🗑
right lymphatic drains lymph from   show
🗑

🗑
Capillary blood pressure   show
🗑
show The osmotic effect of these plasma proteins which helps to draw fluid back into the blood capillaries by osmosis.  
🗑
lymph formation prevents the accumulation of excess tissue fluid, or edema by   show
🗑
show contracting skeletal muscles in the limbs, contraction of smooth muscle in the walls of the larger lymphatic trunks, and pressure changes from the action of skeletal muscles used in breathing.  
🗑
show during exercise, due to the actions of skeletal muscles and pressure changes associated with breathing.  
🗑
show venous  
🗑
show The unencapsulated diffuse lymphatic tissue associated with the digestive, respiratory, urinary, and reproductive tracts  
🗑
show are compact masses of lymphatic tissue included in the MALT  
🗑
show the tonsils and appendix  
🗑
show encapsulated lymphatic tissue :a capsule of connective tissue with many fibers encloses each organ.  
🗑
show indented region of the lymph node where blood vessels and nerves join a lymph node  
🗑
show enter separately at various points on its convex surface  
🗑
show hilum  
🗑

🗑
what are contained within lymphatic nodules   show
🗑
where do B lymphocytes proliferate?   show
🗑
the medulla contains mostly what kind of cells?   show
🗑
show Spaces in a lymph node that provide a complex network of chambers and channels through which lymph circulates  
🗑
The lymph nodes in the cervical region   show
🗑
show drain the upper limbs, the wall of the thorax, the mammary glands (breasts), and the upper wall of the abdomen.  
🗑
The lymph nodes in the supratrochlear region   show
🗑
Lymph node of inguinal region   show
🗑
show receive lymph from the lymphatic vessels of the pelvic viscera, follow the iliac blood vessels.  
🗑
show form chains along the main branches of the mesenteric arteries and the abdominal aorta and receive lymph from the abdominal viscera.  
🗑
show in the mediastinum and along the trachea and bronchi. They receive lymph from the thoracic viscera and from the internal wall of the thorax.  
🗑
Thymus   show
🗑
where is the thymus?   show
🗑
largest lymphatic organ   show
🗑
where is spleen located   show
🗑
show blood  
🗑
show distributed throughout the spleen in tiny islands, is composed of splenic nodules, which are similar to the lymphatic nodules in lymph nodes and are packed with lymphocytes.  
🗑

🗑
what are the 3 cell types within lymphatic tissue   show
🗑
where are lymph nodes generally located   show
🗑
what structures lack lymph nodes?   show
🗑
pathogens   show
🗑
show simple microorganisms such as bacteria, complex microorganisms such as protozoa, and spores of multicellular organisms such as fungi.  
🗑
Viruses are pathogens, but they are not considered organisms, because   show
🗑
innate defense   show
🗑
show species resistance, mechanical barriers, inflammation, chemical barriers (enzyme action, interferon, and complement), natural killer cells, phagocytosis, and fever.  
🗑
show these protective mechanisms are very precise, targeting specific pathogens  
🗑
adaptive defense mechanisms include   show
🗑
show quickly  
🗑
adaptive defense responds   show
🗑
species resistance   show
🗑
mechanical barriers   show
🗑
pus   show
🗑
exudates   show
🗑
show enzymes that kill pathogens and protect the body  
🗑
Interferons   show
🗑
Defensins   show
🗑
show proteins that provide broad protection against bacteria, yeasts, some viruses,detect the sugar molecules or pattern in which they are clustered, binding much like velcro clings to fabric, thus making the pathogen more easily phagocytized.  
🗑
show proteins (complement system), in plasma and other body fluids, that interact in an expanding series of reactions or cascade.  
🗑
show rapid complement activation when a complement protein binds to an antibody attached to its specific antigen  
🗑
show slower complement activation triggered by exposure to foreign antigens, in the absence of antibodies.  
🗑
show small population of lymphocytes that are distinctly different from the lymphocytes that provide adaptive defense mechanisms, secrete perforins.  
🗑
perforins   show
🗑
show neutrophils and monocytes  
🗑
show smaller particles  
🗑
show larger particles  
🗑
show IL-1 raises the thermoregulatory set point in the brain’s hypothalamus to maintain a higher body temperature. AKA endogenous pyrogen (“fire maker from within”)  
🗑

🗑
show large and complex, with few repeating parts.  
🗑
hapten   show
🗑
show 70/80 vs 20/30  
🗑
show processed fragments of the antigen be attached to the surface of another type of cell, called an antigen-presenting cell  
🗑
cellular immune response   show
🗑
show polypeptides synthesized and secreted by T cells and some macrophages that enhance certain cellular responses to antigens  
🗑
what other substances do T cells secrete?   show
🗑
helper T cell   show
🗑
show the type that HIV targets, is responsible for stimulating Bcells to aid immunity  
🗑
show bind to the surfaces of antigen-bearing cells, where they release perforin protein that cuts porelike openings, destroying these cells, ontinually monitor the body’s cells, recognizing and eliminating tumor cells and cells infected with viruses.  
🗑
show Cd8 cells produce memory T cells after contact with the antigen studded portion of a cell. This memory T cell than reacts to that pathogen in the future, destroying before the body starts to display symptoms (think antibodies)  
🗑
show number of circulating antibodies in the bloodstream.  
🗑


   

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.
