Where are T and B cells found?
In the blood and mainly in secondary lymphoid tissues such as the spleen and lymph nodes.
Can white blood cells ingest pathogens?
There are two types of white blood cells: lymphocytes and phagocytes. The latter of the two will ingest pathogens through a process called phagocytizing.
Why can't you give type B blood to type A?
The short answer is that the Type B patient has antigens for that specific blood type, so when type A is mixed with the type B, the antibodies in the B blood kill the A blood cells, making it useless.
What stimulates blood to release oxygen to tissues?
Blood releases its oxygen into the tissues at the capillary level.
What similarities found in the lymph node spleen and tonsils?
Structurally: o They all have a capsule o They are rounded organs with an internal parenchyma of lymphoid cells o They are placed strategically about the body in order to maximally filter air/blood/lymph - see functional similarities Functionally: o All of these organs are involved in the immune system o Their role is to filter air/blood/lymph and expose the white blood cells within them to foreign material and thus activate the body's immune system
What leaves the blood and enters tissues to fight off pathogens and invaders?
White Blood Cells
Type of phagocyte that engulfs damages cells or pathogens that have entered the body's tissues?
White blood cells are those phagocytes that engulfs the damaged cells or pathogens entering the body's tissues.
Where are T and B cells found?
In the blood and mainly in secondary lymphoid tissues such as the spleen and lymph nodes.
Do red blood cells prevent pathogens from entering the human body?
No, red blood cells simply transport oxygen to tissues. The role of providing immunity to the body is played by white blood cells.
What is secondary lymphoid tissue?
Secondary lymphoid organs and tissues are the sites where lymphocytes are most active. The white pulp of the spleen is the common site for plasma cells to develop. Macrophages are also active in the spleen red pulp; where they engulf blood-borne antigens to be presented to T lymphocytes in the circulation.
What are all parts of the lymphatic system?
The lymphatic system can be broadly divided into the conducting system and the lymphoid tissue. The conducting system carries the lymph and consists of tubular vessels that include the lymph capillaries, the lymph vessels, and the right and left thoracic ducts. The lymphoid tissue is primarily involved in immune responses and consists of lymphocytes and other white blood cells enmeshed in connective tissue through which the lymph passes. Regions of the lymphoid tissue that are densely packed with lymphocytes are known as lymphoid follicles. Lymphoid tissue can either be structurally well organized as lymph nodes or may consist of loosely organized lymphoid follicles known as the Mucosa-Associated Lymohoid Tissue (MALT) The central or primary lymphoid organs generate lymphocytes from immature progenitor cells. The Thymus and the Bone Marrow constitute the primary lymphoid tissues involved in the production and early selection of lymphocytes. Secondary or peripheral lymphoid organs maintain mature naive lymphocytes and initiate an adaptive immune response. The peripheral lymphoid organs are the sites of lymphocyte activation by antigen. Activation leads to clonal expansion and affinity maturation. Mature lymphocytes recirculate between the blood and the peripheral lymphoid organs until they encounter their specific antigen. Secondary lymphoid tissue provides the environment for the foreign or altered native molecules (Antigens) to interact with the lymphocytes. It is exemplified by the lymph nodes , and the lymphoid follicles in Tonsils, Peyer's Patches, Spleen, adenoids, Skin, etc. that are associated with the (MALT).
What lymphoid organs acts the garbage disposal for the blood?
spleen
What lymphoid organ has sinuses filled with blood instead of lymph?
spleen
What is a small bean shaped oragan that removes pathogens and dead cells from the lymph?
Kindeys filter the blood and remove pathogens and dead cells through urine. The immune system is a system of lymph nodes, for example the tonsals.
Does the thymus produce red blood cells?
No. Your thymus is lymphoid organ. It does not produce the red blood cells.
Is blood and fat body tissues?
Is blood and body tissues what?
What is lymphocyte?
The lymphocyte is the main cell of the lymphoid tissue.Lymphocytes are a type of white blood cell which produce antibodies to kill any pathogens which invade the body.They are small white blood cells which have large nuclei, but no granules.They produce antibodies that fight disease and harmful microbes in the body or mark the disease for the phagocytes to engulf.
