Lymphatic And Immune System

Front 1

Lymphatic System functions

Back 1

plays role in immunity by removing bacteria and debris from the body

drains excess fluids from around body tissues and sends them back to the blood

takes any lipid that may have leaked through intestinal walls and sends back to blood

Front 2

3 compnents of lyphatic system

Back 2

lymph
lymphatic vessels
lymphatic organs

Front 3

lymph

Back 3

clear liquid that has the indentical make up of interstitial fluid. Difference=llocation

Front 4

function of lymph

Back 4

carry bacteria and debris to the lymphatic structures so the can be elimnated

Front 5

lymphatic vessels

Back 5

always begin as lymphatic capillaries that join together forming the larger vessels

Front 6

lymphatic vessels are strucurall

Back 6

most similar to veins howerver their walls tend to be much thinner and they have more valves

Front 7

lymphatic vessels in the region of the skin

Back 7

. always parallel veins but deep in the body the parallel arterys

Front 8

Lacteals

Back 8

Lymphatic vessels in and around the SI that are highly specialized. carry extra lipid that may not have been digested back in to the blood.

Front 9

Chyle

Back 9

Lipids make lymph in the region of the SI milky

Front 10

2 major lymphatic vessels

Back 10

thoracic duct
R lymphatic

Front 11

thoracic duct

Back 11

drains lymph from everywhere else in the body and emptys into th L sub claviean and emptys into the blood

Front 12

R lymphatic

Back 12

drains lymph from the VRQ and returns it to the circulatory system through the R subclavian vein

Front 13

moving lymph is

Back 13

pumpless

Front 14

2 ways lymph moves

Back 14

contraction
pressure

Front 15

contraction - for movement of lymph

Back 15

contraction of skeletal muscles which compress lymphatic vessels and move lymph toward sub clavian veins

Front 16

movement of lymph by pressure

Back 16

pressure changes that occur during breathing

Front 17

lymphatic structures

Back 17

spleen
lymph nodes
tonsils
thymus

Front 18

lymph nodes appearance

Back 18

bean shaped structures embeded deep in lymphatic structures

1-1/2 "

Front 19

function of lymph node

Back 19

filter bacteria out of blood then phagocytes in the node eat and destroy bacteria

Front 20

4 major locations of lymph nodes

Back 20

cervical
axillary
mammillary
inguinal

Front 21

tonsils

Back 21

rings of lymphatic tissue that destroy bacteria before it enters the respritory and digestive system

Front 22

3 groups of tonsils

Back 22

palatine
lingual
pharangeal

Front 23

palatine

Back 23

tonsils toward back of hard palette

Front 24

lingual

Back 24

tonsils under tongue

Front 25

pharangeal

Back 25

tonsils at entrance to nasopharynx

Front 26

MALT

Back 26

mucosa associated lymphatic tissue

tonsils plus the peyere patches together

Front 27

spleen attributes

Back 27

vascualr large soft organ largest mass of lymphatic tissue in the body

Front 28

location of spleen

Back 28

L of the abd cavity

Front 29

Before birth the spleen

Back 29

makes RBCs

Front 30

function of spleen

Back 30

breaks down old RBCs when they are no longer needed and then sends them to the liver for detox,

Front 31

If there is no spleen the RBCs

Back 31

go straight to the liver

Front 32

the spleen function for bacteria

Back 32

filter and remove bacteria from bl

Front 33

spleen role in b cells

Back 33

place where they become activated

Front 34

spleen role for platlets

Back 34

store extra platlets until they are needed for clotting

Front 35

If a bone disesase is developed and RBCs cannot be produced in marrow

Back 35

the spleen kicks in and starts producing again

Front 36

MALT

Back 36

mucosa associated lymphatic tissue

tonsils plus the peyere patches together

Front 37

spleen attributes

Back 37

vascualr large soft organ largest mass of lymphatic tissue in the body

Front 38

location of spleen

Back 38

L of the abd cavity

Front 39

Before birth the spleen

Back 39

makes RBCs

Front 40

function of spleen

Back 40

breaks down old RBCs when they are no longer needed and then sends them to the liver for detox,

Front 41

If there is no spleen the RBCs

Back 41

go straight to the liver

Front 42

the spleen function for bacteria

Back 42

filter and remove bacteria from bl

Front 43

spleen role in b cells

Back 43

place where they become activated

Front 44

spleen role for platlets

Back 44

store extra platlets until they are needed for clotting

Front 45

If a bone disesase is developed and RBCs cannot be produced in marrow

Back 45

the spleen kicks in and starts producing again

Front 46

The spleen is not

Back 46

a life sustaining organ

Front 47

thymus attributes

Back 47

mass of lumphatic tissue locatied posterior to the sternum laterall to the trachea medial to the lungs and superior to the heart.

Front 48

the size of thymus

Back 48

largest at birth continues to get smaller til puberty where it eventually will atrophy.

Front 49

Function of thymus

Back 49

a place where T cells mature. Plays a role in ummunity

Front 50

Immunity

Back 50

the bodys ability to respond to the presense of a foreign invader and destroy and get rid of it with out medication

Front 51

antigen

Back 51

any substance that is capable of producinf an immune response in the body

Does not have to cause disesase but it could

Front 52

pathoget

Back 52

disease causeing organims or its toxin

Front 53

all pathogens are

Back 53

antigens.

Front 54

resistance

Back 54

Our bodys ability to fight off disease at any given time. can change rapidly

Front 55

suseptibility

Back 55

lack of resistance

Front 56

anitbody

Back 56

Front 57

2 types of resistance

Back 57

non specific
