Identify the entire tissue or organ.

Lymph capillaries in intestinal villi involved in absorption of fat.

lacteal

thoracic duct

Large lymph vessel in the chest that receives lymph from below the diaphragm and from the left side of the body above the diaphragm; drains into the left subclavian vein

cisterna chyli

an enlarged pouch on the thoracic duct that serves as a storage area for lymph moving toward its point of entry into the venous system

red pulp of spleen

Identify A

lymphatic valve

Identify.

spleen

An organ that is part of the lymphatic system; it produces lymphocytes, filters the blood, stores blood cells, and destroys old blood cells.

lymph node

Bean-shaped filters that cluster along the lymphatic vessels of the body. They function as a cleanser of lymph as wells as a site of T and B cell activation

white pulp of spleen

Identify C

destroy worn out red blood cells, filter blood, stores platelets and white blood cells

What is the function of this organ?

antigen

A protein or carbohydrate that, when introduced in the blood, triggers the production of an antibody

antibody

A protein that acts against a specific antigen

antiserum

Human or animal serum that contains antibodies to a particular antigen because of previous exposure to the disease or to a vaccine containing antigens from that infectious agent.
