clear watery fluid that surrounds body cells
and flows in a system of lymph vessels throughout
the body

Cervical

phagocytose foreign substances

neutrophils, monocytes, and
macrophages

multiple copies of
cells or genes that kill tumor cells; passive
immunotherapy

Transports proteins and fluid that have leaked, back
to the bloodstream

Axillary

produce antibodies;
mature in the bone marrow

lymph nodes, spleen,
thymus gland, tonsils, and adenoids; produce
lymphocytes and antibodies

contain antigens from the patient’s tumor
cells; stimulate the patient’s own T cells to recognize
and kill the cancerous cells; active immunotherapy

The Lymphatic system includes these types of cells

Mediastinal

attack bacteria and
foreign cells; originate in the thymus gland

the body’s ability to resist foreign
organisms and toxins that damage tissues and
organs; can be natural or adaptive

n bone marrow
transplantation, T lymphocytes from a donor can
replace a patient's immune system with new cells
that recognize tumor cells as foreign and kill them.

Protein produced by B cells to destroy antigens

Mesenteric

Filters microorganisms and
other foreign material out of
the blood

resistance present at birth;
not dependent on prior exposure to an
antigen

Ability to recognize and remember specific
antigens and mount an attack on them

Mass of lymphatic tissue in the nasopharynx

Paraaortic

Provides immunity in
fetal life and in early
years of growth

body’s ability to recognize and
remember specific antigens in an immune response

Mass of lymphatic tissue in the nasopharynx
