T-cells and B-cells are both initially made in the bone marrow. T-cells mature in the thymus. They both freely float around in all lymph nodes and the various lymph organs (e.g., tonsils, spleen...).

Which kind of cells mostly found in lymph?

White blood cells, specifically lymphocytes, are the most commonly found cells in the lymph. These cells are an essential part of the immune system and play a vital role in recognizing and fighting infections in the body.


What is found in the spleen bone marrow and lymph nodes that fight microbes?

The spleen, bone marrow, and lymph nodes contain various immune cells that play crucial roles in fighting microbes. Key players include lymphocytes, such as B cells and T cells, which are responsible for adaptive immunity, as well as macrophages and dendritic cells that help initiate and coordinate immune responses. Additionally, antibodies produced by B cells can directly neutralize pathogens. Together, these components form an essential part of the body's defense system against infections.


Where do B cells and T cells migrate?

B cells and T cells migrate to secondary lymphoid organs such as lymph nodes and spleen to carry out their immune functions. Here, they encounter antigens, undergo activation, and differentiate into effector cells to mount an immune response.


What tissues and organs are composed of b cells?

B cells, a type of white blood cell, are primarily found in the lymphoid tissues, including the bone marrow, spleen, and lymph nodes. They mature in the bone marrow and then migrate to the spleen and lymph nodes, where they play a crucial role in the immune response by producing antibodies. Additionally, B cells can be found in peripheral blood and other lymphoid organs throughout the body.


What do B cells make in the lymphatic system?

Lymph is formed when the interstitial fluid between gaps in the body's tissues is collected through lymph capillaries and mixed with surrounding substances of the tissues. It is then transported through the lymph vessels and then to lymph nodes and is placed into the blood again via. the right or left subclavian vein, now replenished with immune backup.

What does the medullary cords of a lymph node contain?

The medullary cords of a lymph node contain: reticular cells, lymphocytes, macrophages and plasma cells. It is important to understand that lymphocytes include both B cells and T cells. Note also that plasma cells derive from B cells. If asked a correct answer could be B cells and also plasma cells depending on the level of the material.


What is the name of the inner region of a lymph node?

The Medulla is the inner region of a lymph node. It contains B cells, plasma cells, and macrophages.


Explain the immune response in a lymph nodes?

First the structure of a lymph node... we have the cortex, paracortex and the medulla. It is made mainly of recticular cells, then lymphocytes and macrophage. So you have APCs presenting the antigen which enter lymph node via HEV, basically post-capillary venous swelling made of simple cuboidal cells. These allows things in blood to enter the lymph node. Then after that you have the APC interacting with B cells in the cortex and the T helper cells in paracortex. Both B and T cells get stimulated. B cells can either stay in cortex to form secondary follicles / germinal center or migrate to medullary cord to become plasma cells and secrete antibodies. The function of germinal center is to increase antibody affinity, isotope change (change classes) and differentiation and proliferation.


Lymph nodes contain large numbers of white blood cells called?

lymphocytes, which help the body fight infections and diseases.


What is Difference between tissue fluid and lymph?

when lymph fluid is contained inside lymph vessels or lymph node(lymphatic system) it is called lymph whereas when it is squeezed out of cells b/w the cell membranes it is called tissue fluid


Internal portion of a lymph gland where cells are arranged in a cordlike fashion?

The medulla is the internal portion of a lymph node where cells are arranged in cordlike fashion. It contains B-lymphocytes, plasma cells, and macrophages, contributing to the immune response by filtering lymph and trapping foreign particles. It plays a crucial role in the immune system's function by helping to identify and eliminate pathogens.


What kind of cells in the lymph nodes produces antibodies?

B-cells


What is mostly likely to happen in a lymph node?

a. attachment of MHC markers to self cells b. production of B and T lymphocytes c. phagocytosis of organisms foreign to the body d. oxygenation of the interstitial fluid e. destruction of red blood cells and recycling of their contents

Can getting punched in the lymph node make it swollen?

Ok literally, just fought my brother, he elbows me 3 times in the jaw and my lymph node is swollen on my left side, hurts lika B as if some1 is stabbing me, was looking for the answer of "what happens when your lymph node gets swollen from being punched" and came across this. Well i have first hand experience with this one so im gonna havta say yes getting punched there swells your lymph node


What is the name of the structural units of lymph node that contain a germinal center?

Is the central ,light staining region within a lymphoid follicle in spleen ,lymph nodes,or mucosal lymphoid tissue that forms during T cell-dependent humoral immune response and is the site of B cell and antibodies affinity maturation and antibodies class swiching .


Which important protective cells are found within lymph nodes?

Lymph nodes contain several important protective cells, primarily lymphocytes, which include T cells and B cells. T cells play a crucial role in cell-mediated immunity, recognizing and destroying infected or cancerous cells, while B cells are responsible for antibody production to neutralize pathogens. Additionally, macrophages and dendritic cells present in lymph nodes help to engulf pathogens and activate lymphocytes, further enhancing the immune response. Together, these cells coordinate the body's defense against infections and diseases.
