- Select the correct answer for each question. Explain why each choice (a-d) is correct or incorrect. When lymphatic structures of a limb are blocked due to tumors, the result is a. Shrinkage of tissues distal in the limb to the blockage due to inadequate delivery of lymph b. Severe localized edema distal to the blockage of that limb c. Increased pressure in the lymphatics proximal in the limb to the blockage d. Abnormally high lymph drainage from the distal regionarrow_forward_____________________are specialized lymphocytes that secrete perforins to lyse cell membranes of virus-infected cells.arrow_forwardSelect the correct answer for each question. Explain why each choice (a-d) is correct or incorrect Select the correct statement about lymphoid tissue. a. Once a lymphocyte enters the lymphoid tissue, it resides there permanently. b. Lymphoid macrophages secrete antibodies into the blood. c. Lymphoid tissue is predominantly reticular connective tissue. d. T lymphocytes act by ingesting foreign substances.arrow_forward
- Fill in the blank: Lymph enters a node through a(an) _______________________ lymphatic vessel.arrow_forward_______________ are cells that are phagocytic and remove debris and are the immune system of the brain and nervous system.arrow_forward__________________________________ ____________________________ is the term for phenomena that include a microbe hiding inside an immune cell (!) while making copies of itself, or microbes becoming antibiotic resistant. 2 cell types that secrete perforins are ____________________ & _____________________________ CD4 and CD8 (immature T) cells migrate to the _______________________________ for selection and maturation. If an immature T cell reacts to ____________ ______________________, or it doesn’t recognize the ________________ protein on an APC, the immature T cell is told to die. Otherwise, they become functionally “ ________________________________________________ but ___________________________” until activated. During activation, there is a secondary exchange of signals between the presenting cell & activated T cells is called ________ -_______________________________. This prevents inappropriate activation of T cells. The important cytokine we discussed that is…arrow_forward
- Phagocytes transmit information to the lymphocytes B cells and helper T cells produce special protein called_____________ antibodies blood leukocytes long-term macrophagesarrow_forwardSelect the correct answer for each question. Explain why each choice (a-d) is correct or incorrect. Which of the following examples below describes an autoimmune disease? a. Infection and death of T helper cells by a virus, resulting in a loss of adaptive immunity b. Release of bacterial endotoxins that block acetylcholine release result in muscle paralysis. c. Antibody binding to acetylcholine receptors of the motor end plate resulting in muscle weakness. d. Uncontrolled cell division resulting in cell surface abnormalities recognized by NK cells.arrow_forwardSelect the correct answer for each question. Explain why each choice (a-d) is correct or incorrect. Which of the following correctly describes the pathway of lymph? a. Lymphatic ducts to lymphatic trunks to lymphatic vessels to lymphatic capillaries b. Lymphatic ducts to lymphatic capillaries to lymphatic vessels to lymphatic trunks c. Lymphatic capillaries to lymphatic vessels to lymphatic trunks to lymphatic ducts d. Lymphatic vessels to lymphatic trunks to lymphatic ducts to lymphatic capillariesarrow_forward
