Question
Answer
what is the lymphatic system   it consists of lymph, interstitial(tissue) fluid, lymphatics, lymph nodes, isolated nodules of lymphatic tissue, tonsils, thymus & spleen

🗑
What is interstitial fluid   it is a complex and organized material that fills spaces between cells  
🗑
what is ECF   extracellular fluid  
🗑
what makes up ECF   interstitial fluid & blood  
🗑
lymph and IF are similar to what   Blood plasma  
🗑
plasma contains__concentration of proteins   higher  
🗑
what is the different btwn lymph in thoracic duct and most IF   lymph in thoracic duct twice high protein conc. as most IF  
🗑
what direction does lymph go in the body   goes in one direction way  
🗑
lymphatic vessels begin as what in tissues spaces   blind-end capillaries  
🗑
what are the two lymphatic ducts   thoracic duct & right lymphatic duct  
🗑
where does thoracic duct drain   into left subclavian vein  
🗑
where does right lymphatic duct drains   into right subclavian vein  
🗑
what are lacteals   lymphatics orginating in intestinal villi  
🗑
lacteal contain what after a fatty meal which has milky lymph called   chlye  
🗑
what are the lymphatic vessels   thinner walled than veins, has more valves lymph nodes are located at intervals  
🗑
what are the functions o lymphatic vessels   drain interstitial fluid transport dietary lipids, facilitate immune response  
🗑
how does lymphatic vessels drain interstitial fluid   they return water & protein from IF to blood  
🗑
How does lymphatic vessels transport dietary lipida   lacteals absorb fats & other nutrient  
🗑
how fast does lymph in lymphatic vessels   avg @ 125 ml/hr  
🗑
what are the mechanisms that contribute to the effectiveness of lymphatic pump   breathing movement, skeletal muscle contractions, arterial pulsations,contraction of lymphatic walls  
🗑
what are lymph nodes   lymphatic tissue, separated into compartments by fibrous partitions  
🗑
what are afferent lymphatics   they enter each node  
🗑
what are efferent lymphatics   they leave each node  
🗑
what are lymph usually located in   clusters  
🗑
what do lymph nodes do   filter out injurious substances & phagocytose, site of formation of lymphocytes & monocytes  
🗑
where is the thymus located   in mediastinum extends into the lower neck  
🗑
the size of the thymus   relatively largest in comparison to body size @ about 2yrs of age; absolutely largest @ puberty, after which it gradually atrophies; almost disapears by advanced age  
🗑
what are the function of the thymus   forms lymphocytes before birth produces and distributes T-cells involved in cell-mediated immunity  
🗑
where is the spleen located   in the left hypchondriac  
🗑
what is the structure of the spleen   similiar to lymph nodes; ovoid in shape; size varies;contains numerous venous blood spaces that serve as blood reservoir  
🗑
what is the function of the spleen   defense-protection by phagocytosis by reticuloendothelial cells and antibody formation by some lymphocytes  
🗑
what are the different types of tonsils   pharyngeal(adenoid), palatine, lingual  
🗑
where are they located, Pharyngeal,palatine, lingual   pharyngeal-posterior wall of nasopharynx palatine-tonsillar fossa btwn arches lingual-base of tongue  
🗑
what are the function of tonsils   produces lymphocytes and antibodies; act on foreign substances that are inhaled or ingested  
🗑
what is resistance   ability to ward off disease  
🗑
what is susceptibility   vulnerability or lack of resistance  
🗑
what is nonspecific resistance   inherited, provides general response against wide variety of organisms  
🗑
what is specific resistance(immunity)   production of specific antibody to fight specific pathogens; developed  
🗑
what are the mechanical factors   skin, mucus membranes,lacrimal apparatus saliva, flow of urine  
🗑
what does skin do   wards off entrance of # of pathogens  
🗑
what does mucus membranes do   traps microbes & foreign substances, may aided by hairs(nose) cilia  
🗑
what does lacrimal apparatus   washing action of tears helps keep microbes from settling on eyes  
