Question 1: lymph node components

Answer:

afferent lymphatic vessels, efferent vessels, and capsule enclosing node

Question 2: MALT

Answer:

located in gastrointestinal, respiratory, genital, and urinary tracts, found in lamina propria of the mucosa, helps defend against foreign substances, prominent in small intestines (especially ileum - large collections of lymphatic nodules)

Question 3: lymphatic system

Answer:

helps immune system defend body against infectious agents, transports and houses lymphocytes and other immune cells, and returns excess fluid to blood to maintain fluid balance

Question 4: cortex of the thymus

Answer:

has immature T-lymphocytes

Question 5: lymph nodes usually occur in...

Answer:

clusters receiving lymph from body regions (i.e. axillary lymph nodes in the armpit - receive lymph from breast, axilla, and upper limb, i.e. inguinal lymph nodes in groin - receive lymph from lower limb and pelvis)

Question 6: monitoring blood as it flows through the spleen (continued)

Answer:

travel through sinusoids of red pulp (is in contact with splenic cords of red pulp, macrophages here phagocytize bacteria and foreign debris and old and defective erythrocytes and platelets) and travels through venules and out splenic veins

Question 7: secondary lymphatic structures

Answer:

no involved in lymphocyte formation, house lymphocytes and other immune cells, provide site of immune response initiation

Question 8: splenic sinusoids

Answer:

permeable capillaries, so blood cells easily exiting and drain to small venules leading to splenic vein

Question 9: tonsils

Answer:

secondary lymphatic structures found in pharynx, help protect against foreign substances inhaled or ingested, contain lymphatic nodules

Question 10: secondary lymphatic structures include

Answer:

lymph nodes, spleen, lymphatic nodules, tonsils, and MALT

Question 11: each thymic lobe...

Answer:

is surrounded by connective tissue capsule and has an outer cortex and inner medulla (both with epithelial tissue)

Question 12: organs of the lymphatic system

Answer:

tonsils, lymph nodes, spleen, and lymphatic vessels

Question 13: red pulp

Answer:

contains erythrocytes, platelets, macrophages, and B-lymphoctes, cells housed in reticular connective tissue, forming splenic cords, and has splenic sinusoids, and platelet reservoir to recenter blood as needed

Question 14: capsule enclosing node

Answer:

subdivide node into compartments

Question 15: spleen characteristics

Answer:

largest lymphatic organ, located in left upper abdominal quadrant (lateral to left kidney and posterolateral to stomach), and supplied by the splenic artery and drained by the splenic vein

Question 16: primary lymphatic structures include

Answer:

red bone marrow and the thymus

Question 17: components of lymph

Answer:

water dissolved solutes and small amount of protein, sometimes cell debris, pathogens, or metastasized cancer cells

Question 18: lymph

Answer:

fluid transported within the lymph vessels

Question 19: lymphatic vessels

Answer:

larger structures formed from lymphatic capillaries, superficial vessels positioned adjacent to superficial veins, deep vessels next to deep arteries and veins

Question 20: MALT

Answer:

mucose-associated lymphatic tissue

Question 21: characteristics of lymph

Answer:

15% of fluid entering interstitial spaces not reabsorbed into capillaries (about 3 liters daily), termed lymph once inside lymph vessels, lymph transported through network of increasing larger vessels (lymphatic capillaries, vessels, trunks, & ducts)

Question 22: swollen lymph nodes

Answer:

become tender with infection, sign that lymphocytes proliferating and fighting infection, and can palpate swollen superficial lymph nodes

Question 23: primary lymphatic structures

Answer:

involved in formation and maturation of lymphocytes

Question 24: efferent vessels

Answer:

drains node, originates at involuted potion of node, hilum

Question 25: thymus

Answer:

function in T-lymphocyte maturation, quite large in infants and young children (grows until puberty and begins to regress and much replaced by adipose tissue), consists of two fused thymic lobes

Question 26: lymph node characteristics

Answer:

small, round, or oval, encapsulated structures, located along pathways of lymph vessels, and filter lymph and remove unwanted substances
