25
Tertiary (ectopic) Lymphoid tissue
Pathology associated
26
Primary lymphoid tissue generates mature naive lymphocytes from immature progenitor cells in this process
Lymphopoiesis
27
Primary location of plasma cells
bone marrow
28
Provide an environment for target/antigen focusing and serve as a storage depot for mature lymphocytes
Secondary Lymphoid tissues
29
Location of B-cells in lymph node
Outer cortex arranged into follicles w/ follicular dendritic cells
30
Location of T-cells in lymph node
interdigitating paracortex with high endothelial venules
31
Samples the mucosal fluids for paticulates, bacteria, and viruses.
MALT
32
In the spleen, capillary sinuses lined with phagocytic endothelium and macrophages that act as a filter and capture antigens
Red Pulp

35
How do T and B-cells organize into their respective territories in lymph nodes and the spleen?
Respond to different chemokines that bind to receptors on their cell surface
36
Antigen stimulate follicle
Germinal center
