Detailed information about the lymphatic system, focusing on the structure and functions of various lymphatic organs and cells, such as lymph nodes, spleen, thymus, and lymphatic vessels. Topics covered include the roles of lymphatic organs in immune responses, the functions of lymphatic nodules and their subdivisions, the origins and functions of t cells and their interactions with epithelial cells in the thymus, and the roles of various antimicrobial proteins and cells in immune responses.

Chemotaxis
What happens during emigration of phagocytic cells in inflammation? - correct answer First neutrophils, then they die off, then macrophages What causes a fever? - correct answer Often because toxins from bacteria trigger macrophages to release interleukin 1 (resets thermostat in hypothalmus) What are antigens? - correct answer Substances not recognized as "self" and cause an immune response What is a complete antigen? - correct answer has 2 functional properties: immunogenicity and reactivity What is the ability of an antigen to provoke an immune response called? - correct answer Immunogenicity What is the ability of an antigen to react with those specific antibodies or immune cells that the immune rxn provoked? - correct answer Reactivity What are the size of most antigens? - correct answer large complex molecules with a molecular weight of 10,000 daltons or more Besides being proteins, what are four other things that antigens can be? - correct answer Nucleic acids, lipoproteins, glycoproteins, and polysaccharides Are polymers with simple repeating units antigenic? - correct answer No What are the small parts of an antigen that trigger an immune response? - correct answer Epitopes Since epitopes have immunogenicity, what do they stimulate? - correct answer Production of Ab and T cells
How do immucompetent B cells arise? - correct answer Pluripotent stem cells in red bone marrow>develop in primary lymphatic tissues>make antigen receptors that recognize antigens>Fully mature in bone marrow (continues throughout life) How do immucompetent Tcells arise? - correct answer Pluripotent stem cells in red bone marrow>develop in primary lymphatic tissues>make antigen receptors that recognize antigens>Go from the bone marrow to the thymus to complete maturation (most maturation occurs before puberty) Besides an antigen receptor, what else do T cells have on their membrane? - correct answer CD4 and CD-8 receptors What type of cell is responsible for antibody mediated immunity (also called Humoral immunity)? - correct answer B cells>plasma cells>secrete antibodies What type of cell is responsible for cell mediated response/immunity? - correct answer T cells CD-8 T cells>T cytotoxic CD-4 T cells>T helper cells What is antibody mediated immunity especially effective against? - correct answer Extracellular An, An in body fluids, extracellular pathogens that multiply in body fluids What is cell mediated response/immunity especially effective against? - correct answer Intracellular pathogens CELLS ATTACKING CELLS -Forign transplanted tissue -Protist or helminth parasite -Some cancer cells Which cells directly bind antigens in lymph, interstitial fluid, plasma? - correct answer B cells
