Question
Answer
show lymph  
🗑
Why are lymphatic capillaries absent from bones, teeth, bone marrow and the entire central nervous system?   show
🗑
show chyle  
🗑
show lumbar, bronchomediastinal, subclavian and jugular trunks and intestinal trunk  
🗑
What collects lymph from the 2 large lumbar trunks that drain the lower limbs and from intestinal trunk that drains the digestive organs?   show
🗑
What happens when lymphatic vessels are severely inflamed causing the related vessels of the vasa vasorum to become congested with blood?   show
🗑
show by pulsations of nearby arteries, thythmic contractions of thoracic ducts and movement of adjacent tissues  
🗑
show lymphedema  
🗑
show 1) return excess tissue fluid to the bloodstream; 2) return leaked proteins to the blood; 3) carry absorbed fat from the intestine to the blood (thru lacteals)  
🗑
Which cells produce plasma cells, that secrete antibodies into the blood an recognize antigens?   show
🗑
What is lymphoid tissue mainly composed of except the thymus?   show
🗑
show macrophages  
🗑
What lives in the spaces of the network in huge numbers?   show
🗑
show T cells or B cells  
🗑
Which cells manage the immune response by directly attacking and destroying infected cells?   show
🗑
Which cells protect the body by producing plasma cells that secrete antibodies into the blood (or other bodily fluids)?   show
🗑
show red bone marrow  
🗑
What plays a crucial role in body protection and in the immune response by phagocytizing foreign substances and by helping to activate T cells?   show
🗑
What cells fibroblast-like cells produce the reticular fiber stroma?   show
🗑
show circulatory vessels, lymphoid tissues, and loose connective tissues  
🗑
What tissue consists of a few scattered reticular tissue elements and is found in virtually every body organ?   show
🗑
show follicular dendritic cells and B cells  
🗑
show When B cells are dividing rapidly and producing plasma cells  
🗑
show follicular dendritic cells and B cells  
🗑
show Peyer's patches  
🗑
What are the principal lymphoid organs in the body and where are they found?   show
🗑
show filter it  
🗑
show inguinal, axillary and cervical regions  
🗑
show filtration of lymph; initiation of an immune response when necessary; production of new lymphocytes  
🗑
Each lymph node is surrounded by a dense fibrous capsule from which connective tissue strands called what extend inward to divide the node into a number of compartments?   show
🗑
show cortex and the medulla  
🗑
show densely packed follicles, many with germinal centers heavy with dividing B cells  
🗑
What cells nearly encapsulate the follicles and abut the deeper part of the cortex, which primarily houses T cells in transit?   show
🗑
show surveillance role  
🗑
What are thin inward extension from the cortical lymphoid tissue, and contain both types of lymphocytes plus plasma cells and define the medulla?   show
🗑
show Thru a number of afferent lymphatic vessels  
🗑
show via efferent lymphatic vessels  
🗑
show buboes  
🗑
show bubonic plague  
🗑
What do the spleen, thymus, tonsils, bits of lymphatic tissue scattered in the connective tissues and Peyer's patches of the intestine have in common?   show
🗑
show thymus  
🗑
What is an important function of the spleen?   show
🗑
What 3 additional functions does the spleen perform?   show
🗑
The spleen contains large numbers of what?   show
🗑
Areas of the spleen composed mostly of lymphocytes suspended onreticular fibers are called what?   show
🗑
The white pulp clusters or forms "cuffs" around the central arteries in the spleen and appears to be islands in a sea of what?   show
🗑
What is red pulp most concerned with disposing of?   show
🗑
show the immune functions of the spleen  
🗑
show splenectomy  
🗑
show T lymphocytes  
🗑
What structures in the thymus consist of concentric whorls of keratinized epithelial cells, and are sites of T cell destruction?   show
🗑
show 1) it functions strictly in T lymphocyte maturation so does not directly fight antigens 2) the stroma of the thymus consists of epithelial cells not reticular fibers  
🗑
show tonsils  
🗑
show palatine tonsils  
🗑

🗑
What does MALT protect passages from?   show
🗑
By what week of embryonic development, does the beginnings of the lymphatic vessels and the main clusters of lymph node become apparent?   show
🗑

🗑
How can pathogens and cancer cells spread thru the body?   show
🗑
show lymphocytes (T cells or B cells); plasma cells; macrophages; dendritic cells; reticular cells  
🗑

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
