Q

Lymphoid organ

A

Lymph nodes, spleen, and thymus gland

25
Lymph node
Collection of stationary solid lymphatic tissue along lymph vessels
26
Lymph vessels
Carrier of lymph throughout the body
27
Macrophage
Large phagocyte found in lymph nodes and other tissues of the body
28
Mediastinal nodes
Lymph nodes in the area between the lungs inin the thoracic cavity

Monoclonal antibody
An antibody produced in a laboratory to attack antigens and to destroy cells
31
Natural immunity
Protection that an individual is born with to fight infection
32
Paraaortic nodes
Lymph nodes near the aorta in the lumbar area of the body
33
Plasma cell
Lymphocyte that secretes antibodies; matures from B Lymphocytes
34
Right lymphatic duct
Vessel in the chest that drains lymph from the upper right part; empties into large neck vein
35
Spleen
Organ in left upper quadrant of the abdomen that destroys worn out RBC's, activates lymphocytes, and stores blood
36
Suppressor T call (Treg)
Lymphocyte that inhibits the activity of B and T cells
37
T cells (T lymphocyte)
Lymphocytes that acts directly on antigens to destroy them or produces chemicals toxic to antigens

Tolerance
Ability of T lymphocyte to recognize and accept the body's own antigens as "self" or friendly
39
Thoracic duct
Drains lymph from the lower and left side of body; empties into large veins in neck

41
Tonsils
Masses of lymphatic tissue in back of the oropharynx
42
Toxin
Poision
43
Vaccinations
Exposure of an individual to an antigen that provokes an immune response that will destroy any cells with the antigenand will protect against infection
