Question
Answer
What are the 3 functions of the lymphatic system?   Drain, Transport, Immune Response  
🗑
Drain what?   Excess interstitial fluid to the central venous system  
🗑
Transport what?   Dietary fats & lipids, and lipid-soluble vitamins  
🗑
Immune response for what?   Provide sites & mechanisms  
🗑
What are the 3 major components of the lymphatic system?   Network of vessels, organs & tissues, Lymph  
🗑
What is/are the function(s) of the Primary lymphatic organs/tissues?   Where stems cells become immunocompetent (capable of immune response), in the RBM & Thymus  
🗑
What is/are the function(s) of the Secondary lymphatic organs/tissues?   Where most immune responses occur: Lymph Nodes, Spleen, Tonsils, Peyer's Patches  
🗑
What is immunity?   Ability to prevent damage or disease via our defenses  
🗑
What is susceptibility?   Lack of immunity/resistance  
🗑
What are 2 types of immunity?   Innate (non-specific) Defenses & Adaptive (specific)Immunity  
🗑
Explain Innate (non-specific) Defenses   Defenses present at birth; always present, avail. & fast; general but similar action against ALL microbes; has no 'memory'; two lines of defense 1st & 2nd  
🗑
Explain Adaptive (specific) Immunity   Defenses devel. over time based upon exposure; specific microbe recognition; slower response due to 'memory'; involves lymphocytes (B & T Cells); AKA 3rd line of defense  
🗑
Explain lymphatic circulation   Excess fluids & plasma proteins that escaped the bloodstream are collected by & returned tot he blood @ the L & R Subclavian Veins to ensure that the CVS has sufficient blood volume  
🗑
How is Lymph formed?   The nutrients, wastes, & gasses circulating in the blood that are forced out of the blood & into the interstitial fluid.  
🗑
Where does lymph go?   It is drained into the CVS - central venous system  
🗑
How many lymph nodes do we have?   Approx. 600 scattered throughout the body, superficial & deep, usually in clusters  
🗑
What do lymph nodes do?   Filter antigens from lymph  
🗑
What cells are found in lymph nodes?   Macrophages, T Cells, B Cells  
🗑
What is the function of Macrophages in lymph nodes?   Engulf/destroy bacteria, Cancer Cells, et al.  
🗑
What is the function of T cells & B cells in lymph nodes?   Provide immune response after recognizing antigen  
🗑
Identify the function of a lacteal?   Absorb nutrition & dietary lipids AFTER digestion  
🗑
Identify the function of a chylomicron?   Transport nutrition & dietary lipids to liver for metabolism & to adipose tissue for storage  
🗑
What is Chyle?   Dietary fats & lymph fluids (milky white)  
🗑
How is lymph transported & circulated?   Skeletal muscle "pump"(milking), Respiratory "pump"(pressure changes)  
🗑
Name the Lipoproteins according to their density   Chylomicron, VLDL, LDL, HDL  
🗑
What are 4 functions of the Spleen?   Site for B cell proliferation into plasma cells, cleans blood, stores breakdown products of RBCs, site of RBC prod. in FETUS.  
🗑
What items does the Spleen clean/remove from blood?   Old/defective/dead RBCs & Platelets; debris, antigens/foreign bacteria, viruses, toxins  
🗑
Does the Spleen filter Lymph? why/why not?   No, due to no afferent (incoming) vessels thus no lymph filtration  
🗑
What are the 3 types of tonsils & their common function?   1 pharyngeal, 2 palatine, 2 lingual; respond to inhaled or ingested foreign substances/pathogens  
🗑
What are Peyer's Patches?   Unencapsulated groups(aggregations) of lymphatic follicles (nodules) located in the ileum (terminal part of small intestine)  
🗑
What is the function of Peyer's Patches?   Macrophages capture & destroy bacteria, thus preventing them from breaching the ileum walls  
🗑
What do Lymphatic Capillaries do?   Drain(pickup) excess interstitial fluid & plasma proteins that leaked out of bloodstream.  
🗑
What do Lymphatic Vessels (LV) do?   Carry lymph to/thru nodes to trunks, one way  
🗑
What do Lymphatic Trunks do?   Each of the 5 are named for & drains a specific body region  
🗑
What does the Right Lymphatic Duct (RLD) do?   Upper Righ Quadrant= Right side of head, righ upper extremity, right thorax (does NOT drain area below diaphragm)  
🗑
What does the Left Lymphatic Duct (LLD) do?   Remainder of the body (including area below diaphragm)  
🗑
What does the Cisterna Chyli do?   Located in lower extremities, narrows to become the beginning part of the LLD  
🗑
