🗑
show lacteals  
🗑

🗑
The cisterna chyli is directly __ to the thoracic duct.   show
🗑
show 1. transport excess interstitial fluid (ISF) to CV system and urinary system (venous system); 2. transport fat from digestive system into CV system; 3. deliver an immune response-store/replicate lymphocytes and deactivate (destroy) pathogens  
🗑
show lymphatic capillaries, lymphatic vessels, lymphatic trunks (5), lymphatic ducts (2)  
🗑
show capillary beds, endothelium  
🗑
show hydrostatic  
🗑
Lymphatic vessels are similar to veins b/c both contain all 3 vessel tunics and have __ in their lumen. These __ prevent lymph from pooling in the vessel and help prevent backflow. Especially important where lymph flow is against the direction of gravity.   show
🗑
show venous  
🗑
Lymphatic vessels feed into lymphatic __ on both the right and left side of the body. Each lymphatic __ removes lymph from a specific major body region; (5)   show
🗑
Lymphatic trunks drain into largest lymph vessels called lymphatic __. There are two of these: right lymphatic __ and the thoracic __. Both of these convey lymph back into the venous blood circulation.   show
🗑
show 1. right side of the head and neck, 2. right upper limb, 3. right side of thorax  
🗑
The larger of the two lymphatic ducts is the __ __. It extends from the diaphragm inferiorly to the junction of the left subclavian and left jugular veins superiorly. It drains lymph from the remaining areas of the body:   show
🗑
show cisterna chyli, chyle  
🗑
Lymphatic vessels connect directly to lymphatic organs called __ __. Foreign or pathogenic material is filterd as lymph pass through these __ __.   show
🗑
Some plasma cells produce soluble proteins called __-binds to and damage foreign particle. Other cells (__) attack/destroy antigens directly. Other cells become __ cells, they remember past antigens and initiate faster response if antigen appears again.   show
🗑
show hemopoiesis  
🗑
Lmyphatic cells (lypmhoid cells) are found in the __ system and __ system.   show
🗑
__ are the most prevalent leukocyte in the blood and the first to arrive during the inflammatory response. __ are cells that reside in tissues throughout the body; the arrive later after response begins and stay longer than neutrophils.   show
🗑
show phagocytosis  
🗑
Lymphocytes consist of T-lymphocytes (_-__), B lymphocytes (_-__), and Natural Killers (_-__)   show
🗑

🗑
The __ is a bilobed organ that is located in the superior mediastinum and functions in T-lymphocyte maturation. Continues to grow until puberty then regresses and is replaced by adipose c.t. Max. weight 30-50g.   show
🗑
The thymus contains a __ (blood-thymus barrier) immature cells and a __ (no blood-thymus barrier) mature cells enter bloodstream.   show

🗑
The capsule of a lymph node is composed of connective tissue that both encapsulates the node and sends internal extensions into it that are called __ (w/sinus). C.T. provides pathway through which blood vessels and nerves may enter the lymph node.   show
🗑
The lymph node regions deep to the capsule are subdivded into an outer __ (sinus and nodules) and inner __ (cords and sinuses).   show
