Bios255 discussion - Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

Our knowledge and understanding of the various forms of lymphocytes continue to expand. Our initial discussion this week will be on the various forms of B and T cells -- each of us should take one class of lymphocytes and explain it's role in the adaptive immune process. As you comment on other students' postings be sure to add additional insight into the mechanisms of the subclass of cell and its interactions with both components of the innate and other aspects of the adaptive immune system.

How do the various components of the lymphatic system operate? We have talked about many organ systems. In what ways are components of the lymphatic system involved in many other organ systems? Try to focus on one element of this system and provide an in-depth view of its contribution to our overall health.

A. Let's start by discussing the structure of our blood vessels. Let's each take a characteristic of (1) arteries, (2) veins, or (3) capillaries. Build upon what your classmates say to enable us to have a fuller understanding of these vessels that are essential for our existence.

Identify the chambers of the heart and their functions, the associated valves, and the names and general route of their associated great vessels.

Describe the composition, physical characteristics, and functions of whole blood. Explain why it is classified as a connective tissue.
