A & P II: Week 2 Review Flashcards
Interstitial fluid that passes through Lymphatic Vessels
Lymph
Three Functions of Lymphatic System
- Immune Response
- TRANSPORT digested FAT to blood
- DRAINS Interstitial Fluids
Found along Lymphatic Vessels
Function as a filter
Produce Lymphocytes
Lymph nodes
Stores and matures Lymphocytes
Produces T-cells
Located between sternum and aorta
Thymus Gland
Largest mass of Lymphatic Tissue
Produces Lymphocytes
Stores blood (for release during hemorrhage)
Spleen
Lymphocytes in the ___ destroys worn out/defective RBC.
spleen
How does Lymph move through the Lymphatic Vessels?
- Skeletal Muscle contraction
- Smooth Muscle contraction
- Respiration (breathing)
Lymph fluid joins the vascular system at the ___.
subclavian vein
Type of immunity:
No specific recognition of a microbe
Acts against all microbes the same way
Innate (non-specific) Immunity
Type of Immunity:
Specific recognition/response to specific microbe
Involves B-cells & T-cells
Adaptive (specific) Immunity
Type of Immunity:
B-cells contact antigen and produce antibodies
Active Immunity
Natural exposure to infection is a form of ____.
natural active immunity
Receiving a vaccine is a way to develop ____.
Acquired Active Immunity
Results when antibodies are transferred to a person who has never been exposed to the pathogen
Passive Immunity
Antibodies from mother to fetus develops ___.
Passive Immunity
Receiving Gamma Globulin injections develops ___.
Acquired Passive Immunity
The 1st and 2nd Lines of Defense are both considered ____.
Innate Immunity
Three Levels of Defense
- Physical & Chemical Barriers
- Internal non-specific defense
- Adaptive Immunity
(Mechanical Barrier) Tough for bacteria and viruses to penetrate; shedding of epidermal cells help remove microbes
Skin
Secretes mucus
Mucous Membranes
Traps microbes and foreign substances that have breached Innate Immunity
Mucus
Defensive response to tissue damage
Inflammation
______ prevents pathogens from spreading to other tissue, and prepares site to restore tissue.
Inflammation
What occurrences lead to Inflammation?
Injured cell releases Histamines >
Histamines cause vasodilation and permeability >
WBC flock to area, blood accumulates (HEAT & REDNESS) >
more fluid into tissue spaces (EDEMA) >
pain receptors activate
Fever: Elevated temperatures (3)
- Intensifies effects of interferons
- Inhibits growth of microbes
- Speeds up body reactions that aid repair
B-cells are involved in ___ mediated immunity.
humoral
B-cells mature in ___.
bone marrow.
____ produce antibodies in response to antigen.
B-cells
Divides into Clonal Cells
B-cells
2 kinds of Clonal Cells
- Effector Cells (short-lived)
2. Memory Cells (long-lived)
Long-lived cells that bear receptors for the same antigen (should it appear at a future time); do not secrete antibodies
Memory cells
T-cells are involved in ___ - mediated Immunity.
cell
T-cells mature in the ____.
Thymus
Two types of T-cells
- Tc (cytotoxic)
2. Th (helper)
Directly kills infected cells and tumor (cancer) cells
Tc (cytotoxic)
Divides & secreted cytokines that help immune response
Th (Helper)
Stimulates B-cells and Tc to proliferate
Th (Helper)
In Cell-Mediated Immunity, T-cells fight ____ viruses, fungi, parasites, and ___.
intracellular
cancer
In Humoral-Mediated Immunity, B-cells fight circulating ___ and ___ infections.
bacteria
viral
Formation of a clone/copy of B-cells
Clonal Selection
Substances recognized as foreign and provoke immune responses
Antigen (Ags)
Y-shaped molecule
Also, immunoglobulins (Igs)
Antibody
Organs of the Upper Respiratory System (4)
- Nose & Nasal Cavity
- Pharynx (Throat)
- Larynx (Voice box)
- Upper Trachea (Wind pipe)
Organs of the Lower Respiratory System (7)
- Lower Trachea
- Bronchi
- Bronchioles
- Alveoli
- Lungs
- Pleural Membranes
- Muscles of Respiration
Routes food and liquid into the Esophagus
Epiglottis
The voice box is located in the ___.
Larynx
Blocks food and liquid from entering the Trachea (airways)
Epiglottis
The Trachea divides into the right ___ and left ____.
right primary bronchus
left primary bronchus
