CHAPTER 17 The Lymphatic and Immune System,

and Resistance to Disease

True-False

Write T if the statement is true and F if the statement is false.

1. When fluid bathes the cells, it is called interstitial fluid, when it flows
through lymphatic vessels it is called lymph.

2. The thymus gland is located in the thoracic cavity.

3. Edema is an accumulation of blood in tissue spaces.

4. Immunity is the production of specific antibodies against a specific


pathogen or toxin.

5. Body cells infected with bacteria produce proteins called interferons.

6. Phagocytosis is the ingestion of microbes or any foreign particles or cell


debris by phagocytes.

7. Macrophages that remain in certain tissues and organs of the body are
called fixed macrophages.

8. Only severe inflammations produce pus.

9. Only microbes are considered antigens in the human body.

10. Before T cells can attack antigens, the T cells must recognize the
antigen.

11. Cytotoxic T cells destroy target cells on contact.

12. Delayed hypersensitivity cells are activated in response to allergic


reactions.

13. Memory T cells produce antibodies.

14. It has been shown that mosquitoes can transmit the HIV virus.

15. Lymph is similar to interstitial fluid in composition because lymph is


tissue fluid that has moved into lymph capillaries.

16. The main difference between antibody mediated immunity and cell
mediated immunity is that the first one attacks the pathogens directly (B-
cells) and the latter produces chemicals to attack them (T-cells).

17. Fat soluble nutrients are transported in the lymphatic system.

18. There are five larger clusters of lymphatic nodules called the tonsils.
They include the pharyngeal tonsil, the paired palatine and lingual tonsils.

19. The complement system is a series of proteins that help other defense
systems fight pathogens by harming their plasma cell membrane.

20. Histocompatibility deals with the similarity in MHC (self) antigens


between the organ donor and the organ recipient.
