what is the lymphatic system? - (ANSWER)system of tissues and vessels
scattered throughout the body and services almost all regions
what are the parts of the lymphatic system? - (ANSWER)tonsils, thymus, spleen,
peyer patch, small intestine, appendix, lymph nodes and vessels
functions of the lymphatic system - (ANSWER)fluid balance, protection, and
absorption of fats
lymphatic circulation is - (ANSWER)one-way system that begins in the tissues and
ends when the lymph joins the blood
lymphatic capillaries - (ANSWER)walls (endothelium) flattened epithelial cells,
more permeable, cells overlap slightly, forming one-way valves, lacteals absorb
fat, arise blindly (closed at one end)
lymphatic vessels - (ANSWER)include superficial and deep sets, right lymphatic
duct and thoracic duct
,right lymphatic duct - (ANSWER)short vessel receives only lymph that comes from
the body's superior right quadrant and empties into right subclavian vein near
heart
thoracic duct - (ANSWER)receives lymph from all parts of the body except those
superior to the diaphragm on the right side; drains into thee left subclavian vein
cisterna chyli - (ANSWER)first part of the thoracic duct enlarged to form cistern or
a temp storage pouch
movement of lymph toward heart is caused by: - (ANSWER)valves in lymphatic
vessels
contraction of lymphatic vessels
skeletal muscle contraction
breathing
roughly how many lymph nodes are in the body? - (ANSWER)about 600
lymphoid tissue - (ANSWER)distributed throughout the body and makes up
specialized organs
lymph nodes - (ANSWER)small masses of lymphatic tissue that filter the lymph
lymph - (ANSWER)fluid that circulates in the lymphatic system, clear fluid;
,hilum - (ANSWER)indented area that is the exit point for efferent lymphatic
vessels carrying lymph out of the node
cervical nodes - (ANSWER)located in the neck in deep and superficial groups,
drain parts of head and neck
axillary nodes - (ANSWER)located in armpits
tracheobronchial nodes - (ANSWER)near the trachea and around the larger
bronchial tubes
mesenteric nodes - (ANSWER)found between the two layers of peritoneum that
form the mesentry, 100-150 nodes
Inguinal nodes - (ANSWER)located in groin region, receive lymph drainage from
lower extremities and from external reproductive organs
buboes - (ANSWER)enlarged Inguinal nodes
the spleen - (ANSWER)cleanses blood through filtration and phagocytosis,
destroys old blood cells, produces red blood cells before birth, serves as a
reservoir for blood
, splenectomy - (ANSWER)surgical removal of the the spleen
lacteals - (ANSWER)specialized lymphatic capillaries in the lining of the small
intestine that absorb fats
the thymus - (ANSWER)plays a role in early immune system development, t cells
mature, shrinks after puberty, produce thymosin
appendix - (ANSWER)fingerlike tube of lymphatic tissue that figures into the
development of immunity
Mucosal-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) - (ANSWER)important barrier against
infection; found in portions of digestive, respiratory, and urogenital mucosal
linings; helps to destroy contaminants by means of phagocytosis and production
of antibodies
gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT) - (ANSWER)largest aggregations of MALT
found in the digestive tract
tonsils - (ANSWER)protect against inhaled or ingested contaminants; trap
pathogens;surgery to treat if become infected or swollen and reoccurs which
makes swallowing and breathing difficult
palatine tonsils - (ANSWER)oval bodies located at each side of the soft palate;
generally what one refers to as "tonsils"
