Lymph Part 1
Right Lymphatic Duct
Lymph from the right arm and the right side of the head and Thorax drain into the Thoracic Duct Vena Cava Right Atrium Right Lymphatic Duct
axillary lymph nodes
What is (are) the lymphoid structure(s) that are generally removed during mastectomy? spleen liver axillary lymph nodes adenoids
Cervical
What is the name of the lymph nodes that drain the head and neck region? inguinal cervical thoracic pelvic
Tonsillectomy
What is the term that refers to the removal of the palatine tonsils? appendectomy lymph node resection adenoidectomy tonsillectomy
intestinal villus
A lacteal is located within the adenoid tonsil thymus gland intestinal villus
hold water and cause edema
If proteins are allowed to accumulate in the interstitial space, they will dehydrate the tissue space block or clog the capillary pores hold water and cause edema act as antigens and cause an allergic reaction
are located in the groin
The inguinal lymph nodes line the entrance of the spleen are the Kupffer cells within the liver are located in the groin are part of the hepatic portal circulation
Subclavian Veins
The right lymphatic duct and thoracic duct empty into the jugular vein inferior vena cava portal vein subclavian veins
removes worn-out blood cells from circulation
The spleen removes worn-out blood cells from circulation is avascular is located in the RUQ secretes splenic hormones that control the entire lymphoid system
lymphoid organs
The spleen, thymus gland, tonsils, and lymph nodes are confined to the thoracic cavity lymphoid organs primarily concerned with hematopoiesis only concerned with phagocytosis
receives lymph from the large lymphatic ducts
The subclavian vein receives lymph from the large lymphatic ducts pumps blood into the large lymphatic ducts forms the thoracic duct is called a lacteal
Pharyngeal Tonsils
These structures are located near the opening of the nasal cavity in the upper throat and are also called the adenoids palatine tonsils thymus glands lingual tonsils pharyngeal tonsils
Thymus Gland
This lymphoid organ is located in the ventral cavity, thoracic cavity, and mediastinum spleen liver thymus gland adenoids
Is a hormone
Thymosin is a hormone is the fluid within the lymph nodes is secreted by all lymph nodes plays no known role
the right arm will become edematous
What happens if the lymphatic vessels and nodes are removed from the right axillary region? all lymph will drain directly into the superior vena cava the right arm will become gangrenous from lack of oxygen the right arm will become edematous the patient will experience anginal pain
Thymus Gland
What structure is concerned with the processing and maturation of T lymphocytes? medulla oblongata thymus gland coronary sinus pericardium
Interstitial Spaces
Where does lymph originally come from? Spleen Thoracic Duct Interstitial Spaces Lymph Nodes
A Hyperactive Spleen
Which of the following conditions is most likely to cause a platelet deficiency? lymphedema a hyperactive spleen lymphadenopathy infectious mononucleosis
tonsils
Which of the following is described as partially encapsulated lymph nodes located in the throat area? spleen tonsils thymus gland lacteal Tonsils
Infectious mononucleosis
Which of the following is due to a viral infection involving the lymph nodes and is called the "kissing disease"? Hodgkin's disease elephantiasis infectious mononucleosis anaphylaxis
