What are the functions of the lymphatic and immune system correct answers 1. Production, maintenance and distribution of lymphocytes (defense). 2. Maintenance of normal blood volume by returning interstitial fluid to the blood. 3. Elimination of local variations in the chemical composition of interstitial fluid. What are the two structures in the lymphatic and immune system? correct answers 1. primary lymphoid structures 2. secondary lymphoid structures Primary lymphoid structures. - examples? correct answers where stem cells generate daughter cells that become B-, T- or NK-cells. Examples: bone marrow and thymus. Secondary lymphoid structures. - examples? correct answers where immature (but competent) or activated lymphocytes divide to produce additional lymphocytes of the same type (e.g., lymph nodes where B-cell divide to make more B-cells). What are the main components of the lymphatic and immune system? correct answers 1. lymph 2. lymphatic vessels 3. lymphoid tissues 4. lymphoid organs Lymph correct answers formed elements (lymphocytes, monocytes, and dendritic cells) suspended in a tissue fluid similar to blood plasma but having a lower concentration of proteins, ions, and nutrients. Lymphatic vessels correct answers capillaries, collecting vessels, trunks and ducts. Lymphoid tissues correct answers (e.g.,appendix) Lymphoid organs correct answers (lymphnodes,spleen,thymus,etc.) lymphatic circulation correct answers one-way system (i.e., toward the heart via veins). Overview of lymphatic circulation correct answers A. Fluid is loss from the artery/venous circulation at the capillary level into the tissue. B. Fluid is taken-up by lymphatic capillaries. C.
