10 - Blood And Lymphatic System

Front 1

Fluid consisting of formed elements and plasma that transport respiratory gases (oxygen and carbon dioxide), chemical substances (foods, salts, hormones), and cells that act to protect the body from foreign substances

Back 1

Blood

Front 2

Vessel system composed of lymphatic capillaries, lymphatic vessels lymphatic ducts, and lymph nodes that convey lymph from the tissue to the blood

Back 2

Lymphatic system

Front 3

Major site of erythrocyte destruction; serves as a reservoir for blood; acts as a filter, removing microorganisms from the blood

Back 3

Spleen

Front 4

Filter bacteria and aid in the formation of white blood cells

Back 4

Tonsils

Front 5

Plays essential role in the formation of antibodies and the development of the immune response in the newborn; manufactures infection fighting T cells and helps distinguish normal T cells from those that attack the body's own tissue

Back 5

Thymus

Front 6

Transports oxygen and carbon dioxide

Back 6

Erythrocyte (red blood cell)

Front 7

Clots blood

Back 7

Thrombocyte (platelet)

Front 8

Provides body's main defense against invasion of pathogens

Back 8

Leukocyte (white blood cell)

Front 9

Protects against infection; is readily attracted to foreign antigens and destroys them by phagocytosis

Back 9

Neutrophil

Front 10

Destroys parasitic organisms; plays a key role in allergic reactions

Back 10

Eosinophil

Front 11

Plays a key role in releasing histamine and other chemicals that act on blood vessels; essential to nonspecific immune response to inflammation

Back 11

Basophil

Front 12

Provides one of the first lines of defense in the inflammatory process, phagocytosis

Back 12

Monocyte

Front 13

Provides immune capacity to the body

Back 13

Lymphocyte

Front 14

Identifies foreign antigens and differentiates into antibody-producing plasma cells
