axillary lymph nodes
❖ located under the arms in the armpits
❖ Image: axillary lymph nodes
Lymphocytes
❖ The two types of white blood cells that are part of the
body's immune system: B lymphocytes form in the bone
marrow and release antibodies that fight bacterial
infections; T lymphocytes form in the thymus and other
lymphatic tissue and attack cancer cells, viruses, and
foreign substances.
normal range is 20-40%
cellular vs humoral immunity
❖ Cellular- aims to destroy foreign cells or host cells that
have become infected with a pathogen. T lymphocytes
,Page 3 of 72
Humoral- focuses on pathogens outside the host cells. B
lymphocytes
what organs are associated with the lymphatic system?
❖ thymus, spleen, tonsils, bone marrow, lymphatic tissue
thymus and lymphatic system
❖ Gland in the thoracic cavity above the heart where T
lymphocytes mature.
spleen and lymphatic system
❖ situated in LUQ of abdominal body cavity. blood forming
organ early in life. stores red corpuscles. contains blood-
filtering macrophages. where immune response to BBP
typically originates
, Page 4 of 72
tonsils/adenoids and lymphatic system
lymphoid structures of the lymphatic system that protect the
entry to the respiratory system
palatine tonsils vs pharyngeal tonsils
Palatine tonsils: Commonly referred to as the "tonsils"
Pharyngeal tonsils: commonly referred to as the "adenoids"
Image: palatine tonsils vs pharyngeal tonsils
peyer patches
