SHORT ANSWER Compare and contrast lymphatics capillaries to blood capillaries.   lymphatic capillaries are more permeable (endothelial cells are not tightly joined - minivalves vs. blood capillaries that have tight junctions/gap junctions), are very wide spread; not present in RBM, bones, entire CNS  
🗑
SHORT ANSWER List and briefly describe the four general properties of immunity.   1) Specificity: activated by and responds to a specific antigen 2) Versatility: ready to confront any antigen it has encountered 3) Memory: "remembers" any antigen it has encountered 4)Tolerance: responds to foreign substances by ignores normal tissues  
🗑
SHORT ANSWER List and briefly describe the components of the lymphatics system.   Lymph vessels, lymph nodes, tonsils, spleen, thymus. All function to drain fluid & protein, transport fats, make lymphocytes (immunity) of which B lymphocytes transform into plasma cells that make antibodies that fight infection  
🗑
SHORT ANSWER What are the primary functions of the respiratory system?   1) to move air to and from the exchange surfaces of the lungs, 2) to provide an area for gas exchange between air and circulating blood 3) to protect respiratory surfaces from dehydration and environmental variations  
🗑
SHORT ANSWER How would you justify the statement, "bronchioles are to the respiratory system as arterioles are to the cardiovascular system."   Smooth muscle tissue in bronchiole/arterioles control structure diameters. As vasodilation/vasoconstriction of arterioles regulate blood flow/distribution, bronchodilation/broncholconstriction control amt of resistance to air flow/distrib. of air in lungs
