Q1 QUESTION 1 OF 64
Anatomy of the Lymphatic System
CORRECT ANSWER
Lymph (fluid)
Lymphatic vessels
Lymphoid tissue
Lymphoid organs
Closely associated with CVS
Immune response and fluid drainage
Q2 QUESTION 2 OF 64
Lymphatic Vessels
CORRECT ANSWER
Lymphatic capillaries collect excess fluid in tissues not returned by blood capillaries (lymph)
One-way
Lymphatic trunks - large vessels combine, drain
Lymphatic ducts - merge from trunks, drain into venous
Q3 QUESTION 3 OF 64
Lymphoid Organs
Page 2
, CORRECT ANSWER
Lymph nodes - junctions of lymph vessels, filter
Spleen - extract old or defective RBCs and platelets
Thymus - T cells mature, shrinks with age
Tonsils - gather and destroy bacteria from air and food
Appendix - store gut bacteria, lymphocytes
Red bone marrow - lymphocyte development
Peyer's patches - clusters of MALT, small intestine
Q4 QUESTION 4 OF 64
Physiology of Lymphatic System
CORRECT ANSWER
Immune response
-identify invading particles and cancerous cells
-targets for destruction and eliminates
-innate (nonspecific) or adaptive (specific)
Q5 QUESTION 5 OF 64
Common Pathway
CORRECT ANSWER
Opsonization = bind to cell membrane and mark for destruction
Chemotactic agents = attract phagocytes
Membrane attack complex (MAC) = insert pores into plasma membrane of pathogen
-disrupt osmotic balance -> water into cell -> lysis
Common step: splitting of C3 protein
-C3a - attract phagocytes -> increase inflammatory
-C3b - bind to cell membrane -> protein activation to form MAC (mark for destruction)
