Document Summary
Chapter 20-21 review | the lymphatic system and the. Lymphatic capillaries, microscopic blind-ended capillaries weave between the tissue cells and blood capillaries in the loose connective tissues of our body. Lymphatic capillaries are widespread, but they are absent from bones (including bone marrow) and teeth: what types of microorganisms can be recognized by toll-like receptors, viruses, parasites c) bacteria, fungi, all of the above. Toll-like receptors recognize pathogen associated molecular patterns (pamps) of microorganisms including bacteria, viruses, parasites, and fungi: toll-like receptors 2 (tlr-2) is the specific receptor for, peptidoglycan, lps, flagellin, dsrna, ssrna. Tlr-2 on the surface of the immune cells binds to peptidoglycan, located on gram (+) bacteria, which stain blue: list two functions of the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system returns fluids and plasma proteins that leaked from blood vessels back to the cardiovascular system, putting it back into blood circulation.
