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 |
