Fill in the Blank
_________ and the ________ work together in the body to maintain fluid balance, protect the body from infection and targeting and destroying abnormal cells.
Lymphatic System and Immune System
This can be a fatal reaction to an allergen that develops rapidly causes swelling, hives, throat swelling, shortness of breath, and often death, the immediate treatment is an injection of epinephrine.
Anaphylactic Shock
These two lymphocytes remain in bone marrow and develop with the help of stromal cells.
B Cells and Natural Killer Cells
These antibodies can be transferred through the placenta to the fetus to provide passive immunity.
IgG
A _______ helps kill bacteria by creating a high temperature hostile environment that inhibits bacteria growth.
Fever
The Thymus is a specialized organ located ibn the upper chest behind the sternum this acts as the primary site for _______ maturation and development.
T Cell
These types of disease develop in individuals when the immune system mistakenly attacks health cells, tissues or organs, causing chronic inflammation and diseases.
Auto Immune Disorders
These types of T Cells respond to antigens that have been previously encountered
Memory T Cells
After childbirth the mother can pass these antibodies to the fetus in breast milk to provide personalized immunity against pathogens
IgA
Cardinal signs and symptoms of ______ include the following, redness, swelling, heat and pain
Inflammation
These are the masses of the lymphoid tissues that serve as the body’s first line of defense against bacteria and viruses. They are located in the back of the throat.
Tonsils
A chronic condition characterized by swelling, usually in the arms or legs, due to a blockage in the lymphatic system that causes protein-rich fluid to accumulate in soft tissues.
Lymphedema
When stimulated, B Cells can differentiate into _______ which produce and secrete antibodies.
Plasma Cells
These antibodies are found in your skin and mucous membranes. They cause your mast cells to release histamine which is important in allergic reactions.
IgE
These keep hazardous organisms and materials outside of the body, examples include, hair, skin, sweat and mucus.
Physical Barriers
Lymph empties into two major collecting vessels _________ and _________.
Thoracic Duct and Right Lymphatic Duct
If this were to occur, other organs including the liver would take over its functions of filtering blood and fighting infections.
Splenectomy
These cells are rapid response lymphocytes that destroy virus infected or cancerous cells without requiring prior activation.
Natural Killer Cells
Maternal antibodies that cross the placenta are example of what type of immunity.
Natural Passive Immunity
These are specialized cells that’s main function is to engulf, ingest and digest pathogens including bacteria, foreign debris and viruses.
Phagocytes
__________ carries unfiltered lymph from peripheral tissues towards the lymph node.
Afferent Lymphatics
An autoimmune disorder that impacts synovial joints causing swelling and painful inflammation especially in the carpals and tarsals
Rheumatoid Arthritis
This is a vital growth factor produced by stromal cells that drives the development and survival of lymphocytes.
Interleukin-7
Johnny got sick with the chicken pox virus when he was 6 years old, what type of immunity does he have?
Natural Active Immunity
This is a crucial part of the immune system that consists of over 30 special proteins that aid in the ability of antibodies and phagocytic cells through a rapid cascading enzymatic process.
Complement System
