25
Fats absorbed from the digestive system are carried by the lymph
Transport dietary lipids
26
Develops in the red bone marrow, produce antibodies
B cells
27
Matures in the thymus, involved in cell-mediated immunity; Attack infected cells directly
T cells
28
clear fluid similar to blood plasma and circulates through the lymphatic vessels
Lymph
29
Thin walled structures that transports lymph throughout the body
Lymphatic vessels
30
Filters lymph and house immune cells
Lymph nodes
31
Small blind ended vessels that absorb interstitial fluid
Lymphatic capillaries
32
Drains lymph into the blood stream, returning it to the circulation
Thoracic duct and right lymphatic duct
33
Areas drained by the right lymphatic duct
Right side of the neck, head, upper limb, thorax, heart, and part of liver
34
areas where right lymphatic duct empties
Venous system at the junction of the right internal jugular vein, and the right subclavian vein.
35
Areas drained by the left lymphatic duct
entire left side of the body and entire lower body
36
Areas empties by the thoracic duct
left internal jugular vein and left subclavian vein
37
Tissues spaces between cells
Lymphatic capillaries
38
Two pumps aid in lymph movement
skeletal muscle pump and respiratory pump
39
Primary lymphatic organs
red bone marrow, thymus
40
Secondary lymphatic organs
Lymph nodes, spleen, lymphatic nodules
41
Located in the flat bones and long bones end. It produces mature B cells and immature T cells
Red bone marrow
42
Immature T cells migrate to the thymus to mature into functional t cells
Thymus
43
Concentrated near mammary axillae and groin
lymph nodes
44
largest mass of lymphatic tissue
spleen
45
Egg-shaped masses of lymphatic tissue
Lymphatic Nodules
46
Lymph nodes contains?
B cells, T cells, and Macrophages
47
It brings lymph into nodes
Afferent vessels
48
Allows lymph to exit
Efferent vessels
49
Contains lymphatic tissue where immune responses take place
white pulp
50
Removes worn-out blood cells and platelets and stores platelets
Red pulp
51
location of lymphatic nodules
mucous membranes, lining of the GI, urinary, reproductives, and respiratory tracts.
52
Substances that recognized as foreign by the immune system
Antigens
53
Process where lymphocytes multiply to fight a specific pathogen
Clonal section
54
Actively fight infection
Effector cells
55
Stay in the body to quickly respond if the antigen returns
Memory cells
56
Activate B cells and cytotoxic T cells
Helper T cells
57
It destroys infected cells directly
cytotoxic t cells
58
Crucial for attacking cells that are infected with viruses or intracellular pathogens
T cells
59
It transform plasma cells, which produce antibodies
B cells
60
Binds antigen, neutralizing pathogens
Antibodies
61
Most common provides long term immunity
IgG
62
Found in mucous membranes
IgA
63
First produced during an immune response
IgM
64
Involved in B cell activation
IgD
65
Associated with allergic reactions
IgE
66
Introduces a harmless form of antigen to stimulate the production of memory cells
Vaccination
67
Decline in immune function
Aging
