functions of the lymphatic system:
two major functions
-immunity
-to help maintain blood volume
lacteals
specialized lymphatic capillaries found in the small intestine pick up absorbed fats and take to live and are in the alveoli in the SI
most nutrients are absorbs in the blood except
lipids aka fats
lipids are taken care of were
liver
lyphatic system first main function
help maintain blood volume, when you have capillary beds some plasma leaks out you see some plasma gone due to
- osmotic pressure changing
-hydrostic pressure changing if it happens arround tissue it is called edema causes swelling
when plasma escapes
you get sweeling called edema
interstintial fluid
plasma, plasma electlytes, plasma gases, is outside the blood stream if keeeps accumaling will get edema
lyphatic cappilaries
smallest structures in the lyohatic system, in the interstitial fliud, are there to pick up interstitial fliud so you dont get edema,
lyphatic capillaries are made of
simple squamous epithelial
so the interstitial fluid is picked up by ___ and once it is picked up the name is now called ____
lyphatic capillaries, lymph
capillaries come together to larger thongs called
lyphatic vessels
lymphatic vessels
are similiar to veins in the circulaory system, have tunics and valves, three layers , pass through several lymph nodes
filter lymph is function
lymph nodes
lyphatic vessels is the only thing that can go throgh
lymph nodes
several lyhphtic vessels may come togther to form larger vessels called
lymphatic trunks and are named after the section of the body that they drain
in lyohatic system several trunks come back togther to form two main
lyphatic collecting ducts, two largest structures
-right thoracic duct
-thoracic duct
thoracic duct
longest and largest of two ducts basically originates in the abdominal pelvic and runs into the chest cavity and brings the fluid from the legs up (lymph or plasma)takes back to circulatory system and joins the left subclavian vein and empties here, (by left jugualr vein)is dump into the RA oxygen poor side
right thoracic duct
starts and stops in the thoracic cavity and drains the head and neck , returns filtered plasma
subclavian vein
is where the thoracic cavity empties then this empties, (by left jugualr vein) or dump into the RA oxygen poor side
what is the functions of the ducts
return filtered plamsa to the heart
lymph nodes info:
has a convex surface and a concave surface, is one oping into hilum, is living tissue need blood supply
hilum
opening into the lyphm node on concave side all blood supply enters here, atereries, veins, nerves
concave lymph side
afferent lymph vessels enter here and bring lymph in
convex lymph side
ateries, veins, nerves
nodules
structural unit of a lymph node makes more iffecient make into chambers
lymphocytes
immunity main function is prodiced in lymph node and they are phocytic eat what come it and clean debree waste ect
swollen node means you have a overprodution of
lymph nodes, peyers pathches in intestine
____ travels through lymph nodes
cancer
lymph function
make sure it is clean plasma when gets back to heart
no direct cinection between the heart and the
lymphatic system
we move lymph
valves
breathing
hydrostatic pressure
skeletal muscle
same as veis
thymus gland
attaches to the top of heart, lobules are in it
thymus gland info:
starts of as lyphatic tissue,is active through puberty and young adulescants, when you get elderly it turns to adipose c.t and elastic b/c you dont need it no more
lobules
compartments in the thymus by c.t and you find lymphocytes in here
thymocytes
are lyphocytes that are in the thymus gland are in inactive
when thymocytes gain a active function they are called
tcells ,t lyphocytes
thymosin
is required to changed thymocytes to t-cells
if you have an ineffisent amount of thymosin you wont have any
t- cells
we gain most immunity through t-cells through
puberty
spleen
the biggest lyphatic organ, just lateral to the stomach
lobules
compartments of spleen
spleen is a
non vital organ you can live without it
non vital define
you can live without
fuctions of spleen
filters blood
stores blood
liver can taker over functions of the
spleen
white pulp
masses of lyphocytes, inside the lobules, clean filters blood takes out what we dont need or want
red pulp
blood
when lyphocytes are in the spleen they are
phagocytic
what are 3 phogocytic things in the lyphatic system
liver, spleen, lyphocytes
stomach is
digestive system
immunity
our bodys response to infection or inflammation
infection
the presence and multilcation of disease causing agents
pathogens
