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
