- Select the correct answer for each question. Explain why each choice (a-d) is correct or incorrect Select the correct statement about lymphoid tissue. a. Once a lymphocyte enters the lymphoid tissue, it resides there permanently. b. Lymphoid macrophages secrete antibodies into the blood. c. Lymphoid tissue is predominantly reticular connective tissue. d. T lymphocytes act by ingesting foreign substances.arrow_forwardFill in the blank: Lymph enters a node through a(an) _______________________ lymphatic vessel.arrow_forward__________________________________ ____________________________ is the term for phenomena that include a microbe hiding inside an immune cell (!) while making copies of itself, or microbes becoming antibiotic resistant. 2 cell types that secrete perforins are ____________________ & _____________________________ CD4 and CD8 (immature T) cells migrate to the _______________________________ for selection and maturation. If an immature T cell reacts to ____________ ______________________, or it doesn’t recognize the ________________ protein on an APC, the immature T cell is told to die. Otherwise, they become functionally “ ________________________________________________ but ___________________________” until activated. During activation, there is a secondary exchange of signals between the presenting cell & activated T cells is called ________ -_______________________________. This prevents inappropriate activation of T cells. The important cytokine we discussed that is…arrow_forward
