Question
Answer
lymphatic system   show
🗑
show an elaborate drainage system that transports fluids back to the blood vascular systems; flows only toward the heart; thin walled  
🗑
lymphatic tissues and organs   show
🗑
show fluid that is not transfered back to blood vascular system, impairs the ability of tissue cells to exchanged interstitial fluid with blood  
🗑
show excess tissue fluid  
🗑
lymph capillaries   show
🗑
lymph nodes   show
🗑
lymphatic collecting vessels   show
🗑
show drains lymph from the right arm and right side of the head and thorax  
🗑
show receives lymph from the rest of the body  
🗑
subclavian veins   show
🗑
macrophages   show
🗑
lymphocytes   show
🗑
show tonsils, thymus, spleen, peyer's patches; reticular connective tissue; only the lymph node filters lymph  
🗑
show each node is surrounded by a fibrous capsule  
🗑
show strands from the fibrous capsule of the lymph node  
🗑
cortex   show
🗑
follicles   show
🗑
germinal center   show
🗑
plasma cells   show
🗑
show in the lymph node where phagocytic macrophages are located  
🗑
show lymph enters the convex side of a lymph node through these  
🗑
sinuses   show
🗑
hilum   show
🗑
efferent lymphatic vessels   show
🗑
spleen   show
🗑
show functions at peak levels only during youth, low in throat overlying the heart; produces thymosin, functions in programing of lymphocytes; protective role  
🗑
show lymphoid tissue ringing the pharynx; traps and removes any bacteria or foreign pathogens; can become congested with bacteria, becoming tontillitis  
🗑
peyer's patches   show
🗑
show peyer's patches and tonsils, acting as sentinel to protect upper respiratory and digestive tracts  
🗑
immune system   show
🗑
show responds immediately to protect the body from all foreign substances; mechanical barriers that cover body surfaces, the initial battlefront to protect the body  
🗑
show mounts the attack against particular foreign substances; two armed system, humoral arm and cellular arm  
🗑
immunity   show
🗑
pathogens   show
🗑
show skin and mucous membranes  
🗑
show enzyme that destroys bacteria  
🗑
show inhibits bacterial growth, containing chemicals that are toxic to bacteria  
🗑
show hydorchloric acid and protein-digesting enzymes kill pathogens; sticky mucus traps microorganisms that enter digestive and respiratory passages  
🗑
second line of defense   show
🗑
show macrophage or neutrophil engulf a foreign particle; flowing cytoplasmic extensions bind to the particle and pull it inside, closing it in vacuole, fused with lysosome and contents are broken down or digested  
🗑
show police the body in blood and lymph, lymphocytes that can lyse and kill cancer cells and virus-infected body cells; act spontaneously against any target by recognizing certain sugars on the intruder's surface; not phagocytic, release perforins  
🗑
perforin   show
🗑
show redness, heat, swelling, pain  
🗑
histamine and kinins   show
🗑
chemotaxis   show
🗑
diapedesis   show
🗑
pus   show
🗑
antimicrobial proteins   show
🗑
complement proteins   show
🗑
interferon   show
🗑
show produce lesions, complete with holes, in the foreign cell surface, allowing water into the cell, causing it to burst  
🗑
complement fixation   show
🗑
pyrogens   show
🗑
opsonization   show
🗑
immune response   show
🗑
third line of defense   show
🗑
immunology   show
🗑
antigen specific   show
🗑
systemic   show
🗑
show immune response is remembered and mounts even stronger attacks on previously encountered pathogens  
🗑
show provided by antibodies present in the bodys fluids  
🗑
show protective factor is living cells, lymphocytes defend the body directly by lysing the cells or indirectly by releasing chemicals that increase inflammatory response  
🗑
antigen   show
🗑
nonself   show
🗑
self-antigens   show
🗑
show the molecule that causes allergies; an attack on our body that is harmful rather than productive  
🗑
B lymphocytes (B cells)   show
🗑
T lymphocytes (T cells)   show
🗑
gene determined   show
🗑
cytokines   show
🗑
primary humoral response   show
🗑
clone   show
🗑
show lymphocyte begins to grow and multiplies rapidly to form an army of cells all like itself, bearing same antigen-specific receptors  
🗑
show more effective and quick, due to memory of primary immune response  
🗑
show B cells encounter antigens and produce antibodies against them  
🗑
show artificially aquired immunity  
🗑
show pathogens in vaccines that are living but extremely weakend  
🗑
show B cells are not challenged by the immune response, memory does not occur and temporary protection ends when response degrades  
🗑
show used for diagnosing pregnancy, hepatitis, rabies; antibodies prepared commercialy for research and clinical testing  
🗑
show immunoglobulins (IG's); the gamma globulin part of blood proteins  
🗑
show 4 amino acids chains linked by disulfide bonds, 2 heavy chains, 2 light chains, half as long as heavy chains  
🗑
variable region (V)   show
🗑
show the larger end of the chain forming the antibody  
🗑
show the variable regions of the heavy and light chains in the antibody combine to form this site, shaped to fit its specific antigen  
🗑
show IgM, IgA, IgD, IgG, IgE  
🗑
show complement fixation, neutralization, agglutination, precipitation  
🗑
show when antibodies bind to specific sites on bacterial exotoxins, blocking harmful effects of the exotoxin or virus  
🗑
agglutination   show
🗑
show immobilized antigen molecules  
🗑
show the process of the "T cell" recognizing self and activating correct response  
🗑
show specialize in killing virus infected, cancer or foreign graft cells; release perforins and granzymes  
🗑
helper T cells   show
🗑
regulatory T cells   show
🗑
autografts   show
🗑
show tissue grafts donated by genetically identical person  
🗑
allografts   show
🗑
show tissue grafts harvested from a different animal species  
🗑
show medications to prevent organ or tissue rejection  
🗑
autoimmune diseases   show
🗑
show abnormaly vigorous immune responses in which immune system causes tissue damage as it fights off threat that would otherwise be harmless to the body  
🗑
show flood of histamine bind to mast cells, blood vessels become dilated and leaky, largely to blame for symptoms of allergy  
🗑
anaphylactic shock   show
🗑
show cytokines released by activated T cells, antihistamines are not helpful; such as contact dermatitis  
🗑
allergic contact dermatitis   show
🗑
show congenital and acquired conditions in which the production or function of immune cells or complement is abnormal  
🗑
severe combined immunodeficiency disease (SCID)   show
🗑
acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS)   show
🗑
complete antigens   show
🗑
granzymes   show
🗑
show important in activation of B cell; always attached to B cell  
🗑
IgM   show
🗑
IgG   show
🗑
show monomer in plasma, dimer in secretions such as saliva, tears, intestinal juice, milk; bathes and protects mucosal surfaces from pathogens  
🗑
IgE   show
🗑
