LYMPHATIC SYSTEM
CHAP. 20
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| THE LYMPH NODES, THYMUS GLAND, SPLEEN, AND TONSILS ARE | LYMPHOID ORGANS |
| A PARTIALLY ENCAPSULATED LYMPH NODE IS | A TONSIL |
| THE ADENOIDS ARE ALSO KNOWN AS | TONSILS |
| WHAT IS THE NAME OF THE SUBSTANCE FROM WHICH LYMPH IS MADE? | TISSUE FLUID |
| A TONSILLECTOMY IS MOST OFTEN PERFORMED ON WHICH SET OF TONSILS? | PALATINE |
| A RADICAL MASTECTOMY WITH LYMPH NODE DISSECTION IS LIKELY TO CAUSE? | LYMPHEDEMA |
| CANCER OF THE BREAST FIRST METASTASIZES TO THE | AXILLAYR LYMPH NODES |
| THIS EMPTIES LYMPH INTO THE SUBCLAVIAN VEINS | THE THORACIC DUCT |
| 3 TONSILS ARE: | PALATINE, PHARYNGEAL, AND LINGUAL |
| 4 LYMPHOID ORGANS ARE: | LYMPH NODES, TONSILS, THYMUS GLAND, AND SPLEEN |
| 3 COLLECTION OF LYMPH NODES ARE: | CERVICAL, AXILLARY, AND INGUINAL |
| THE 2 LARGE LYMPHATIC DUCTS ARE: | RIGHT LYMPHATIC DUCT AND THORACIC DUCT |
| A GLAND LOCATED IN THE UPPER THORAX; IT IS MOST ACTIVE DURING EARLY LIFE AND IS CONCERNED WITH THE PROCESSING AND MATURATION OF T LYMPHOCYTES | THYMUS |
| TISSUE FLUID THAT ENTERS THE LYMPHATIC VESSELS | LYMPH |
| LYMPH FROM THE RIGHT ARM AND THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE HEAD AND THORAX DRAIN INTO THEIS LARGE DUCT | RIGHT LYMPHATIC DUCT |
| HORMONE SECRETED BY THE THYMUS GLAND | LYMPH NODES |
| ACTS AS A STORAGE RESERVOIR FOR BLOOD | SPLEEN |
| SMALL, PEA-SHAPED STRUCTURES THAT FILTER LYMPH AS IT FLOWS THROUGH LYMPHATIC VESSELS | LYMPH NODES |
| ABDOMINAL ORGAN THAT RESEMBLES A LARGE LYMPH NODE; IT FILTERS BLOOD RATHER THAT LYMPH | SPLEEN |
| COST OF THE LYMPH OF THE BODY DRAINS INTO THIS LARGE DUCT | THORACIC DUCT |
| CONTAINS RED PULP AND WHITE PULP; IT IS THE LARGEST LYMPHOID ORGAN IN THE BODY | SPLEEN |
| THE RIGHT LYMPHATIC DUCT AND THE THORACIC DUCT EMPTY LYMPH INTO THESE BLOOD VESSELS | SUBCLAVIAN VEINS |
| LYMPH NODES THAT DRAIN THE UPPER EXTREMITIES, SHOULDERS, AND BREAST AREAS | AXILLARY |
| SMALL MASSES OF LYMPHOID TISSUE (TONSILS) LOCATED AT THE OPENING OF THE ORAL CAVITY INTO THE PHARYNX | PALATINE |
| TONSILS LOCATED AT THE BACK OF THE TONGUE | LINUAL |
| LYMPH NODES THAT DRAIN THE HEAD AND NECK AREA | CERVICAL |
| TONSILS LOCATED NEAR THE OPENING OF THE NASAL CAVITY IN THE UPPER PHARYNX; ALSO CALLED THE ADENOIDS | PHARYNGEAL |
| LYMPH NODES THAT DRAIN LYMPH FROM THE LOWER EXTREMITIES AND THE GROIN AREA | INGUINAL |
