23
Q

Lymph tissues

A

24
Q

Immunity that involves production of antibodies and memory cells by the individual is termed

A

Active immunity

25
Immunity acquired as a result of the transfer of antibodies to an individual from outside source
Passive immunity
26
Three functions of the lymphatic system?
Fluid balance, protection, and absorption of fats
27
The vessels are very permeable, permitting the passage of large proteins
Lymphatic capillaries
28
Lacteals are one example of this type of vessel
Lymphatic capillary
29
Fluid moves from the interstitial space into lymphatic capillaries by the process
Bulk flow
30
A ____ gradient promotes fluid movement into lymphatic capillaries
Pressure
31
The concentration of proteins in lymphatic capillaries are ___than protein concentration in the interstitial fluid
Less than
32
An area of lymphoid tissue specifically found in small intestinal wall
Peyer patch
33
The indented area of a lymph node where efferent lymphatic vessels exit the node
Hilum
34
An oval lymphoid body located at the side of the soft palate
Palatine tonsil
35
Lymphoid tissue associated with mucous membranes, such as the tonsils and appendix
MALT
36
A granular leukocyte that participated in inate defenses
Neutrophil
37
A cell that reduces an immune response by inhibiting of destroying activated lymphocytes
T reg cell
38
Produce substances that cause the cell to “ self destruct”
Cytotoxic t cells
39
The type of B cell that produces antibodies
Plasma cell
40
The type of B cell responsible for the secondary immune response
Memory b cell
41
A set of blood proteins that carry out many different immune activities
Complement
42
Two types of white blood cells in lymph nodes are
Macrophages and lymphocytes
43
The internal structure of lymph nodes include:
Reticular fibers, macrophages, and lymphocytes
44
Protect the body from all foreign invaders regardless of type or location
Nonspecific defenses
45
First line of defense that includes mechanical barriers such as skin and mucous membranes
Nonspecific
46
Secrets acid or enzymes to inhibit bacterial growth
Mucous membranes
47
Small proteins secreted by virus infected cells that protect other cells nearby from being infected ?
Interferons
48
Two divisions of the immune system
Humoral and Cellular
49
Antibody-mediated immunity
Humoral
50
Cell mediated immunity
Cellular
51
Antibodies are also called
Immunoglobulins
