Exercise # 35, 36, 37, 38, 39

front 1

Explain why the lymphatic system is a one-way system, whereas the blood vascular system is a two-way system.

back 1

Blood vessels form a complete circuit from and to the heart. The lymphatic system lacks arteries and begins with blind-ended lymph capillaries. Thus, it is a "return" system only.

front 2

How do lymphatic vessels resemble veins?

back 2

They are thin walled and have valves.

front 3

How do lymphatic capillaries differ from blood capillaries?

back 3

Lymph capillaries are more permeable and are blind ended; they have no "feeder" arterioles.

front 4

What is the function of the lymphatic vessels?

back 4

To pick up and return excess tissue fluid (and leaked proteins) to the blood vascular.

front 5

Who do you give all your money too?

back 5

Nam Nguyen

front 6

front 14

What are the two major functions of the lymph nodes?

back 14

(1)To remove debris from the lymph and (2) provide a site for cloning and multiplication of lymphocytes.

front 15

The radical mastectomy is an operation in which a cancerous breast, surrounding tissues, and the underlying muscles of the anterior thoracic wall, plus the axillary lymph nodes, are removed. After such an operation, the arm usually swells, or becomes edematous,and is very uncomfortable--sometimes for months. Why?

back 15

The lymphatic fluid is not being drained form the area due to a disruption of lymphatic vessels and nodes.

front 16

What is the function of B cells in the immune response?

back 16

Upon antigen challenge, they clone to produce daughter cells, most of which are plasma cells that release antibodies to the blood. (Humoral response)

front 17

What is the role of T cells?

back 17

They mount cell-mediated immunity. Attack virus-infected cells, tumor cells, bacteria,etc. Also activate b cells and enhancee the migration of other WBCs into the area to help destroy antigens.

What is autoimmune disease?

back 21

An ability of the immune system to recognize self, resulting in attack of self cells by the immune system.

front 22

What structural characteristic ensures a slow flow of lymph through a lymph node?

back 22

There are more afferent than efferent vessels.

front 23

Why is efferent vessels desirable?

back 23
