Lymphatic system functions

Returns interstitial fluid and leaked plasma proteins back to the blood ( once interstitial fluid enters lymphatic sit is called lymph)


Provide a structural base from immune system

Lymphatic capillaries

Permeable take up debrisl

Lymphatic ducts

Right lymphatic duct drains the right upper are abc right side of the head and thorax


Thoracic duct arises from cisterna chyle and drums rest of body


Both empty into venous circulation at interval jugular and subclavian veins

Lymph is transported by..

Pulsations of nearby arteries


And contractions if smooth muscle in the walls of the lymphatics

T cells

Manage immune response attack and destroy

B cells

Produce plasma proteins which secrete antibodies

Macrophages


dendritic and


reticular cells

Phagocytize


Capture antigens and deliver to lymph nodes


Produce stroma to support other cells

Lymph nodes

Principle lymphatic organs. Filter lymph with macrophages , immune system lymphocytes are activated attack antigens

Lymph entrance and exit of lymph nodes

Afferrent entrance efferent exit (fewer)

Spleen

Largest lymphatic organ cleanses blood of aged cells


White pulp-around central arteries (lymphocytes)


Red pulp- disposal of old rbcs and pathogens

Thymus

Larger in childhood T cell maturation

Tonsils

simplest lymphoid organs


Crypts trap and destroy bacteria

Peter patches

Clusters of lymphoid follicles small intestine


And appendix ( generate memory lymphocytes)

MALT

Mucosa associated lymphatic tissue


- peters patches, tonsils, and appendix protects digestive and respiratory system

Innate defense system

1st line of defense external body membranes and mucosa


2nd line of defense anti microbial proteins phagocytes mad other cells (inflammation)

Adaptive defense system

3rd line if defense specific

Macrophages

Develop from monocytes become phagocytize

Neutrophils

Become phagocytize on encountering infectious material in tissues

Natural killer cells

Secrete potent chemicals that enhance the inflammatory response

inflammatory response

Triggered when body tissues are injured or infected

Cardinal signs of acute inflammation

Redness pain swelling heat sometimes impairment of function

Inflammatory mediators

Histamine from mast cells blood proteins complement

Exudate

inflammatory chemicals case to leak. Moves foreign materials into lymphatic vessels

Interferons and complement proteins

Attack micro organisms directly and hider their ability to reproduce


Viral infected cells secrete IFN which enter neighboring cells


Complement kills bacteria and certain other cell types by lysis. (mAC-water into cells)

Fever

Systemic response to invading micro organisms. Leukocytes and macrophages secrete pyrogens which elevate temp


High fevers are dangerous because heat denatures enzymes


Benefits of moderate fever ^ metabolic rate>repair. Causes liver and spleen to sequester iron and zinc needed by micro organisms

Adaptive immune response

Specific has memory humoral antibody mediated B cells


Cellular mediatred T cells

Antigens

Substances that can metabolize the adaptive defenses bad provoke an immune response( complex molecules)

Complete antigens

Immunogenicity ability to stimulate proliferation of specific lymphocytes and antibodies


Reactivity ability to react with products I'd activated lymphocytes and antibodies released

Haptens incomplete antigens

Small molecules not immunogenicity by themselves are immunogenicity when attached ti body proteins

Antigenic determinants

Certain parts if antigens that's are immunogenic antibodies and lymphocyte receptors bind to them

Self antigens MHC proteins

Proteins molecules on the surface of cells(self antigens) display peptides

When lymphocytes mature

They develop immuncompetence ability to recognize and bind to a specific antigen


Self tolerance unresponsive ti antigens

Antigen presenting cells

Engulf antigens present fragments of antigens to be recognized by T cells

Clone cells that do not become plasma cells become

Memory cells

Primary immune response

Occurs ion the first exposure to a specific exposure to a specific antigen

Secondary immune response

Occurs on re exposure to same specific antigen


-antibody levels peak in 2-3 days


- antibodies bind stronger


-antibody level can remain high for weeks

Antibodies

Immunoglobulins, proteins secreted by plasma cells

IgM

1st antibody released

IgA

In mucus and other secretions

IgD

B cell receptor

IgG

Crosses the placenta barrier

IgE

Some allergies and parasitic infections

Defense mechanisms used by antibodies

Neutralization( antibodies block specific sites on viruses or bacterial exotoxins prevent binding to tissues) and agglutination( cross linked antigen antibodies agglutinate)


Precipitation and complement fixation( trigger cell lysis)

Types of T cells

CD4 helper T cells


CD8 cytotoxic T cells


Regulatory T cells


Memory T cells
