Deck 15: The Lymphatic and Immune Systems

Cancer cells can become trapped in lymph nodes,which may necessitate surgical removal of the involved lymph nodes.​

An important function of the spleen is to destroy and remove worn out red blood cells.
​

Hodgkin's disease is also known as the "kissing disease."​

It is possible for a person who is experiencing no symptoms of AIDS to carry and transmit HIV to others.​

It is not uncommon for a person who contracts HIV to live without serious symptoms for as long as 10 years.​

Infants must be protected against all types of infection,because they are born without any type of immunity.​

If a person has been fully immunized as a child,there is no need for vaccines during adulthood.​

Lymph vessels are located in almost all the tissues and organs that have blood vessels.​

Health care professionals who carefully follow prescribed precautions are at very low risk of contracting HIV from patients.​

An immunoglobulin is a protein that functions specifically as an antibody.​

The function of the thymus is to produce lymph fluid.​

A severe and sometimes fatal allergic reaction is called ____________________.​

____________________ and ___________________ act as an intermediaries between the blood in the capillaries and the body's tissues.​

Drugs are used to control the HIV virus by blocking ______________________________.​

The _________________________ can be considered a supplement to the circulatory system.​

Presence of the HIV virus is primarily detected by testing a person's blood for ____________________________________ to the virus.​

The body's ability to resist infections from pathogens is called ____________________.​

When a person is infected with a virus,but does not develop symptoms of that virus,the person is said to be ____________________.​

___________________________________ progressively destroys the body's T4lymphocytes,the immune system's key infection fighters.​

There are three pairs of tonsils named ____________________,____________________,and ____________________.​

_________________________ are tiny,oval-shaped structures ranging in size from a pinhead to an almond.​

The ____________________ stores large amounts of red blood cells that it will release during excessive bleeding or vigorous exercise.​

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC)recommends the use of ______________________________ when engaging in sex to reduce the chance of transmitting HIV.​
