Chapter 16-Lymphatic System & Immunity 1. Explain the functions of the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system functions to balance fluid‚ lipid absorption (via lacteals=lymph capillaries) and defense. It removes toxins/pathogens‚ fight infections and transports excess fluid in the interstitial spaces and returns it to the blood stream. Lacteals absorb digested fats from small intestines and transports it to venous circulation. 2. Trace the general pathway of lymph from the interstitial

Eosinophilic Granuloma (unifocul eosinophilic granuloma) The term “eosinophilic granuloma of bone” was introduced by Lichtenstein and Jaffe in 1940‚ although the lesion to which it referred had been described by others before them. The term used to describe a lesion of bone which is primarily a histiocytic proliferation‚ with an abindance of eosinophilic leukocytes but no intercellular lipid accumulation. This disease occurs primarily in older children and young adults‚ and the proportion of male

1. Anatomy- study of the structure and shape of the body and its parts. Physiology- study of how the body and its parts work or function. The relationship between anatomy and physiology is that anatomy has to do with the structures and names of the body‚ while physiology has to do with the function and how the structure works. An example of their correspondence is the cardiovascular system‚ consisting of the heart and blood vessels (anatomy) and how the heart pumps oxygen‚ nutrients‚ and wastes

Defense * Microorganism and other foreign substance are filtered from lymph by lymph nodes and from blood by the spleen. Anatomy of the lymphatic system A. Lymphatic capillaries and vessels * Lymphatic vessels carry lymph away from the tissues. Valves in the vessel ensure the one-way flow of lymph. * Skeletal muscle contraction‚ contraction of lymphatic

Monophasic Salmonella Typhimurium - Efficacy of vaccine administration Since mid- 1990´s a number of reports have been published on the isolation of different Salmonella strains‚ similar to S. Typhimurium but a difference in the flagella antigen‚ in several European countries as well as in the U.S.A (EFSA Journal 2010‚ Andrea et al. 2008). As known‚ serotyping of Salmonellas is based on antigenic variability of LPS (O Antigen)‚ flagella (H antigen) and capsule (VI antigen). Most Salmonella strains

The Immune System - Overview We are surrounded by billions of bacteria and viruses. To many of them‚ a human being is like a walking smorgasbord‚ offering nearly limitless resources that they can use for energy and reproduction. Luckily for us‚ getting into the human body is not an easy task! From the point of view of these tiny organisms‚ a human is a bit like a fortress. The skin is thick and very hard to penetrate. In addition‚ the skin also produces a variety of substances that are harmful

Results Mortality rates‚ clinical signs and postmortem findings Mortalities in all groups were recorded throughout the experiment and summarized in Table 1. No mortalities were recorded in the control group throughout the experimental period. Table 1 show that the highest mortality rate occurred in Nile tilapia fish in the S. iniae+ C. albicans infected group (76.19%)‚ followed by those infected with S. iniae alone (61.9%) and then the C. albicans infected group (57.14%).
