The inguinal node is found near the ___________ region.
groin
This organ filters the blood storing a rich supply of blood. It is responsible for removing worn out RBCs and sorting and recycling waste and iron as needed. It serves as a reservoir for blood in emergency cases.
Spleen
Inflammation is a nonspecific defensive response to tissue damage or irritation. It includes 4 classic symptoms. Name at least 3
Heat
Redness
Swelling
Pain
This is what we call a foreign substance or toxin that, when introduced to the body, produces an immune response - often causing the production of antibodies.
Antigen

artificially acquired, active immunity.
A word part meaning gland:
-somato
-adeno
-tropin
-poiesis
adeno
A cervical lymph node would be found in the _____. They often become enlarged during a ___________.
Neck
Respiratory Infection
This organ plays a role in immunity development in early life. Some T cells mature here before going out to fight infections.
Thymus
These cells participate in nonspecific immunity. They just "destroy" it all.
Natural Killer Cells (NK cells)
This protein binds with a specific antigen. They will attach to the foreign substance and remove them from your body.
Antibody
If I get the flu this year, I will not get it again because I have developed __________ acquired __________ immunity.
Naturally acquired, active immunity.
Name the two of three functions of the lymphatic system.

These are lymphoid tissue located in the vicinity of the pharynx. They protect us against ingested or inhaled contaminants. Pathogens are trapped in their grooves and Lymphocytes attack them at the site.

Second line of defense includes a process in which White Blood Cells take in and destroy waste, cancer cells, and pathogens.(eat microorganism) This process is called______
phagocytosis

in the groin area

The lingual tonsils are located ____________
in the back of the tongue
A circulating protein that binds to a specific antigen to combat it.
antibody
_____________increases metabolism and
stimulates phagocytes. This decreases
many organisms' ability to multiply
fever
If I get the antibodies from multiple people via a gama globulin (IgG) shot, I will obtain ____________ acquired __________ immunity.
artificially acquired passive immunity
Lymphatic capillaries in the lining of the small intestines that absorb and transport fat in the lymphatic system?
lacteals
These nodes are found near the trachea and around the larger bronchial tubes. In people who smoke, are exposed to smoke, or live in highly polluted areas, these nodes will become filled with airborne contaminants.
