Structure and Function of Lymph Node and Spleen

B cells mature into plasma cells in the [blank_start]Bone marrow[blank_end] T cells mature in the [blank_start]Thymus[blank_end]

Which two of the following are said to be the two components of the Central (Primary) Lymphoid Tissues?

Which two of the following are Peripheral (secondary) Lymphoid Tissues?

Which common consequence of axillary lymph node surgery (usually for breast cancer mets) causes a swollen arm? [blank_start]Lymphoedema[blank_end]

[blank_start]Chylous[blank_end] ascites refers to the accumulation of lymph in the peritoneal cavity due to disruption of the lymphatic system secondary to traumatic injury or obstruction

Natural Killer Cells, despite being derived from [blank_start]lymphoid[blank_end] progenitor cells, are part of the [blank_start]innate[blank_end] immune system

B plasma cells are found mainly in the [blank_start]medulla[blank_end] of lymph nodes

CD20 is a marker for [blank_start]B cells[blank_end] CD3 is a marker for [blank_start]T cells[blank_end]

Which condition is being described here? A granulomatous condition causing bilateral hilar lymphadenopathy and raised Angiotensin Converting Enzyme and Calcium levels in the blood. [blank_start]Sarcoidosis[blank_end]

The picture demonstrates a typical presentation of which lymph related condition? [blank_start]Lymphangitis[blank_end]

The spleen is usually palpable on abdominal examination.

The spleen is supplied by the [blank_start]splenic[blank_end] artery and drained by the [blank_start]splenic[blank_end] vein

The Spleen consists mainly of red pulp and white pulp: The [blank_start]red pulp[blank_end] is made up of several different types of blood cells, including platelets, granulocytes, red blood cells, and plasma The [blank_start]white pulp[blank_end] mainly contains lymphocytes such as T cells

The [blank_start]red pulp[blank_end] is the predominant tissue present in the spleen

Worn-out or abnormal red cells attempting to squeeze through the narrow intercellular spaces become badly damaged, and are subsequently devoured by [blank_start]macrophages[blank_end], which are the main immune cell type in the red pulp.

The white pulp of the spleen consists of mainly [blank_start]T[blank_end] lymphocytes

Dragging Sensation in LUQ = [blank_start]Splenomegaly[blank_end]

Splenic enlargement (splenomegaly) causes discomfort which is [blank_start]brought on by eating[blank_end]

Splenic Dysfunction/Hyposplenism brings about the presence of [blank_start]Howell[blank_end]-[blank_start]Jolly[blank_end] Bodies on the blood film
