Lymph capillaries called lacteals are located in the
spleen
liver
thymus
small intestine
Lymph circulation is maintained by all except
the heart
inspiration
skeletal muscle contractions
valves
The lymph nodes that filter and clean breast lymph
inguinal lymph nodes
axillary lymph nodes
superficial cervical lymph nodes
Which of the following is not classified as a lymphatic organ?
tonsils
lymph nodes
Adenitis is
an infected adenoid
an infected lymph node
tissue swelling
None of the above
Bacteria and debri are phagocytized from lymph by reticuloendothelial cells reticular fibers T cells B cells( reticuloendothelial cells, reticular fibers, T cells, B cells ) in the lymph nodes:
Fluid from blood leaks into
lymph
capillary
interstitial fluid
none of the above
The percentage of the total proteins that leak out of the capillaries into the tissue fluid on a daily basis is %.
The cisterna chyli
originates the right lymphatic duct
originates the thoracic duct
is the storage area for hormones made by the thymus gland
filters the chyle coming from the small intestine
During some infections, lymph nodes and spleen may swell because of:
proliferation of lymphocytes
proliferation of erethrocytes
macrophages
Adenoids are enlarged:
pharyngeal tonsils
palatine tonsils
lingual tonsils
Lymph vessels are more similar in structure to
veins
capallaries
arteries
venules
The size of the thymus is the largest at
birth
2 years of age
puberty
approximately 25 years of age
which of the following is a lymphokinetic factor
arterial pulsations
postural changes
passive compression of the body soft tissues
all of the above
Which of the following is not a lymph organ
Thymus
Spleen
Pancreas
Tonsils
Large numbers of B cells may be found here
germinal centers of lymph node
sinus of lymph node
Lymph enters a node via lymph vessels.
Reticuloendothelial cells of lymph nodes are .
The pulp of the spleen and its venous sinuses allow it to store up to ml of blood
Small lymphatic organs associated with lymph vessels are called .
The size of lymph nodes varies from mm to more than mm in diameter.
Lymph leaves a lymph node via lymph vessels.
If lymphatic return is blocked the following will not occur
Blood protein concentration will fall
Blood osmotic pressure will fall
Fluid imbalance will occur
CO2 levels in the blood will rise
