ECPI 116 A&P - Chapter 16: Lymphatic
System Questions and All Complete
Solutions.
Auto- - Answer Self
Humor - Answer Humorous
Immuno- - Answer Immunity
Patho- - Answer Disease
-gen - Answer production, formation
Vein - Answer Vessel that carries blood back to the heart
Opsonization - Answer make tasty—make antigen/antibody complex more susceptible to
phagocytosis by Chemotaxis.
Thymosin - Answer Hormones produced in the thymus; stimulates T-Cell maturation.
Allergen - Answer Substance that causes an allergic reaction
Agglutination - Answer Clumping of Red Blood Cells
Lymphocytosis - Answer Slight increase in numbers of Lymphocytes
Lymphoma - Answer Malignant Tumor of the lymph nodes and lymph tissue
Lymph Node Locations - Answer cervical, axillary, inguinal regions and in the pelvic,
abdominal, and thoracic cavities.
What are the functions of the Lymphatic System? - Answer Fight infection, control amount of
fluid in the tissue, and reabsorbing lipids back into the subclavian veins and into the
bloodstream.
, Lacteals - Answer Specialized lymph vessels in the small intestine that absorb fat into the
bloodstream
Where do Lymph capillaries start? - Answer Peripheral tissues
What two ducts is lymph drained into? - Answer Thoracic duct and right lymphatic duct.
Thoracic Duct - Answer receives lymph from the left side of the head, neck, chest, abdomen,
left arm, and lower extremities. Everything EXCEPT right arm, right shoulder, and right side of
the head.
Right Lymphatic duct - Answer receives lymph from the right upper part of the body (right
arm, right shoulder, and right side of the head).
At the END of Lymph Circulation, what VEIN do both ducts drain into? - Answer Subclavian
Vein
Lymph Circulation - Answer Lymphatic Capillary --> Lymphatic Vessel --> Lymph Node -->
Lymphatic Vessel --> Lymphatic Trunk --> Collecting Duct --> Subclavian Vein.
How is Lymph formed? - Answer Interstitial fluid
Lymph Node Structure - Answer Afferent Vessel: Lymph flows INTO the Node
Efferent Vessel: Lymph flows OUT of the node
Medulla: macrophages and T-Cells
Germinal (B-Cell) center in the outer cortex
What are the functions of the Lymph Node? - Answer Acts as a filter and filters harmful
particles out of lymph. Immune surveillance by Macrophages.
Lymphocyte production in certain areas.
How can lymph node removal result in edema? - Answer Makes it difficult for lymph fluid to
drain properly. It can cause a buildup in the places where lymph nodes were. Blockage of the
lymphatics can cause lymphedema. Surgical removal can also lead to lymphedema.
Humoral Immunity - Answer Immunity resulting from antibodies in body fluids.
What cells are associated with Humoral Immunity? - Answer B Cells
