Question
Answer
What is the lymphatic system comprised of?   lymph nodes, vessels, organs  
🗑
What is lymph?   colorless fluid containing lymphocytes and monocytes  
🗑
What does lymph do?   transports interstitial fluids and proteins that have leaked from blood system into venous system, absorbs and transports fats from villi of small intestine to venous system, assists in immune function  
🗑
Name the lymph organs:   lymph nodes, spleen, bone marrow, thymus, tonsils, Peyer's patches  
🗑
What is a Peyer's patch?   lymphoid tissue on mucosa of small intestine  
🗑
Where is the spleen located?   LUQ of abdomen  
🗑
What does the spleen do?   stores and filters blood; activates lymphocytes and B cells to filter antigens  
🗑
Where are stem cells produced?   bone marrow  
🗑
Axillary nodes   lymph nodes located in armpit  
🗑
Cloquet's node   (gland) highest of deep groin lymph nodes  
🗑
Inguinofemoral   referring to groin and thigh  
🗑
Lymph node   station along lymphatic system  
🗑

🗑
Lymphadenitis   inflammation of a lymph node  
🗑
Lymphangiography   radiographic recording of lymphatic vessels and nodes  
🗑
Lymphangiotomy   incision into a lymphatic vessel  
🗑
Lymphangitis   inflammation of lymphatic vessel(s)  
🗑
This produces a hormone to mobilize calcium from bones to blood:   parathyroid  
🗑
Splenoportography   radiographic procedure to allow visualization of splenic and portal veins of spleen  
🗑
Thoracic duct   largest lymph vessel which collects lymph from portions of body below diaphragm and from left side of body above diaphragm  
🗑
Anemia   reduction in number of erythrocytes or decrease in quality of hemoglobin  
🗑
Aplastic Anemia   anemia characterized by bone marrow failure with reduced numbers of red and white cells and platelets  
🗑
Iron Deficiency Anemia   anemia characterized by small erythrocytes and a reduced amount of hemoglobin - caused by low iron stores  
🗑
Pernicious Anemia   megaloblastic anemia (large stem cells) - inability to absorb vitamin B12, due to lack of intrinsic factor (found in gastric juices)  
🗑
Hemolytic Anemia   anemia characterized by shortened survival of mature erythrocytes - excessive destruction of RBC

Hodgkin's Disease   malignant lymphoma originating in white blood cells, spreads throughout the lymphatic system, characterized by Giant Reed-Sternberg cells present in lymphatic tissue  
🗑
Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma   cancer of the lymphatic system involving multiple nodes with the presence of large lymphocytes but not Reed-Sternberg cells  
🗑
Burkitt's Lymphoma   type of non-Hodgkins's lymphoma characterized by lesions in jaw and face, usually found in Africa and New Guinea
