Lymphatic System 26 Jeopardy Template

Lymphatic Pathways and Vessels	Lymphatic Tissues & Organs	Body Defenses Against Infection	General Information	LOM
100 What are lymphatic pathways Lymphatic pathways start as lymphatic capillaries, that merge to form larger vessels, that empty into veins in the thoracic cavity	100 What are two lymphatic tissues lymphocytes and macrophages	100 What is a pathogen A disease-causing agent	100 What is inflammation Inflammation is a tissue response to injury or infection	100 What are the functions of the lymphatic system Transports proteins and fluid that have leaked, back to the bloodstream Lymphatic vessels absorb lipids from intestines and transport them to the bloodstream Lymphocytes and monocytes protect the body by mounting a cellular attack on foreign cells and organisms.
200 What are lymphatic trunks Larger lymphatic vessels that pass through organs called lymph nodes, and then merge	200 What are three encapsulated lymphatic organs lymph nodes, thymus, and spleen	200 What are some examples of pathogens Bacteria, viruses, fungi, or protozoans	200 What is the body’s largest lymphatic organ Spleen	200 What do B lymphocytes do produce antibodies; mature in the bone marrow
300 What is a lymph tissue fluid that has entered a lymphatic capillary; lymph formation depends on tissue fluid formation	300 What are lymph nodes They contain both lymphocytes and macrophages, and filter the lymph as it flows through them, removing many pathogens	300 What is the body's 2 mechanisms of defense against pathogens Innate (nonspecific) and Adaptive (specific) defenses	300 What is the size of the thymus It shrinks in size during the lifetime; large in children, small in adults, replaced by adipose & connective tissue in the elderly	300 What do T lymphocytes do attack bacteria and foreign cells; originate in the thymus gland
400 What is the function of the lymphatic trunk drain lymph from the lymphatic vessels	400 What is the job of the thymus The thymus secretes hormones called thymosins, which influence the maturation of T lymphocytes	400 What are mechanical barriers Prevent the entry of certain pathogens by providing a physical separation of pathogens and internal tissues	400 What is phagocytosis Phagocytosis is the engulfment and digestion of pathogens, foreign particles, and debris	400 What is immunity The body’s ability to resist foreign organisms and toxins that damage tissues and organs; can be natural or adaptive
500 What is responsibility of the lymph Lymph also transports foreign particles, including bacteria and viruses, to the lymph nodes for recognition and destruction	500 What is the job of the spleen The spleen filters the blood and removes damaged blood cells and bacteria	500 What are chemical barriers Chemical barriers are chemicals that kill many pathogens	500 What is the difference between neutrophils and monocyte Neutrophils engulf smaller particles; monocytes attack larger ones	500 What is the difference between natural immunity and adaptive immunity Natural immunity is resistance present at birth; not dependent on prior exposure to an antigen while Adaptive immunity is the body’s ability to recognize and remember specific antigens in an immune response
