Blood
Erythropoiesis
The highly regulated process of creating red blood cells in the red bone marrow
The 4 chambers of the heart
Right and left atrium
Right and left ventricle
Interstitial fluid once it has entered this system
Lymph
Barrier, innate and adaptive
Organization of the immune system
7.35 to 7.45
Erythrocytes, Leukocytes and Platelets
Formed elements in blood
Pulmonary and Systemic
Circulation of blood circuits
Lymphatic ducts
Right lymphatic duct
Thoracic duct
Function primarily by producing antibodies
B-cells
Swelling occurs in the site of a cut because this barrier defense has been compromised
Skin
Neutrophils, Eosinophils, Basophils
Bottom most portion of the heart, curved into the left thoracic cavity
Apex
Vessels interlaced among arterioles and venules of the circulatory system in soft tissue
Lymphatic capillaries
First response is severe because it takes time to respond, second response is faster due to immunological memory
Primary and Secondary Adaptive Response
A microorganism or virus that can cause disease
pathogen
Biconcave, has no organelles
Red Blood Cell
Membrane that surrounds the heart and defines the pericardial cavity
pericardium
Entry of fluid into lymphatic capillaries is enabled by the collagen filaments that anchor the capillaries to surrounding structures. What other structure and process permits the flow of fluid into the lymphatic capillaries?
Endothelial flaps
Pressure differentials
Celiac, rheumatoid arthritis and Grave's disease are examples of this
Autoimmune diseases
Name of the School Nurse

Lymphoid organs
Types of cells that eat pathogens
What does MALT stand for? What is it's function?
