Side A ------ Side B
thinly walledfluid and cells of the lymphatic system move through the lymph nodes and ultimately into the thoracic duct, where it joins the blood stream ------ Lymphatic vessels
interstitial fluid derived from blood plasmahas a variety of big and small molecules, lymphocytes, and some other cellscirculates through the lymphatic vessels ------ Lymph
Organs and Tissues where mature, immunocompetent lymphocytes find trapped antigens and are activated into EFFECTOR CELLS.Ex: spleen and MUCOSAL ASSOCIATED TISSUE ------ SECONDARY Organs of the Immune System
Tissues that:have a few lymphoid cellslack the elaborate organization of secondary lymphoid tissueimport lymphoid cells during an inflammatory responseEx: CUTANEOUS ASSOCIATED LYMPHOID TISSUE (CALT) ------ TERTIARY Organs of the Immune System
Organs where lymphocyte precursors  MATURE  into anti-genetically committed, immunocompetent lymphocytes.Ex: bone marrow (esp. in long bones) [B cell maturation] and thymus [T cell maturation] ------ PRIMARY Organs of the Immune System
