This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Answers_lymphoid system, mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) examples BALT (bronchial-associated lymphoid tissue), mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) examples GALT (gut-associated lymphoid tissue), spleen function in adaptive immunity Antigens in the blood encounter macrophages, dendritic cells, and ever-changing populations of B-lymphocytes and T-lymphocytes., lymph nodes function in adaptive immunity Microbes and other antigens in the lymph encounter changing populations of B-lymphocytes, are filtered out and phagocytosed by the fixed macrophages and dendritic cells, and are presented to changing populations of T-lymphocytes., Responsible for flow of lymph within the lymphoid system; a part of the body's fluid recirculation system. recirculations of fluids of the circulatory system Plasma leaks out of the blood vessels to become tissue fluid; some tissue fluid re-enters lymph vessels to become lymph; lymph re-enters the heart to become plasma., lymphatic vessels function Responsible for flow of lymph within the lymphoid system; a part of the body's fluid recirculation system., The Lymphoid System parts of the lymphoid system lymphatic vessels, secondary lymphoid organs examples lymph nodes, mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) consists of Loose clusters of T-lymphocytes, B-lymphocytes, plasma cells, activated TH cells, and macrophages., The Lymphoid System parts of the lymphoid system secondary lymphoid organs, mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) examples CALT (conjunctiva-associated lymphoid tissue), GALT (gut-associated lymphoid tissue) examples Peyer's patches, tonsils, adenoids, appendix, mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) examples SALT (skin-associated lymphoid tissue), Plasma leaks out of the blood vessels to become tissue fluid; some tissue fluid re-enters lymph vessels to become lymph; lymph re-enters the heart to become plasma. lymph Lymph flows through regional lymph nodes; delivers antigens to B- and T-lymphocytes., The Lymphoid System function in adaptive immunity The lymphoid system enables lymphocytes to encounter antigens in order to initiate adaptive immune responses., the bone marrow and the thymus functions Both B-lymphocytes and T-lymphocytes are produced from stem cells in the bone marrow., Plasma leaks out of the blood vessels to become tissue fluid; some tissue fluid re-enters lymph vessels to become lymph; lymph re-enters the heart to become plasma. plasma Delivers oxygen and nutrients to cells of the surrounding tissue., secondary lymphoid organs examples spleen, secondary lymphoid organs examples mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT), the bone marrow and the thymus functions B-lymphocytes mature in the bone marrow.