🗑
what does saliva do   washes microbes from teeth  
🗑
what does the flow of urine do   keeps microbes from expanding in urinary tract  
🗑
what are the chemical factors   sebum,sudoriferous glands, & gastric juice  
🗑
what does sebum   forms protective layer over surface of skin; an unsaturated fatty acid in sebum inhibits growth of some pathogenic bacteria & fungi  
🗑
what does sudoriferous glands do   produce perspiration which helps wash microorganisms from surface of skin; also contains lysozyme which breaks down cell walls of some bacteria  
🗑
what does gastric juices do   has high acidity which destroys bacteria in stomach  
🗑
what are the types of phagocytes   Granulocytes(neutrophils), macrophages  
🗑
what are macrophages   enlarged monocytes which leave bloodstream-some may wander while other remain in certain tissue & are fixed  
🗑
phagocytosis work by what   chemotaxis, Adherence, ingestion, digestion  
🗑
what is chemotaxis   phagocytes are attracted to microorganisms by chemicals  
🗑
what is adherence   attachment of cell membrane of phagocyte to surface of microorganism; may involve opsonization to enhance attachment of phagocyte  
🗑
what is opsonization   coating of microorganism with plasma proteins complement  
🗑
what is ingestion   involves pseudopod extension by phagocyte forming phagocytic vesicle  
🗑
what is digestion   fusion of phagocytic vesicles with lysosome; enzymes of lysosome destroy microorganisms  
🗑
what are natural killer cells   population of lymphocytes with ability to kill wide variety of microbes plus some tumor cells;found in lymph nodes, spleen, bone marrow & blood  
🗑
what is inflammation   localized response of cells damaged by microbes, physical agents, or chemical agents  
🗑
what are the 4 cardinal symptoms of inflammation   redness, pain, heat & swelling; fifth can be loss of function injured area  
🗑
immunity is ??   specific disease resistance  
🗑
what is an antigen   any chemical substance that, when introduced into the body, causes the body to produce specific antibodies or specific cells(T-cells), which can react with the antigen  
🗑
what is immunogenicity   ability to stimulate formation of specific antibodies (provoke an immune response)  
🗑
what is reactivity   ability of antigen to react with produced antibodies or cells  
🗑
what are characteristics of Antigens   form of protein or large polysaccharide;entire or part of microbe may b be antigenic;may contain antigenic determinant sites on it surface;determinant site that has reactivity but not immunogenicity is called a partial antigen or hapten  
🗑
what are ABS   antibodies  
🗑
what are antibodies   protein produced by body in response to presence of antigen & capable of combining specifically with the antigen  
🗑
antibodies belong to what groups of protein   immunoglobulins, they are 5 classes(MADGE)  
🗑
What are the structure of antibodies   Two heavy(H) chains-consits of more than 400 amino acid, Two light (L) chains-consists of 200 amino acid  
🗑
What are the two regions of antibodies   variable portion-contains antigen binding site; constant portion-which is the same for all members of a class  
🗑
What is cellular(cell-mediated)immunity   effective against fungi, parasites, intracellular viral infections, cancer cells & foreign tissue transplants  
🗑
cellular immunity are   Helper T cells ,cytotoxic (killer) T cells, suppressor T cells Memory T cells  
🗑
what are Helper T cells   developed from CD4 + cells; aid in antibody production & secrete interleukin-2 which stimulates production of cytotoxic T cells  
🗑
what are cytotoxic(killer) T cells   develop from CD8+cells; leave lymphoid tissue & travel to invading cell & destroy it; several chemicals released  
🗑
what are suppressor T cells   shut down some activities of immune system after several weeks  
🗑
what are Memory T cells   recognize the original invading antigen, initiate swifter reaction on 2nd exposure..<long Lived>  
🗑
what is Humoral (antibody-mediated) immunity   effective against bacterial & viral infections  
🗑
