Study Notes
Lymphatic System and Immunity
- Leukocytosis is often accompanied by an infection
- The spleen removes worn out blood cells from circulation
- The right arm may become oedematous if lymphatic vessels and nodes are removed from the right axillary region
Tonsillectomy and Thymus Gland
- Tonsillectomy is the term used for removal of palatine tonsils
- The thymus gland is responsible for processing and maturation of T lymphocytes
Lymphatic System Structures
- Lacteals are located within intestinal villi
- Lymph nodes are populated with lymphocytes and macrophages
- Lymphatic capillaries absorb tissue fluid and transport it towards the heart
Immunity and Allergies
- Band T cells are lymphocytes
- Anaphylaxis is the name of a severe hypersensitivity reaction
- If you had measles as a child, you have naturally acquired active immunity
- An allergen is called an antigen
- Band T cells represent specific immunity
Infection and Inflammation
- Redness, heat, swelling, and pain are indicative of infection/inflammation
- Macrophages engulf the pathogen to achieve antigen presentation
- Killer T cells destroy pathogens by punching holes in their cell membranes
- Memory T cells remember if the antigen is presented later in the future
Immune-related Conditions
- Infections are most common in people with AIDS
- Immunization is the term used for dead pathogens to stimulate antibody production
- Antipyretic drugs lower a fever
