10 Questions
What are the primary lymph organs?
Bone marrow and thymus
What is the function of secondary lymph organs?
Regulates antigen-driven lymphocyte expansion and produces T-Cells, B-Cells, and plasma cells
What are the tertiary lymph tissues/structures?
Collections of immune cells that resemble secondary lymph organs organized into follicular structure
What are the primary lymphoid tissues?
Spleen, thymus, bone marrow, and tonsils
What is the function of the spleen?
Detects antigens, provides defense against pathogens, produces lymphocytes and monocytes, and filters and stores some blood
What are the locations of the adenoids, palatines, and lingual tonsils?
The adenoids are located on top of the nasopharynx, the palatines are found on the oral palate, and the lingual tonsils are found on each side of the root of the tongue.
What is the function of white blood cells in tonsils?
White blood cells store food and bacteria, as well as detect foreign bodies.
What is the role of MALT in the immune system?
MALT filters antigens and detects antigens to send signals to the body's immune responses.
Where are Peyer's Patches located and what is their function?
Peyer's Patches are lymphatic tissue found around the ileum of the small intestine, and they help detect pathogens.
What is the role of GALT in the immune system?
GALT helps defend against external factors that penetrate the luminal mechanical barrier and detects mucous bacteria in the intestines.
Test your knowledge on lymph organs and tissues in this quiz! Learn about primary lymph organs such as the bone marrow and thymus, as well as secondary lymph organs like lymph nodes, spleen, and tonsils. Find out how these organs produce lymphoid cells and regulate lymphocyte expansion. Challenge yourself with questions about tertiary lymph tissues/structures too.
