- 4ThymusMaturation of T-Cells
- 5PeripheralLymph Nodes, spleen, peyers patches

- 7Lymph NodeEncapsulations of B cells connected by lymph vessels
- 8MALTMucosa Associated Lymphatic Tissue i.e Peyers Patches, tonsils
- 9Role of Lymphocytic TrafficImmune surveillance that allows activation of lymphocytes at site of infection
- 10Immune SurveillanceConstant recirculation of lymphocytes to maximise antigen/pathogen detection
- 11Lymphocyte recirculationPass from blood --> Lymph System (if antigen is not present it moves back into the blood)
- 12Encountering Specific AntigenLymphocyte proliferates clonally
- 13Naive lymphocyteL. that has not yet encountered antigen it's specific for (recirculate constantly)
- 14Effector CellActivated (armed) lymphocyte by its antigen
- 15Memory Cell locationSpread throughout host to help recognise recurring antigens
