Updated.
Ann Arbor Staging System - Answer the staging system for lymphomas, both in Hodgkin's
lymphoma (previously called Hodgkin's disease) and Non-Hodgkin lymphoma
What does lymphatic system consist of? - Answer Lymphatic vessels, lymphoid tissue including
palantine and phalaryngeal tonsils, lymph nodes, spleen, and the thymus gland
Where are palantine lymph nodes? - Answer
Castleman disease - Answer Rare illness involving the overgrowth of lymphoid tissue.
Proliferation of lymphatic cells (giant lymph node hyperplasia)
How do lymphatic vessels differ from veins? - Answer Thinner walls, more valves, and nodes at
certain intervals
What do thinner walls of lymphatic vessels allow for? - Answer An increased degree of
permeability allowing larger molecules and some particulate matter to be removed from the
interstitial spaces.
What is only way that proteins which accumulate in interstitial fluid can be returned to blood
system? - Answer Lymphatic vessels
fascia - Answer a band or sheet of fibrous connective tissue that covers, supports, and
separates muscle
filaria - Answer Lymphatic Helminthic Disease
transmitted by biting insects; causes elephantitis
Lacteals - Answer specialized lymph vessels in the vili of the small intestine that absorb fat and
other nutrients into the bloodstream
,lymph - Answer a colorless fluid containing white blood cells, that bathes the tissues and
drains through the lymphatic system into the bloodstream.
Where do lymphatic ducts empty? - Answer Junction of left and right internal jugulars and left
and right subclavian veins
SPleen functions - Answer RBC and platelet destruction, hematopoesis (secretes EPO), and
defense.
Largest organ in lymphatic system? - Answer spleen
lymphedema - Answer swelling due to an abnormal accumulation of lymph fluid within the
tissues
lymphoma - Answer malignant tumor of lymph nodes and lymph tissue
myeloma - Answer tumor of the bone marrow
Reed-Sternberg Cell - Answer Hodgkin's lymphoma
Spleen - Answer An organ that is part of the lymphatic system; it produces lymphocytes, filters
the blood, stores blood cells, and destroys old blood cells.
Thymus gland - Answer a lymphoid organ situated in the neck of vertebrates that produces T
cells for the immune system. The human thymus becomes much smaller at the approach of
puberty.
Tonsils - Answer Paired masses of lymphatic tissue near the back of the throat that help trap
inhaled or swallowed pathogens.
Leukemia - Answer Malignant neoplasm of the blood-forming organs; characterized by an
abnormal over production of immature forms of any of the leukocytes; interference with
normal blood production that results in decreased number of RBCs and platelets
, lymphadenopathy - Answer A chronic, abnormal enlargement of the lymph nodes, usually
associated with disease
Prognosis of leukemia - Answer Variable
Death usually from a complication infection or hemorrhage
Acute (rapid and severe) prognosis worse than chronic
Treatment of leukemia - Answer Chemotherapy
Bone marrow transplant
Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia - Answer Cells affected: Lymphocytes (B-cell)
Acute myelogenous leukemia - Answer Cells affected: Granulocytes
Acute monocytic leukemia - Answer Cells affected: Monocytes
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia - Answer Cells affected: B lymphocytes
Chronic myelogenous leukemia - Answer Cells affected: Granulocytes
hairy cell leukemia - Answer Cells affected: B lymphocytes
Acute Lymphatic Leukemia - Answer Supress bone marrow
Common in young children
S&S non-specific eg failure to thrive, weight loss, anemia, bone pain, pallor, anemia, swollen
lymph nodes.
Lymphatic Disorders - Answer Lymphomas :
Hodgkins Lymphoma
Non-hodgkin's Lymphoma
Multiple Myeloma or Plasma Cell Myeloma
