Hematologic and Lymphatic Systems (part 1)
Delivery of nutrients and oxygen to cells, removal of wastes, and blood volume regulation are all function of this system.
What is the hematologic system?
These carry oxygen to body cells.
What are red blood cells?
Cells that have the ability to recognize foreign substances in the body.
What are lymphocytes?
Destruction of antigens by T cells describes a function of this type of immunity.

What is artificially acquired passive immunity?
The hepatic-portal circulation is unique because it begins and ends with these.
What are capillaries?
This helps maintain blood pressure, provides thickness to the circulating blood volume and maintains osmotic pressure within blood vessels.

What are neutrophils?
A protein substance that the body produces in response to an antigen.

A child whose classmate has measles is an example of how this type of immunity occurs.
What is naturally acquired active immunity?
An early sign of infection in the elderly.
What is a change in mental status?

What is engulfing of particulate matter?
The immunoglobulin group responsible for a latex allergy.
What is IgE?
An antigen is rendered harmless to the body during this type of immunity.
What is antibody-mediated immunity?
Immunity transferred from the mother to the fetus during pregnancy explains this type of immunity.
What is naturally acquired passive immunity?
