- 9. Specialized lymphatic vessels of the small intestine
- 11. Clear center of an active lymphoid nodule
- 13. Macrophages lining splenic sinusoids
- 15. Valve-like structures formed by overlapping endothelial cells
- 16. Lymphoid nodules with active B-cell proliferation
- 18. Vessel surrounded by white pulp in the spleen
- 21. Fluid that circulates within lymphatic vessels
- 22. Part of the spleen rich in lymphocytes
- 24. Diffuse lymphoid tissue found in mucosa
- 28. Sinuses within the medulla of lymph nodes
- 30. Type of lymphocyte responsible for humoral immunity
Down
- 1. Function of lymph nodes related to immune defense
- 2. Thin connective tissue capsule surrounding lymph nodes
- 3. Antigen-presenting cells found in lymphoid tissue
- 4. Bundles of collagen extending from the capsule into the node
- 6. Specialized endothelial cells of lymphatic capillaries
- 7. Structures that ensure one-way direction of lymph flow
- 8. Lymphoid nodules without germinal centers
- 10. Lymphoid tissue found in the small intestine
- 12. Primary lymphoid organ where T lymphocytes mature
- 14. Part of the spleen rich in erythrocytes
- 17. Reticular connective tissue supporting lymphoid organs
- 19. Red pulp component involved in filtering aged RBCs
- 20. Large lymphatic vessel that drains most of the body
- 23. SINUS Space beneath the capsule of a lymph node where lymph first enters
- 25. Type of lymphocyte responsible for cell-mediated immunity
