64. They are classified by degree of movement and the type of material that holds the joints together.

65. The joining material is flexible ligament that gives during activity, thereby allowing slight movement of the joint.

66. Examples of amphiarthrosis are symphysis, which allows a stretching of joints during certain activity, and synchondrosis, in which the flexible material (cartilage) ossifies and then no movement occurs. Neither requires joint capsules, lubrication or ligaments for stability; diarthroses require all three for free movement and protection of the joint.

67. The joint capsule is loose enough to allow the humerus to move away from the glenoid fossa.

68. Age brings on loss of joint flexibility. Exercise can help overcome this problem.

69. Lymph capillaries transport larger molecules because they are larger and more permeable than blood capillaries.

70. They consist of various kinds of lymphocytes and other tissue as well as a network of fibers, macrophages and the hilum.

71. As lymph enters the node bringing microorganisms and foreign substances, it stimulates the germinal center. This center produces lymphocytes that will migrate to the blood and produce antibodies. Macrophages will remove the microorganisms and foreign substances.

72. In Africa elephantiasis is caused by the bite of a mosquito that transmits nematode worm. It eventually results in swelling of the arms or legs and can affect the genitals as well. In Malaysia the disease is inflicted by a different mosquito and a different nematode worm and affects the limbs but not the genitals.

73. Because the spleen phagocytizes bacteria and produces both lymphocytes and plasma cells, removal would limit those functions to other organs.

74. They are amino acids and they bind to antigens for elimination with enzymes.

75. The virus destroys the T cells that make up the body’s immune response. Therefore, pathogens and diseases normally destroyed by the body are left to multiply and destroy body tissue.

76. With advancing age, we become more susceptible to infections. Although T cell levels remain fairly constant, the cells become less responsive to antigens and fewer such cells respond to infections. B cells react in a similar manner. The general reduction in immunities can also result in the reactivation of latent pathogens.

77. An immunologist is a physician specialist who studies the reactions of immune system tissues to stimulation from antigens. An oncologist is a physician who specializes in treatment and study of any abnormal growth of benign or malignant new tissue.

97. Aging makes people more susceptible to digestive problems. There are reduced mucus and enzyme secretions, making the movement of food through the digestive tract more difficult. In addition, reduced mucous membrane lining and less protective connective tissue make the system more susceptible to toxic contaminants, infections, ulcerations and cancers.

79. The kidneys help homeostasis by eliminating nitrogenous wastes, drugs and toxins; controlling blood volume; regulating the amount of urine produced; maintaining proper balance of sodium, chloride, potassium, calcium and phosphate ions; regulating proper pH levels; adjusting filtration pressure; producing a hormone that stimulates red blood cell production; and converting vitamin D into an active form.
