In the small intestine there are specialized lymphatic capillaries called what? These allow in dietary lipids.
Is the term given to the interstitial fluid that has passed from body tissues into lymphatic vessels
Are iron-binding proteins which inhibit the growth of certain bacteria by reducing the amount of available iron
Is the 4th phase of phagocytosis. The phagosome enters the cytoplasm and merges with lysosomes to form a phagolysosome. The lysosome contributes a lysozyme to break down the cell walls and other digestive enzymes.
This is the outer layer of the thymus. it contains a large number of T cells and other cells mature here.
Is the 1st phase of phagocytosis. It's a chemically stimulated movement of phagocytes to an area of damage.
These pull and open the valves into lymph capillaries when there is an excess of interstitial fluid and the tissue swells
The entire process of margination and diapedesis is called what?
They contribute to vasodilation and adherence. Produced by basophils and mast cells by breakdown of membrane phospholipids. They increase permeability and act as chemotactic agents for phagocytes.
This duct drains lymph from the upper right side of the body and drains it into the right subclavian vein
These types of membranes secrete and coat cavity surfaces to trap microbes. example: nose and lungs
The collection of dead cells and fluid is called?
After inflammation begins and large amounts of blood accumulate, neutrophils begin to stick to the endothelium of the blood vessels in a process called what?

Are lipids which are released from damaged cells and will intensify the effects of histamine and kinins.
When lymph is carrying high concentrations of of lipids and is white in color it is called?
Is dense connective tissue that extends into the node. They separate the nodes into compartments, provide support and create a route for blood vessels into the interior of the node
This group of lymphatic organs include lymph nodes, spleen and lymphatic nodules. its the site for immune responses
This is the inner layer of the thymus. mature T cells and other cells reside here.
There are approximately 600 _____ in the body
