, lymph - ANS -fluid located within lymphatic vessels and lymphatic tissue
-clear, pale yellow fluid
lymphatic vessels - ANS -transport lymph
-begin as lymphatic capillaries
-return lost plasma proteins and plasma to the blood stream
lymphatic system - ANS - composed of lymph, lymphatic vessels, structures and organs
containing lymphatic tissue, and red bone marrow
K
Lymphatic tissue - ANS -form of reticular connective tissue
-contains a large number of lymphocytes
C
lymphatic system - ANS -assists in circulating body fluids and helps defend the body against
disease causing agents
-drains excess interstitial fluid
LO
-transports dietary lipids from the gastrointestinal tract to the blood
innate immunity(nonspecific) - ANS -defenses that are present at birth
-antimicrobial substances, natural killer cells, phagocytes, inflammation, and fever.
YC
adaptive immunity(specific) - ANS - defenses that involve recognition of a microbe once it has
breached the defenses present at birth.
-specific response to a specific pathogen
-involves B and T lymphocytes
lymphatic capillaries - ANS -unite to form larger lymphatic vessels
D
-closed at one end
-have greater permeability than those in the blood
-absorb proteins and lipids
U
-larger in diameter than blood capillaries
-walls made up of the end of endothelial cells
ST
lacteals - ANS -specialized lymphatic capillaries that carry dietary lipids into lymphatic vessels
and ultimately into blood
chyle - ANS --name of lymph that is creamy white due to the presence of dietary lipids
anchoring filaments - ANS -attached to lymphatic capillaries
-contain elastic fibers
-attach lymphatic endothelial cells to surrounding tissues
-pulled when interstitial fluid accumulates, making the openings between cells larger so that
more fluid can flow into the lymphatic capillary
