| PH1009 | Eosinophilia, blood | type of white blood cells | |
| PH1010 | Hodgkin's disease, lymph gland | cells in the lymphatic system grow abnormally and may spread beyond the lymphatic system; with time compromises the body's ability to fight infection | |

| PH1029 | Phagocytosis, lymph gland | lymph gland showing phagocytes devouring bacteria | |
| PH1030 | Spleen | located on the left side of the abdomen near the stomach; produces lymphocytes, filters the blood, stores blood cells, and destroys old blood cells | |
