◍ -MEDULLARY. Answer: Bone marrow
◍ -OPATHY. Answer: Disease
◍ -MEGALY. Answer: Enlarged
◍ -MYELOID. Answer: White cell
◍ -META. Answer: Change
◍ -HEME. Answer: Blood
◍ -PHILIA. Answer: Increased or love of
,◍ -INTRAVASCULAR. Answer: Inside vessel
◍ -EXTRAVASCULAR. Answer: Outside vessel
◍ -HYPO. Answer: Decreased
◍ -HYPER. Answer: Increased
◍ -PLASIA. Answer: Formation
◍ -POLY. Answer: Many
◍ -ERYTHROID. Answer: RBC
◍ -LYSIS. Answer: Break up
◍ -CYTE. Answer: Cell
◍ Spleen. Answer: Largest lymphoid organ; not essential for life;
indiscriminate filter circulation blood; contains about 350 mL of
blood; involved in immunity; arteries enter the spleen and enter into
the cords (in red pulp); site of hematopoiesis for embryos
◍ Spleen Composition. Answer: White pulp "inner"; Red pulp "outer"
, White pulp consists of scattered follicles with germinal centers
containing lymphocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells.
◍ Liver. Answer: Site of hematopoiesis in embryo
◍ Bone Marrow. Answer: Largest organ in the body; is defined as a
tissue located within the cavities of the cortical bones; cavities consist
of trabecular bone resembling a honeycomb-like structure
◍ Lymph Nodes. Answer: Encapsulated collection of lymphocytes,
plasma cells, and macrophages; helps provide immunity
◍ Reticuloendothelial system. Answer: Network of cells and tissues
in the spleen, liver, thymus, bone marrow, and lymph nodes. Involved
in the formation and destruction of RBCs, metabolism of iron,
inflammation, and immunity. Cell and tissue specific. It provides cells
to fight infection, carry oxygen, and prevent bleeding.
◍ Pass through germinal centers of the white pulp. Answer: T Cells
◍ Found inside germinal centers of white pulp. Answer: B Cells
◍ Percentage of platelets in the spleen. Answer: 30 %
◍ Culling. Answer: Cells are phagocytized with the degradation of
cellular components.
