|
Definition
| The lymphatic organ that functions to destroy aged erythrocytes |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
- formed by a seepage of fluid from blood -primarily water -contains lymphocytes - transports antigens - a means for lymphocytes to circulate |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
- accumilation of immune cells - usually found in loose CT underneath an epitheilal sheet in the GI tract, RT, and genitourinary tract -recognize foreign antigens that have broken through the epitheilal barriers |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
- groups of B-lymphocytes in CT - contain immune cells that react to foreign molecules and start to destroy them |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
- primary lymphatic organ - location for B-cell or B-lymphocyte maturation |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
- Primary Lymphatic Organ - major function is the maturation of T-cells or T-lymphocytes - if this is missing, there will be no T cells and you will be prone to infections -organized into a cortex and medulla |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| - contains immature T-cells that cannot function in immune reactions |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| - contains T-cells that can leave the thymus and function in the body to combat antigens and infections |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
- secondary lymphatic organ - function in the filtering of lymph - remove dead bacteria, etc. -organized into a cortex, deep cortex, and medulla |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| - contains lymphatic nodules with lots of B cells |
|
|
Term
| Deep Cortex of the Lymph Node |
|
Definition
| - part of the lymph node that contains lots of T cells |
|
|
Term
| Medulla of the Lymph Node |
|
Definition
| - part of the lymph node that contains lots of plasma cells |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
- secondary lymphatic organ - largest lymphatic organ |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
- functions in hemopoiesis (blood formation) during fetal development - destruction of aged and abnormal red blood cells - filtration of blood - activated T and B cells and produces antibodies - resivoir for erythrocytes and platelets |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
- contains a blood vessel called a central artery - contains lymphatic nodules with B cells - contains a Periarterial lymphatic sheath (PALS) with T cells |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
- the material surrounding the white pulp - contains all the possible types of blood and immune cells - contains a capillary called a splenic sinusoid |
|
|
Term
| Flow of lymph through a lymph node |
|
Definition
- enters a lymph node and flows through the tissue -lymph is slowed down and particulate matter and degenerating cells are removed from the lymph - antibodies and T and B lymphocytes and added to the lymph as it passes through the lymph node |
|
