Question
Answer
Clear watery fluid that surrounds body cells and flows in system of lymph vessels throughout the body. Originates in bloodRich in WBC lymphocytes and monocytes   LYMPH  
🗑
What flows in lymph capillaries and vessels   Lymph  
🗑
liver, spleen, thymus and nodes   Lymphatic Organs  
🗑
Transports proteins and fluid that have leaked back to the bloodstream   Lymphatic System Functions  
🗑
Protect the body by mounting a cellular attack on foreign cells and organisms   Lymphocytes and monocytes  
🗑
Begin at spaces around cells throughout the body and are THIN-WALLED tubes   Lymph capillaries  
🗑
Carry lymph from tissue spaces to larger lymph vessels   Lymph capillaries  
🗑
Have THICKER walls than those of lymph capillaries. contain valves so lymph flows in only 1 direction.   Lymph Vessels  
🗑
Lymph vessels flow in what direction?   TOWARD THORACIC CAVITY  
🗑
Located in lymph nodes as well as in the spleen, liver and lungs, they phagocytose (swallow) foreign substances   MACROPHAGES  
🗑
Produce antibodies   B Lymphocytes (B Cells)  
🗑
Attack bacteria and foreign cells   T Lymphocytes (T Cells)  
🗑
What is in the cervical, axillary (armpit) mediastinal, and inguinal regions of the body?   LYMPH NODE CONCENTRATION  
🗑
Enlarged lymph tissue in the part of the throat near the nasal passages (nasopharynx)   ADENOIDS  
🗑
This organ NOT essential to life, and located in the left upper quadrant of the abdomen, next to the stomach   SPLEEN  
🗑
dESTROYS OLD RED BLOOD CELLS, FILTERS MICROORGANISMS AND OTHER FOREIGN MATERIAL OUT OF THE BLOOD   SPLEEN  
🗑
Stores blood, especially erythrocytes and platelets   SPLEEN  
🗑
Located in the upper mediastinum between the lungs.   THYMUS GLAND  
🗑
Provides immunity in fetal life and in early years of growth   THYMUS GLAND  
🗑
Early in development, in the thymus, lymphocytes learn to recognize and accept the body's own antigens as "self" or friendly. This is known as?   TOLERANCE  
🗑
Specialized to defend the body against antigen such as toxins, bacterial proteins, or foreign blood cells.   IMMUNE SYSTEM  
🗑
The body's ability to resist foreign organisms and toxins that damage tissues and organs   IMMUNITY  
🗑
Genetic predisposition, Inhereted and present at birth to fight off infection with "NO PRIOR EXPOSURE" TO antigens   NATURAL IMMUNITY Phagocytosis Macrophages Natural Killer Cells (NK)  
🗑
by contracting a disease, by vaccination, or stem cell transplant Having an infection   ACQUIRED IMMUNITY ACTIVE  
🗑
Only active for a certain amount of time, antitoxins, antibodies from mother Immunoglobins   ACQUIRED IMMUNITY PASSIVE  
🗑
These originate from bone marrow stem cells and produce antibodies when exposed to specific antigens: viruses, bacteria   T CELLS  
🗑
Originate from stem cells in the bone marrow, but are processed in the thymus gloand with thymic hormones   T CELLS  
🗑
When ______ encounters an antigen, it multiplies rapidly to produce specific types of cells that destroy the antigen   T CELL  
🗑
____ is the use of antibodies, B cells and Tcells treat disease such as cancer   IMMUNOTHERAPY  
🗑
____ Antibodies created in a laboratory cloning technique, designed to attack specific cancer cells   MONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES (MoAb)  
🗑
Antigens from tumor cells, May be injected or given as a nasal spray   VACCINES  
🗑
