Involved in antibody production and othe immune system response

Monocyte

Macrophages that ingest MCO and cellular debris

Leukopenia

Decrease in WBC

Platelets

Cell fragments involved in preventing blood loss

Vascular spasm

Blood vessels constrict in response to injury resulting in decreased blood flow

ABO Blood Group

The classification of human blood based on inherited poperties of red blood cells

Blood typing

Determines the ABO and Rh blood groupings of a blood sample

X match test

Aggutination reactions between donors and recipient blood

Consist of RBC count


Hgb measurement


Hct measurement


WBC

Complete Blood Count

Differential WBC

Determines the % of each type of WBC

Clotting

Platelets count and prothrombin time measurement determine the bloods ability to clot

Blood chemistry

Composition of materials dissolved or suspended in plasma

Anemia

Low RCB

Polycythemia vera

High RBC

Infection

High WBC

Hemorrhage/Bleeding

Low platelet count

Lymphatic system or lymphoid system

Organ system in vertebrates that is part of the circulatory system and immune system.



Made up of large network of lymphatic vessels etc

Lymphatic vessels

Carry lymph away from tissues. Valves in the vessels ensure the one way flow of lymph

Skeletal muscle contraction

Contraction of lymphatic vessel, smooth muscle and thoracic pressure changes moves

Thoracic duct and lymphatic duct

Empty lymph into the blood

Lymphatic tissue

Produce lymphocytes when exposed to foreign substances and it filters lymph and blood

Tonsils

Protect the opening between the nasal and oral cavities and the pharynx

Lymph nodes

Located along lymphatic vessels; filter lymph

White pulp of the spleen

Responds to foreign substances in the blood whereas the red pulp phagocytizes foreign substance and worn out RBC.



Reservoir for blood

Thymus

Processes lymphocytes that move to other lymphatic tissue to respond to foreign substances

Thymus

Formation of t cells

Tonsils/adenoids

Distinguish invaders for destruction

Spleen

Filters blood and distributes t and b cells

Lymph glands

Storage and white blood cell formation

Bone marrow

B cells are produced in bone marrow

Immunity

Ability to resist the harmful effects of MCO and other foreign substances

Physcial barriers

Barriers that prevent MCO from enetering the body

Physical mediators

Kills MCO, promotes phagocytosis and increase inflamation

Interferons

Prevent replication of viruses

Chemotaxis

Ability of cells to move toward MCO or sites of tissue damage

Neutrophils

First phagocytic cells to respond to MCO

Macrophages

Large phagocytic cells that are active in latter part of an infection, are positioned at sites where MCO may enter the tissue

Basophils and mast cells

Promotes inflammation

Eosonophils

Play a role in inflammation associated with allergic reaction

Natural killer cells

Lyse tumor cells virus infected cells

Lymphatic vessels

Collect tissue fluid from loose connective tissue



Carry fluid to great veins in the neck


Fluid flows only toward the heart

Chemotaxis


Opsonization


Ingestion


Digestion


Release

Macrophages phagocytosis

Chemotaxis

Attracts macrophages to the anigen site

Opsonization

Coats the MCO, enhancing macrophages binding to this antigen

Ingestion

Macrophages extends its membrane around the opsonized MCO engulfing it within the vacuole (phagosome)

Digestion

Forms phagolysosomes where antigen destruction occurs

Release

Once digestion is complete, macrophages expels digestive debris

Digestive system

Consist of gastrointestinal tract plus accessory organs for digestion

Digestion

Involves the breakdown of food into smaller and smaller components

Digestion

Involves the breakdown of food into smaller and smaller components

Parotid


Submandibular


Sublimgual

3 salivary glands

Saliva

Secretion of salivary glands

Amylase

Initiates the digestion of starch

Lingual lipase

Begins digestion of fat

Mastication

Accomplish by the teeth, which cut, tear and crush food

Esophagus (Esophageal sphincter - regulates movement)

Connects the pharynx to the stomach

Deglutition

Act of swallowing

4 tunics


1. Mucosa


2. Submucosa


3. Muscularis


4. Serosa or adventitia

Histology of GI tract

Peritoneum

Serous membrane that lines the abdominal cavity and covers the organ

Mesentrics

Double layers of peritoneum that extend from body wall to many abdominal organs

Retroperitoneal

Organs located behind the parietal peritoneum

Stomach

Has a cardiac opening from esophagus and pyloric opening into duodenum

Gastric glands

Produce mucus, hydrochloric acid, pepsin, gastrin and intrinsic factor

1. Cephalic phase


2. Gastric phase


3. Intestinal phase

Regulaiton of stomach secretion

Cephalic phase

Vagus nerve stimulates gastric secretion even before food is swallowed

Gastric phase

Food stretches the stomach and activates myenteric and vagovagal reflexes

Intestinal phase

Intestinal gastrin briefly stimulates the stomach

Small Intestine (22 ft)

Where most chemical digestion and absorption of nutrients takes place

Liver

Role is to produce bile

Bile

Substance that physically breaks up large fat droplets that clump together

Gallbladder

Organ that stores bile
