Q

How do lymphatic vessels against the vascular system circulate body fluids

A

-draining excess interstitial fluid
-transport dietary lipids absorbed by the gut to the blood

16
Q

How is lymph pumped back into heart

A

By skeletal muscles and respiration

17
Q

Lymphedema

A

Swelling due to obstruction in lymph node

18
Q

How many lymph nodes in typical young adult

19
Q

Two functions of lymph nodes

A

-cleanse the lymph
-act as a site of T and B cell activation

20
Q

Lymph shape

A

Elongated bean shaped structure with hilum
-enclosed with fibrous capsule with trabeculae that divide interior into compartments

21
Q

What’s divided into cortex and medulla in lymph node

22
Q

Where do B cells multiply and differentiate into plasma cells

A

Germinal centers

23
Q

Pathogens

A

Agents capable of producing disease

24
Q

First line of defence

A

Skin, mucous membranes

25
Second line of defence
Leukocytes, macrophages, NK, inflammation, fever
26
Third line of defence
Adaptive immunity -defeats pathogen and leaves body with a memory
27
What does NK cell produce
Perforins
28
Where is NK present
In blood, spleen, lymph nodes, red bone marrow
29
What does NK attack
Any body cells that fail to display MHC 1
30
Inflammation steps
1) inflammation chemicals 2) margination -blood goes to site of injury 3) diapedesis 4) chemotaxis 5) phagocytosis
31
What does adaptive specific immunity protect against
Infection, bacteria, viruses, bacterial toxins, cancer
32
Cellular immunity
-lymphocytes directly attack foreign cells or diseased cells -ride the body of pathogens -kills cells that harbour them
33
Humoral immunity
-mediated by antibodies that do not directly destroy pathogen but tag it -antibodies are dissolved in body fluids -effective against viruses, bacteria, yeats, protozoans, toxins, venoms, allergies
34
Where do plasma cells go to mature
Red bone marrow
35
Autoimmunity
-inability to recognize self -immune system attacks the body’s own tissue
