🗑
The primary functions of lymph include   returing protiens to the blood stream  
🗑
The functions of the lymphatic system do not include   transporting hormones to intestinal smooth muscle  
🗑
Tissue fluid is __ and lymph is__.   forced out of blood plasma and generally lacking in proteins absorbed into the lymph capillaries.  
🗑
Stephanie has her cancerous right breast removed, and the surgeon also removes lymph nodes in the axillary region, to prevent spread of the cancer. As a result, Stephaine's right arm   become edematous  
🗑
The region of a lymph node through which blood vessels and nerves pass is called the   hilum  
🗑
The lymph nodes of the axillary region receive lymph mainly from the   upper limb and mammary gland  
🗑
Lymph nodes are grouped throughout the body except in the   the CNS  
🗑
The supratrochlear lymph nodes are located near the   elbow  
🗑
A lymph node consists of   lymphocytes  
🗑
Cells in a lymph node that engulf and destroy damaged cells, foreign substances, and cellular debris are   macrophages  
🗑
Henry has a cut on his thigh that becomes infected. The lymph nodes in his ___ enlarge.   inguinal region  
🗑
The spleen   functions as blood reservior largest lymphatic organ, has nodules, and phagoctic cells  
🗑
T lymphocytes mature in the thymus in response to   Thymosins  
🗑
The tissues of the spleen are called   red and white pulp  
🗑
Innate defenses are   fast and non-specific  
🗑
A virus differs from other pathogens in that it is   not capable of reproduction outside a living cell  
🗑
Inflammation is a response to   heat, infection, chemical exposure, ultravoilet light  
🗑
The mononuclear phagocytic system includes   monocytes, macrophages, neutrophils  
🗑
Interferon is a group of hormonelike peptides that cells produce in response to   viruses  
🗑
The most active phagocytic cells in circulating blood are   neutrophiles and moncyetes  
🗑
Interleukin-1 secreation causes   a fever  
🗑
Marsha gets a splinter in her finger. What is her blody's respones to any microbe that might try to enter her body as result of the splinter breaking the skin?   innate defense  
🗑
which of the following is not a mechanical barrier against microorganisms?   diarrhea  
🗑
___ initiate(s) a cascade effect in response to foreign proteins in the body.   the complement system  
🗑
Low-grade fever is an effective defense for short periods of time because it   has phaogocyte cells that attack harder when the temp. rises, therefore a quick low-grade fever will be more affective then a long term.  
🗑
An immune response that is slower but more specific for the pathogen is the   adaptive defense  
🗑
A transplant recipient's body recjects a transplanted organ because her___ her does not match that of the donor closely enough.   major histocompatibility complex  
🗑
Which of the following is part of the adaptive immune response?   production of antibodies  
🗑
Drugs used to reduce the tissue rejection reaction following the transplantation of tissue form one person to another   dampen the recipients immune response  
🗑
The cells that are primarily responsible for immunity are   lymphocytes and macrophoages  
🗑
A transplant recipient may be able to eventually discontinue immunosuppressant drugs if   the donor received a well matched transplant from the recipient  
🗑
T lymphocytes are responsible for   they are killer cells. they kill bacteria that enter your body  
🗑
The most abundant type of immunoglobulin is   IgG  
🗑
The type of resistance that is acquired as a result of developing a disease is   naturally aquired active immunity  
🗑
which of the following are cytokines?   colony stimulating factors, interferons, interleukins, tumor necrosis factors  
🗑
The antibodies produced in allergic reactions   both B cells and T cells  
🗑
Following a primary immune respones, the cells that give rise to memory cells are   both B cells and T cells  
🗑
Cytotoxic T- cells destroy   cancer cells and virus- containing cells  
🗑
Cytotoxic T- cells destroy their target cells by releasing perforin, which cuts holes in   cell membranes  
🗑
A newborn is protected against certain digestive and respiratory thanks to IgA from the mother's   milk  
🗑
Injections of gamma globulin are sometimes given to provide   artificially acquired passive immunity  
🗑

🗑
An antigen is ___, whereas an antibody is___.   a hepten molecule that is quite complicated in shape; an enzyme that is produced by the thymus gland to neutralized antigens  
🗑
Complement proteins, which are activated when IgG or IgM antibodies bind antigen,   causing opsonization, which coats the antibody antigens complexes in a way that attracts phagocytes.  
🗑
plasma cells   produces antibody molecules  
🗑
A pimary immune respones___, and a secondary immune respones____.   produces anitbodies within five to ten days of exposure to antigens; produces antibodies within a day or two of a subsequent exposure to the same antigen  
🗑
In the cellular immune response   T- cells attach directly to antigens and destroy them  
🗑
A vaccine produces its effects by   stimulating a primary immune response
