, antibodies from mother Immunoglobins | ACQUIRED IMMUNITY PASSIVE |
| These originate from bone marrow stem cells and produce antibodies when exposed to specific antigens: viruses, bacteria | T CELLS |
| Originate from stem cells in the bone marrow, but are processed in the thymus gloand with thymic hormones | T CELLS |
| When ______ encounters an antigen, it multiplies rapidly to produce specific types of cells that destroy the antigen | T CELL |
| ____ is the use of antibodies, B cells and Tcells treat disease such as cancer | IMMUNOTHERAPY |
| ____ Antibodies created in a laboratory cloning technique, designed to attack specific cancer cells | MONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES (MoAb) |
| Antigens from tumor cells, May be injected or given as a nasal spray | VACCINES |
| In ______ , T lymphocytes from a donor can replace a patient's immune system with new cells that recognize tumor cells as foreign and kill them | TRANSFER OF IMMUNE CELLS BONE MARROW TRANSPLANTATION |
| Lymphocyte that originates in the bone marrow and transforms into a plasma cell to secrete antibodies | HELPER T CELL |
| Which is the formation of antibodies and lymphocytes after exposure to an antigen? | ACQUIRED IMMUNITY |
| protection | IMMUN/O |
| lymph node | LYMPHADEN/O |
| again, anew | ANA- |
| armpit | AXILL/O |
| Formation of a cell | -CYTOSIS |
| protein | -GLOBULIN |
| enlarge | MEGALY- |
| Resembling | -OID |
| deficiency | -PENIA |
| protection | -PHYLAXIS |
| formation | -POIESIS |
| TO SET; PERTAINING TO STANDING OR POSITIONED | -STITIAL |
| to stop | -SUPPRESSION |
| What is the formation of lymph? | LYMPHPOIESIS |
| Interstitual fluid is. | FLUID THAT SURROUNDS BODY CELLS |
| Pertaining to poison | TOXIN |
| A node is | COLLECTION OF STATIONARY LYMPH TISSUE |
| Name 2 locations of lymph tissue that will increase its size with infection | TONSILS, AXILLARY, INGUINAL, CERVICAL |
| Where are the adenoids located? | IN NASOPHARYNX |
| Where are the tonsils located and what is the function of a tonsil? | IN THE BACK OF OROPHARYNX FILTERS AIR, TRAPS BACTERIA |
| What is the name of the organ near the stomach that produces and stores and eliminates worn out RBC | SPLEEN |
| What are helper T cells? | A LYMPHOCYTE THAT AIDS B CELLS AND T CELLS IN RECOGNIZING ANTIGENS AND STIMULATE ANTIBODY PRODUCTION |
| What is the purpose of a vaccine and name different types of immunity. | CONTAIN ANTIGENS THAT STIMULATE T CELLS TO RECOGNIZE AND KILL CANCER CELLS. NATURAL IMMUNITY (inhereted and thr @ birth)no prior exposure ACQUIRED IMMUNITY (vaccinations)after infection T and B cells |
