Lymphatic Flashcards

1
Q

is a linear network of lymphatic vessels and secondary lymphoid organs.
Responsible for the fluid balance. Interstitial fluid is being filtered and brought back into the bloodstream.
It absorbs and transports fatty acids and fats from the digestive system.
It transports white blood cells and dendritic cells for the defense system of the body.

Q

It is a fluid in the lymphatic system originating from the interstitial fluid that enters the lymphatic vessels. It Contain nutrients , oxygen , hormones, and fatty acids, as well as toxins and cellular waste products, that are transported to and from cellular tissues.

Q

It is a lymphatic tissue, usually in clusters, separated into compartments by fibrous partitions which help defend the body against foreign substances. These are also sites of hemopoeisis (T and B Lymphocytes)
Function: Releases antibodies

16
Q

is in tissue fluid and plasma and defends against bacterial cells, viruses, and toxins and activates complement, a group of immune system enzymes.

A

Immunoglobulin G(IgG)

17
Q

is in exocrine gland secretions (breast milk, saliva, tears) and defends against bacteria and viruses.

A

Immunoglobulin A(IgA)

18
Q

is found in plasma and activates complement and reacts with blood cells during transfusions. (the one na nagrereact kapag mali yung blood na nareceive)

A

Immunoglobulin M(IgM)

19
Q

can be found on surface of B cells, especially those of infants. It activates B cells

A

Immunoglobulin D(IgD)

20
Q

is found in exocrine gland secretions and promotes allergic reactions.

A

Immunoglobulin E(IgE)

21
Q

first defense against invaders.
refers to nonspecific defense mechanisms that come into play immediately or within hours of an antigen’s appearance in the body.
Act as physical and chemical barriers against pathogen such as skin , chemicals in the blood, and immune system cells that attack foreign cells in the body.

A

Innate Immunity

22
Q

takes time to develop after first exposure to a new antigen. However afterward, the antigen is remembered, and subsequent responses to that antigen are quicker and more effective than those that occurred after the first exposure.

is also called specific immunity because it tailors its attack to a specific antigen previously encountered.

A

Acquired Immunity

23
Q

develops before exposure to agents such as microbes, toxins, or other foreign substances. It involves a very specific response to pathogens.

Acquired Immunity

24
Q

develops after exposure to agents such as microbes, toxins, or other foreign substances. It involves a very specific response to pathogens.

A

Adaptive Immunity

25
Q

mediated by antibodies produced by B-lymphocytes

A

Humoral Immunity

26
Q

mediated by T- lymphocytes.

A

Cell-Mediated Immunity

27
Q

It develops naturally when memory cells form clones in response to an infection and can also develop following immunization, also called vaccination.
In immunization, a nonpathogenic form of a microbe or part of a microbe elicits an immune response to an immunological memory. (They inject dead virus cells)

A

Active Immunity

28
Q

It provides immediate, short-term protection.
It is conferred naturally when IgG crosses the placenta from mother to fetus or when IgA passes from mother to infant in breast milk.
It can be conferred artificially by injecting antibodies into a non immune person.

A

Passive Immunity

29
Q

It is lymphatic disorder that involves obstruction, lymph fluid builds up in the tissues.

A

Lymphedema

30
Q

It is caused by a retrovirus called human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
It is the most severe phase of HIV infection.
People with AIDS have such badly damaged immune systems that they get an increasing number of severe illnesses, called opportunistic infections (such as tuberculosis).

A

Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS)
