What type of immune response would occur if bacteria invaded your lymph?

Since the bacteria has already invaded your body, the second stage of defense is required. The lymphocytes will engulf the bacteria and digest it using lysosomes. When the bacteria is gone, fragments of the bacteria are left behind by the lymphocyte to allow some T-cells to identify the bacteria's antigen.

Do lymph contain bacteria?
yes
Within which structures in humans are bacteria and dead cells removed from lymph?
Lymph Nodes
How many lymphatic ducts are there?
The lymphatic system consists of:Lymph - This is a clear, watery fluid which carries away particles such as bacteria and cell debris from the bloodstream so that they can then be destroyed by lymph nodes.Lymph Vessels - These are lymph capillaries and larger lymph vessels, both of which transport the lymph. The lymph vessels become larger as they join together and end up forming two large ducts called the thoracic duct and the right lyphatic duct which empty lymph into the subclavian veins.Lymph organs and tissues - These include lymph nodes which lymph drains through before returning to the venous circulation and their function is to filter the lymph of things like microbes and damaged tissue cells. The main organ of the lymphatic system is the spleen. The spleen has many functions including destroying old and abnormal red blood cells, storing blood and it helps in immune response to infection.
A primary function of lymphcytes is?
I think you mean lymphocytes. The B and T cells are lymphocytes that are responsible for destroying unwanted viruses and bacteria in your body. They are cells of the immune system. These cells are found in the lymph nodes.
Bacteria and dead cell are removed from circulatory fluid in the?
Lymphatic system, especially in the nodes (lymph glands)
Which lymphoid organ serves in immune surveillance and in filtering lymph?
Spleen •Site of lymphocyte proliferation and immune surveillance and response •Cleanses the blood of aged cells and platelets and debris
What is lymph nodes?
lymph node cancer is cancer in your lymph nodes they are all over your body..around you neck stomach legs arms you have lymph nodes all over
What are the 2 roles of the immune system?
to fight against infection like disease and bacteria e.g lymph node
What causes thickening of a lymph nodes cortex?
Thickening of a lymph nodes cortex is likely caused from things like cancers, and inflammation. With this, comes problems with the immune system and response.
How will lymph nodes change in response to an infection?
They enlarge to trap bacteria and other microorganisms that cause disease.
When langerhans cells phagocytize pathogens where do they carry them to?
Regional lymph nodes where they present to T cells, activating the adaptive immune response.
What prevents some bacterial diseases?
You're innate and adaptive immune system. Basically - your innate system senses the presence of invader bacterial intruders and dendritic cells engulf them and then present them to B and T cells in your lymph nodes triggering a specific adaptive immune response. -B cells produce secreted antigens called antibodies that can bind to the toxins that the pathogenic bacteria produce and thus prevent disease and kill the bacteria. -There are bacteria and virus' that can evade this response. Some hide within our own cells ... a good example of this is HIV (virus).
What Dø lymph nodes Dø and what is there function?
Lymph nodes are composed of masses of lymphocytes and other cells which serve the function in humans of fighting off foreign bodies including bacteria and viruses. Lymph nodes are a central part of the human immune system. Lymphatic ducts carry lymph fluid into and out of lymph nodes. This is one of the ways that immune cells travel to all parts of the body. Cancers of the lymph nodes are called lymphomas of which the most well known is Hodgkins Disease.
Are lymph nodes in the immune system?
Yes, they are a part of the immune system.
Is it important that lymphatic tissue is spread throughout the body?
The lymphatic system has four interrelated functions: it is responsible for the removal of interstitial fluid from tissues; it absorbs and transports fatty acids and fats as chyle to the circulatory system; and to Nicklas cells and it transports immune cells to and from the lymph nodes in to the sheppardian part of the bone. The lymph transports antigen-presenting cells (APCs), such as dendritic cells, to the lymph nodes where an immune response is stimulated. The lymph also carries lymphocytes from the efferent lymphatics exiting the lymph nodes. Short answer: it's the circulation for the immune system.
Can a large infected cut on the face cause swollen glands on the neck?
What you call glands are probably lymph nodes. Yes, they will swell. They are part of the immune response.
What is the main role of lymph nodes in the bodys defence?
The lymph nodes store and make B cells which fight antigens (foreign substances in the body). To elaborate on and attempt to complete the answer, the lymph nodes are where the adaptive immune response begins and is maintained (contrasted with the innate immune response). Dendritic cells circulate throughout the body and pick up antigens (foreign substances in the body, e.g., those of microorganisms such as bacterial cell wall proteoglycans) associated with infected tissue and upon returning to the lymph nodes present them to T and B lymphocytes that pass through or may even reside at the node. The lymphocytes that now recognize the particular antigen proliferate and return to the main circulation and attack the associated microorganism. The adaptive immune response, as by proliferation of antigen specific lymphocytes, is also maintained at the lymph nodes after the infection is gone in case reinfection by the same microorganism occurs.
