Lymphatic System
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Collects and returns interistital fluid to the blood and thus helps maintain fluid balance | lymphatic system |
| a type of connective tissue with large numbers of lymphoctes | lymph tissue |
| The lymph systems types of lymphatic vessels | lymph capillaries, lymphactics, lymph ducts |
| Conduct lymph to larger vesels called lymphatics | lymph capillaries |
| Masses of lymph tissue surrounded by a connective tissue capsule main function to filter the lymph | lymph nodes |
| Masses of lymph tissue major function is to filter interstital fluid | Tonsils |
| Adenoids | pharyngeal tonsils |
| Oval masses of lymphatictissue are thickenings in the mucous membrane ofthe throat | Palatine tonsils |
| The largest organ of the lymphatic system | Spleen |
| Main function of the spleen | Filter blood |
| A recognition of foreign or harmful molecules and an action aimed at eliminating them | Immune response |
| Provide general protection against pathogens | Nonspecific immune responses |
| Precise responses against specific foreign molecules that have gained entrance to the body | Specific immune responses |
| Any molecule that can be recognized as foreign by cells if the immune system | Antigen |
| Highly specific proteins that recognize and bind to specific antigens | Antibodies |
| large group of peptides and protiens that cells use to signal one another | Cytokines |
| Diverse group of protiens secreted mainly by macrophages and lymphocytes | Interleukins |
| Cells that ingest bacteria and other foreign matter | phagocytes |
| Most common type of white blood cell | Neutrophils |
| The phagocytes of the immune systems | Macrophages, Neutrophils |
| Large granular lymphocytes that orignate in the bone marrow | Natural Killer cells |
| Three main types of lymphocytes | T cells, B cells, NK cells |
| T cells are responsible for | cell-mediated immunity |
| B cells are responsible for | Antibody-mediated immunity |
