lymphoid tissue

  1. where is the spleen located
    left posterior abdominal wall
  2. the largest lymphoid organ is called
    the spleen
  3. what is the function of the Spleen
    Filtration of blood; old erythrocytes and platelets
  4. the site of immune response to antigens
    Spleen
  5. Is the spleen covered by connective tissue capsule?
    a, True 
    b, False
    True
  6. The Spleen is covered by
    Simple Squamous epithelium
  7. in lower animals the spleen is known as
    myofibroblasts
  8. what is a trabeculae?
    is a connective tissue septae that arises from the capsule penetrates the parenchyma
  9. The Parenchyma spleen consists of
    White and Red pulp
  10. The red pulp consists of
    • Cords of cells 
    • sinusoids
  11. the white pulp consists of
    • Thick accumulation of lymphocytes 
    • Lymphatic nodules which are derived from the germinal centers that decrease age
  12. The germinal centers
    decrease age
  13. how many arteries are present in the white pulp?
    • Capsular artery
    • Trabecular artery
    • central artery
  14. what is the capsular artery?
    it is a spleenic artery that divides into branches, which runs along a capsule
  15. what is the trabecular artery
    a spleenic artery that branches off and runs through the trabeculae
  16. what is the central artery?
    this spleenic artery are from the trabecular arteries where branches arises and run through the interior of the parenchyma
  17. During their course the T Lymphocytes immediately surrounds what vessel?
    PALS- peri arteriolar lymphatic sheath
  18. what is found around the rich layer of the T  cell ?
    this is a rich B Lymphocytes
  19. the sheath artery includes
    the central artery sorrounded by PALS ans B lymphocytes
  20. What is the marginal zone
    a rim of lymphocytes along with APCs and macrophages
  21. Function of the central artery?
    helps to differentiation from the lymph node , this is due to the development and enlargement of B lymphocytes of the germinal center on the exposure of antigens
  22. Function of marginal Zones of the nodule.
    Trap the antigen from circulation and present the antigen to lymphocytes of the spleen
