Resource summary
Lymphatic System and Immunity
recirculates interstitial fluid
Components of Lymphatic System
Lymphatic Capillaries
Lymphatic Vessels
Lymph Nodes
Lymphatic Trunks
Lymphatic Ducts
Primary Lymph Organs
Thymus - T-Cells are formed
Annotations:
what is inveloom?
The thymus is where t and b cells mature
Hangs over heart, largest at puberty, shrinks as we age, makes t-cells, immunocompitent
Red Bone Marrow - B- cells
Secondary Lymph Organs and Tissues
Spleen
Annotations:
holds platelets- w/o spleen clotting can become problematic
White and red pulp; platelets are stored here; white-lymphatic tissue; old rbc's are destroyed here
Lymph Nodes
Scattered along lymphatic vessels; superficial and deep; serve as filters
Lymph- Clear, Milky interstitial Fluid in the lymphatic system
lymph moves the same way that blood moves-body facilitation
Annotations:
lymph fluid moves by respitory pump
Afferent Vessels- going in
Annotations:
There are more Afferent vessels then efferent, this is to give the B and T cells a chance to attack.
Efferent Vessels - going out
Annotations:
Less of these, and they leave the lymph node through the hilum (indentation)
Immune Response
Innate
Annotations:
We are born with this type of immunity, we get this from Mom
At birth we have non-specific and non adaptive immunity (immune response), this includes 1st and 2nd line of defense pgs 886-888 in text
Adaptive (aquired)
Annotations:
two types, cell mediated or antibody mediated, both are gained through vaccines
Describes the ability of the body to adapt defenses against antigens of specific bacteria, viruses, foreign tissue.....even toxins
Cell mediated
Antibody Mediated
right side is lymphatic; left side is thoracic
Annotations:
the sides of the lymphatic system
Lacteals
Annotations:
Specialized lymphatic capillaries
chemotaxis
Annotations:
wandering macrophages
Natural Killer Cells
Annotations:
"Terminator" cells - goes after cancer cells without hesitation - the theory is that we are born with only so many
Interferons
Annotations:
The beta ones are used to treat and to slow the progress of MS
Phagocytosis
Annotations:
There are 5 steps: Chemotaxis, Adherence, Ingestion, Digestion, Killing
