lymph theory review
lymphocytes
B and T cells are
humoral immunity
Because antibodies are carried by the blood, this type of immunity is also called
histamine
Binding of the bee venom allergen to antibodies on the mast cells causes a massive release of which substance?
mechanical
Intact skin and mucous membranes are examples of what kind of barriers?
right lymphatic duct and then into the subclavian vein
Lymph from the right arm and the right side of the head and thorax drain into the
lymph nodes
Small pea-shaped structures that filter lymph as it flows through the lymphatic vessels are
reflexes
Sneezing and coughing are examples of
chemical
Tears, saliva and perspiration are examples of what kind of barriers?
Cell mediated immunity
The cell to cell contact by which T cells directly attacks the antigen?
It is a hormone secreted by the thymus gland and it produces and matures T cells
What is Thymosin and what does it do?
T cells
What is classified as killer, helper, suppressor, and memory?
B cells and plasma cells
What is most related to antibody-mediated immunity?
B and T cells
What is responsible for specific immunity?
Anaphylaxis
What is the name of a severe hypersensitivity reaction?
cervical
What is the name of the lymph nodes that drain the head and neck region?
tonsillectomy
What is the term that refers to removal of the palatine tonsils?
titer
What is the term that refers to the level of antibodies in your blood?
immunization
What is the term that refers to the use of dead or attenuated pathogens to stimulate antibody production?
small intestinal villus
A lacteal is located within the
vasodilation and bronchoconstriction
A severe anaphylactic reaction causes death by
Artificially acquired active
A vaccine provides you with what type of immunity?
antigen

T cells
HIV produces severe impairment of the immune system by attacking what cells?
Naturally acquired passive
If an infant received IgA antibodies from the mother while breastfeeding, what type of immunity does the child receive?
cause edema
If proteins are allowed to accumulate in the interstitial space, they will
Naturally acquired active
If you had measles as a child, what would best describe you immunity to measles?
Immunoglobins / Antibodies
IgE, IgA, IgM, and IgG are examples of what?
inflammation
Redness, heat, swelling, and pain are indicative of
spleen
The largest lymphoid organ
subclavian veins
The right lymphatic duct and the thoracic duct empty into the
lymphoid organs
The spleen, thymus gland, tonsils, and lymph nodes are
pharengeal tonsils
These structures are located near the opening of the nasal cavity in the upper throat and are also called the adenoids
Memory T cells
What T cells do not participate in the destruction of the pathogen, but allow for a more rapid response if the antigen is presented at a later time?
axillary lymph nodes
What are the lymphoid structures that are generally removed during a mastectomy?
T cells
What cell engages is cell-to-cell combat?
epinephrine injection
What is the treatment of choice for an anaphylactic reaction

What lymphoid organ is located in the ventral cavity, thoracic cavity, and mediastinum?
wheezing and hypotension
What medical condition is a result of a massive release of histamine?
thymus gland
What structure is concerned with the processing and maturation of the T lymphocytes?
Naturally acquired active
What type of immunity explains why you will not get chickenpox as an adult if you were infected as a child?
Naturally acquired active
What type of immunity is achieved by "getting" the disease?
Artificially acquire passive
What type of immunity is achieved by an injection of an antibody containing gamma globin?
Naturally acquired passive
What type of immunity is most related to the placentral transfer of antibodies from the mother to the fetus?
interstitial fluid
Where does lymph originally come from
B cells
Which cell is most associated with plasma cells and creates antibodies?
Helper T cells
Which cells secrete a lymphokine that stimulates both T and B cells?
Killer T cells
Which of the T cells destroys pathogens by punching holes in their cell membranes and secreting lymphokines?
macrophage
