75
Lymph -
Lymph helps remove wastes, toxins, and other harmful substances from the body.
76
Lymphatic vessels -
include the capillaries and ducts. lymphatic vessels contain one-way
valves that propel lymph away from the body tissues and toward the thoracic cavity
77
Lymphatic capillaries
are thin-walled, microscopic tubes that carry lymph to larger vessels
and lymphatic tissues throughout the body
78
Lymphatic Ducts
the right lymphatic duct drains lymph from the right arm and the right side of the head and thorax.
The thoracic duct, situated in the chest, drains lymph from the lower right side and the left side of
the body.
79
Lymph nodes
small, bean-shaped structures located throughout the body.
80
Lymph nodes
filter foreign substances, such as viruses and bacteria, from lymph before lymph is
returned to the blood.
81
Thymus -
secretes thymosin, a hormone that stimulates the bone marrow to
manufacture T lymphocytes (T cells). T lymphocytes mature in the thymus, enter
the bloodstream, and defend the body against infectious agents
82
Tonsils -
small masses of lymphatic tissue that form a protective ring in the
pharynx (throat) and nasal cavity. They protect by trapping pathogens that enter
the throat and nasal cavities
83
Spleen
filters the blood by destroying worn-out erythrocytes in a process called hemolysis
- the breaking down of red blood cells.
Produces lymphocytes, stores thrombocytes, and serves as a reservoir for blood,
which can be released into circulation when the body has experienced blood loss.
In short, the spleen controls the amount of blood in your body
84
Liver
the liver filters the blood through hemolysis and serves as a storehouse for
healthy erythrocytes.
85
Peyer’s patches -
small bundles of lymphatic tissue in the walls of the small
intestines. Their primary function is to protect
85
Neutrophils
destroy harmful pathogens by eating, or
swallowing, them.
86
Eosinophils
secrete chemicals to attack disease-causing parasites,
and respond during an allergic reaction by causing inflammation.
87
Basophils
contain histamine and heparin, and are involved in
inflammatory responses.
88
Monocytes
large, single-nucleus phagocytes that ingest and dispose of dead or dying
cells and tissues
89
Lymphocytes
involved immune surveillance, or the process of detecting and destroying
foreign cells in the body
90
Helper cells
aid B lymphocytes (B cells) in
recognizing antigens and stimulating antibody
(immunoglobulin) production.
91
Cytotoxic cells
attach themselves
to antigens—substances that are harmful, or perceived by the body as
harmful—and destroy them.
92
Natural killer cells
target pathogenic cells by
recognizing certain sugars present on their surfaces
93
B-cells
are involved in an immune response called humoral immunity.
93
Suppressor cells
slow or stop the activity of B or T cells once
a disease-causing invader has been controlled or destroyed
94
Immunoglobulin A
antibodies are found in the respiratory and
gastrointestinal tracts
95
Immunoglobulin D
antibodies are found in blood plasma in very small
amounts
96
Immunoglobulin E
antibodies are secreted by plasma cells in the skin,
tonsils, and respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts
97
Immunoglobulin G
antibodies are the main defense against infectious
invaders in the body. Immunoglobulin G makes up about 75 percent of all
immunoglobulins in the body.
98
Immunoglobulin M
antibodies help fight blood infections.
99
Natural immunity
is the type of immunity with which you were born.
100
Acquired immunity
is the body’s ability to protect itself against a
specific bacterium, virus, toxin, or other foreign substance.
101
Acquired passive immunity
is short-term, and can be developed