living disease causings agent
-bacteria
-viruses
-protozoans
-fungi
what are the types of pathogens
-bacteria
-viruses
-protozoans
-fungi
allergens
list could be living or non
-dust
-cat dander
-house hold cleaners
-pollen(living)
types of allergens
-dust
-cat dander
-house hold cleaners
-pollen(living
anything that lyphocytes respond to as far as a immune resonse that come in the body so that resonse is a ____
antigen
antigen info
is non living and living
self substance
what your body produces is self substance
non self substance
come from someone else in the body is produce else where
most ___ is good and we need them
bacteria
fetus is a
non self substance
selective supression immune system
is when you have a spontaneous abortion tcells b/c body rejects sperm
non specific immunity
1.species resistance
2.mechanical barrier
3.enzymtic action
4.interferon
5.inflammation
6.phagocytosis
two types of immunity
specific immunity
non specific immunity
species resistance
we have a blanket immunity to disease that other species get so we dont get
1.parvo can be, hiv
mechanical barrier
skin, we have it, maintains the homeostostis of the body
enzymatic action
have enzymes in our fluid even tears (lysozyme)keep bacterial levels out
interferon
hormone like peptide, use to treat cancer (tumors), responds to virus and stops the spread,
inflammation
inflammatory response, WBC come to site due to bruise open cut ect, macrophages, trying to localize it
phagocytosis
monocytes, nuetrophils are phogoctytic, mono eat big stuff
specific immunity
pathogens
toxins poisoins substances
antigens
anything that which a lymphocyte displays a immune response
antigens types
pathogens
allergens
pathogens
disease causing using living
allergens
can be living or non living and cause allergic reactians type of immunity
haptens
small antigens and come into the ody on other big antigens can be like dust or chemicals in the air
stem cells
underfferintated lynphytes, do not have a purpose yet
is some red bone marrow in fetal production that produces
lymphoytes and get into the blood stream
50% of the cells come from the RBC and go to the
thymus gland(deffericaite) then thymasin changes it to T-cells then enters blood for second time pr can circulae in blood for 2nd time about 70-80 do this and the rest go to the sites of lyhmp nodes and sites of spleen
other 50% of the cells come from the RBC and go to the
is processed in the fetal liver then is to b-lyphocytes which is bone marrow devrived, then has two ways to go in to the blood about 20-30% circ lyphocyte and others settle in lymphatic organs and nodes spleen
lymphokines
chemical substance that T-cells produce to help the cells fight of antigens
b- means
bone marrow derived
t- means
thymus derived
antibodies
are protiens are produces and secreted by b-cells`
b-cells produce what
t-cells produce what
antibodies
lymphokines
t-cells info
require the presense of another kind of cell(assesory cell) before they can be activated
t-cell can be activeted by
macrophages, b-cells
b-cells info
can be activated when you encounter an antigen thats molecular shape fits the shape of the b-cells anitigen receptors
Antibodies info
are produced and secreted by the b-cells are soluble globular proteins called immonoglobulins
primary immune response
secondary immunse response
first encounter a lymhocyte has with the antigen, everything after is you secondary
immonoglobulins
b-cells are soluble globular proteins is also the shot you get from the doctor
secondary immune response is also called
memory cells because the next time it rembers and the t-cells take care of it and take care of it immunity
antigens
B-cells:
globular proteins
attack antigens directly
activate enzymes
stimulate local changes to prevent spread to antigens
specific immunity
three ways to gain
-naturally aquired
-artiffically aquired active immunity
-artificially aquired passive immunity
naturally aquired active immunity
get from disease so then you you naturrally get the antigen and immunity, long term immunity
artificially aquired active immunity
vaccine, are long term
artificially aquired passive immunity
you gamma gobulin shot,ready made antibodies are short term immunity
allergens- non living, living or
immediate-show up now
delayed- reaction later
specialized group of t-cells, supress reaction
supressor cells
slective supressive supressive immunty
allows you to carry a fetus and the sperm some dont have this and get spontaneous abortions
immunosupreesive drugs
non self substance so we use these drugs to help the body supress our immune system
