Lymphatic System

Front 1

Names the structures that ensure the one way flow of lymph through the node?

Back 1

Valves in the Afferent & Efferent Lymphatic

Front 2

why is there fewer efferent than afferent

lymphatic associated with lymph nodes?

Back 2

It slows the flow lymph through the node allowing time for immune cells & macrophages to respond to foreign substances present in the lymph

Front 3

which cell type is found in greatest abundance in the germinal centers?

Back 3

B lymbphocytes

Front 4

what is the function of their daughter cells, the plasma cell?

Back 4

they produce & Release

antibodies

Front 5

what is the major cell type in cortical areas other than the germinal centers?

Back 5

T Lymbphocytes

Front 6

the third important cell type in lymph nodes (usually found clustered around medullary

sinuses) are the ? these cells act as ?

Back 6

Macrophages, phagocytes

Front 7

lymph nodes

Back 7

monitor composition of lymph

Front 8

fibrin mesh

Back 8

wall off the area of injury

Front 9

increased blood flow

Back 9

accounts for redness & heat in an in flamed area

Front 10

spleen

Back 10

a blood reservoir

Front 11

neutrophils

Back 11

first phagocytes to migrate into the injured area

Front 12

diapedesis

Back 12

leukocytes pass through the wall of a capillary

Front 13

macrophages

Back 13

phagocytic off spring of

monocytes

Front 14

edema

Back 14

results from accumulation of

fluid leaked from the blood stream

Front 15

chemotaxis

Back 15

cellular migration directed by a chemical gradient

Front 16

histamie

Back 16

inflammatory chemical released by injured cell

Front 17

thymus

Back 17

located between the lungs at the base of the throat

Front 18

name three body regions of the largest collections of lymph nodes are found?

Back 18

cervical, axillary, inguinal

Front 19

inflammatory chemical

Back 19

promote release of

white blood cells

from the bone marrow

Front 20

peyer's Patches

Back 20

collectively called malt & prevents bacteria from breaching the intesting wall

Front 21

initial response to on antigen, gearing-up stage

Back 21

primary

Front 22

a log period of several days occurs before antibodies specific to the antigen appear in blood stream

Back 22

primary

Front 23

antibody levels increase rapidly and remains high for an extended period

Back 23

secondary

Front 24

immunological memory is

established

Back 24

primary

Front 25

the second, third and subsequent responses to the same antigen

Back 25

secondary

Front 26

binds with are releases chemicals that activate B cell, T cell, macrophages

Back 26

helper T cell

Front 27

activated by recognizing both its antigen & a self protein presented on the surface of a macrophage

Back 27

helper T cell

Front 28

turns off the immune

response when in

"enemy has been routed"

Back 28

regulatory T cell

Front 29

directly attacks and lyses cellular pathogens

Back 29

cytotoxic T cell

Front 30

initiates secondary response to a

recognized antigen

Back 30

memory T cell
