1
Q
General Flow of Lymphatic Vessels
A
1. Excess interstitial fluid is taken up by a lymphatic capillary
2. Moves through lymphatic vessels
3. Arrives at lymph node (filters lymph)
4. Continues to other node(s)
5. Returns to vasculature (subclavian vein)
2. Moves through lymphatic vessels
3. Arrives at lymph node (filters lymph)
4. Continues to other node(s)
5. Returns to vasculature (subclavian vein)
2
Q
Where does excess interstitial fluid come from?
A
Blood is filtered at the arterial end of a capilary
Most, but not all filtrate is reabsorbed at the venous end
Fluid "left behind" is taken up by lymphatics
Most, but not all filtrate is reabsorbed at the venous end
Fluid "left behind" is taken up by lymphatics
3
Q
What is filtered by the lymph?
A
Water
Electrolytes
Small amount of protein
Electrolytes
Small amount of protein
4
Q
What is the anchoring filament between the endothelial cell and lymph made of?
A
Elastin
5
Q
Will proteins be easily transported into the lymphatic capillary?
A
Yes.
Lymph space is big, so it is easily transported to capillary. Only a small amount of protein though.

6
Q
A blockage in a lymphatic vessel will cause _______ and _______.
A
1. Increase in protein and water in interstitial space.
2. Non-pitting edema
2. Non-pitting edema
7
Q
A blockage in a venule vessel will cause _______ and _______.
A
1. Increase in water in interstitial space (Increased hydrostatic pressure)
2. Pitting Edema
2. Pitting Edema
8
Q
What moves lymph towards thoracic duct or right lymphatic duct and what prevents it from backing up?
A
Smooth Muscles in Wall
Skeletal Muscles
Valves
Skeletal Muscles
Valves

14
Q
What do the cells of the immune system need to do?
A
1. Detect and identify it as foreign
2. Communicate w/ other immune cells to rally an organized response
3. Coordinate the response among all participants
4. Destroy or suppress the invader
2. Communicate w/ other immune cells to rally an organized response

2. Mast Cells
3. Natural Killer Cells
4. Neutrophils
5. Plasma Cells
2. Mast Cells
3. Natural Killer Cells
4. Neutrophils
5. Plasma Cells
16
Q
What is a main contributor to the redness and swelling associated w/ inflammation?
A
Degranulation of mast cells - release histamine causing swelling and redness
17
Q
What happens after a tissue is damaged?
A
1. Mast Cell, Injured Cell, and Macrophage Release Cytokines and Chemokines
2. Histamine, Prostaglandins, and Leukotrines act as inflammatory mediators and cause redness and swelling
2. Histamine, Prostaglandins, and Leukotrines act as inflammatory mediators and cause redness and swelling
18
Q
What are cytokines and chemokines?
A
Protein messengers that are released from a cell and affect the differentiation/activity of another cell
-Chemo attractive, chemotactic cytokines
-Chemo attractive, chemotactic cytokines
19
Q
Where does pus in a wound come from?
A
Macrophages and neutrophils were attracted to the site of infection
They recognize the bacteria as foreign
They phagocytize the bacteria
They recognize the bacteria as foreign
They phagocytize the bacteria
20
Q
Microbes have molecules that are ______ from those on our cells
A
different
21
Q
What are PAMPs?
A
Pathogen-Associated Molecular Patterns
The collection of different molecules on microbes that are different from those on our cells
*how body recognizes self from non-self*
The collection of different molecules on microbes that are different from those on our cells
*how body recognizes self from non-self*
22
Q
What cell type recogonizes PAMPs? What happens when they do?
A
Macrophage or Neutrophil
Phagocytize bacteria (if there is a lot, you get pus)
