Question
Answer
fluid in tissue spaces that carries protein moleculs back to blood   lymph  
🗑
lymph is formed by ____ leaving capillaries   plasma  
🗑
types of lymphatic vessels   lyhmphatic capillaries, R lymph duct, thoracic duct  
🗑
permit only 1-way movement of lymph   lymphatic vessels  
🗑
permit excess tissue fluid and other substances to leave tissue spaces   lymphatic capillaries  
🗑

🗑
enlarged pouch along path of thoracic duct   cisterna chyli  
🗑

🗑
immune system   protects body from pathological bacteria, foreign tissue cells, and cancer cells  
🗑

🗑
most numerous of immune system cells   lymphocytes  
🗑
types of lymphocytes   B cells and T cells  
🗑
secrete antibodies, produce humoral immunity, and give long-term immunity   B cells  
🗑
produce cell-mediated immunity, release substances to poison harmful cells and attract microphages   T cells  
🗑
