Lymphatic system

clear, watery fluid (like plasma) that travels through a network of nodes and channels

system that collects and drains lymph from different areas of the body and carries it through the lymphatic channels back to the venous system

The system in which lymph is placed and mixed with venous blood, to be recirculating

these are found close to and parallel to veins that carry blood to the heart

the ends of the lymph capillaries meet to form what?

the right chest and the right arm meet the right lymphatic duct, which drains into the right

the lymphatic vessels from all other parts of the body come together at the thoracic duct which drains into the

a receptacle for the lymph before the lymph passes into the thoracic duct

the fat from the intestines travels through the lymphatic system and enters the bloodstream by this mechanism

little bodies present in the lymph channels that filter lymph before it enters the bloodstream

spleen, tonsilsm adenoidsm and thymus gland

system includes cells located in many sysytems tht have the immune and lymph system functions these functions include defense against infection

lymph tissue within the intestine

soft, very vascular, oval organ located between the stomach and diaphragm in the left hypochondriac region of the body

blood channels inside the spleen

-release of hemoglobin from the destruction of old red blood cells
-storeage of blood for release when it is needed by the body
-filtration of destruction microorganisms by phagocytes
-production of red blood cells prior to bbirth, and after birth only when sever hemolytic anemias are present

organs that are really a coolection of lymphoid tissue located in the oral cavity at the fauces.

collection of lymphoid tissue

located in the pharynx and also known as the adenoid

situated close to the roof of the mouth

situated close to the rootof the tongue

mass of tissue that resembles a gland

refers the the enlargement of the pharyngeal tonsils

this organ is near the trachea in the thoracic cavity and like the tonsils, intestine, and skin, is a lymphoepithelial organ that acts in defense of foreign invasion of organisms and antigens from the outside. It is involved in lymphcyte production and is the primary site where Y-lymphcytes differentiate and become viable

the lymphoepithelial tissue in the small intestine

a group of lymphomas caused by specific cancer cells

lymphoma not considered hodgkin's disease also referred to as lymphosarcoma

condition that is spread from person to person characterized by the development of white blood cells that have one nucleus

malignant tumor of the lymph glands

inflammation of the tonsils (sometimes associated with peritonsillar abcess

collection of pus around the tonsil

bodys ability to resist organisms or poisons that tend to damage its tissues and organs

-depends on the bodys ability to develop circulating antibodies which attack an invading agent
-circulates antibodies in the fluids of the body; thus the name
-acts under the influence of tissues that are similat to tissue in birds known as bursa of fabricius.
-protects the body against some bacteria and some viral infections

tissues that are similar to birds

depends on the body's ability to develop lymphocytes, which cattack an invading agent to destroy it

specialized white blood cells that attack invading agents and destroy them

immunity is under the influence of what gland?

this immunity protects the body against viruses, fungi, some bacteria, and cancers, and it works against organs that have been transplanted

resistance to a particulat disease developed by people who have had the disease

resistance in which the antibodies that have been produced by a person currently exist

action taken that results in a person's having resistance to a particular disease

preperation used to stop or decrease the immmune response that leads to tissue injury or transplant rejection

of resistance a newborn child has received from its mother.

type of immunity in which a person does not form his own antibodies but rather are given antibodies against a specific disease from other sources

capable of acquiring a specific disease

preperation intended for active immunilogical prophylazis (dissease prevention)

the bodys response to outside invaders such as dust, dander, rag weed, and seafood "hypersensitive reaction"

produced by lyphocytes to act against such things as bacteria , viruses, or other substances considered to be antigens

substance that controls histamine, which is involved in the inflammatory process

disease in which there is an immune response to substances within the body itself

a condition in which the immune system becomes deficient and the person becomes susceptible to infection

a bacteria, protozoan, or fungus that would not normally cause an illness in a person but takes the opportunity to do so in a person with an immunedeficiency

a reaction seen as an inflammation of the lining of the nose resulting in fluid draining from the nose (a runny nose)

acute, allergic response tht occurs in a person who does not have protection from a particular antigen

allergic reaction charcterized by swelling of blood vessls close to the suraface of the skin; often seen on the mouth and lips

allergic reaction to some food causing symptoms that make it intolerable to eat certain foods

diseases in which the body sets up a defense mechanism against its own collagen or connective tissue

-dermatomyosistis
-periarterias nodosa
-rheumatoid arthritis
-scleroderma
-systemic lupus erythematosus

disorder in which the body sets up a defense that breaks down blood cells

idiopath thrombocytopenia purpura
acquired hemolytic anemia
autoimmune leukemia

the act of grafting tissue from one person to another of the same species but of a different genotype (the total of hereditary information present in a human being)

procedure in which bone marrow is transplanted into a person for the purpose of producing blood cells

organ to be transferred is taken from a dead person

situation that occurs when the body treats the transplanted tissue or organ as a foreign invader and does not allow it to function

procedure in which stemcells are tranferred from one's blood to another's

process in which stem cells are transplanted from one person's blood to another's
