Day 1 The Lymphatic and Immune Systems
Lymphatic System • Functions? • Return fluid to circulatory system • Defense • Specific • Non-specific
Lymph Formation and Flow • Fluid leaks from blood capillaries • Enters lymphatic capillaries • Returns to circulatory system through lymphatic trunks
Do you remember… • Structural hierarchy: • Atoms • Molecules • Organelles • Cells • Tissues • Organs • Organ systems
Lymphatic Cells • Lymphocytes • T lymphocytes mature in thymus • B lymphocytes mature in bone marrow • Macrophages • begin as monocytes • leave lymphatic tissue to enter surrounding tissue
Lymphatic Tissues • Mucosa-associated lymphatic tissue (MALT) • Patches of tissue in mucous membranes • Respiratory • Tonsils • GI • Small intestine • Appendix
Lymphatic Organs • Lymph nodes • cleanse lymph • store and produce T and B cells
Lymphatic Organs • Spleen • scans and cleans blood • Thymus • nursery for T cells
Nonspecific Defense • Phagocytosis • neutrophils • macrophages (formerly monocytes) • engulf, destroy, debris out via exocytosis • Natural killer cells • bind to infected cells • proteins perforate cells
Nonspecific Defense • Complement • plasma proteins assist with phagocytosis • Interferons • released by virus infected cells • slow/stop viral growth, replication
The Development of Inflammation • Tissue damage • Histamine and other inflammatory chemicals released • BV dilate, blood flow increases, capillary permeability increases • Clotting and scar formation
Fever • Activation of leukocytes and macrophages causes release of pyrogens • Hypothalamus raises body temperature, causing a fever • Advantage?
Lymph and Immune Systems • Day 2
Operation? • Natural killer cells • Complement • Interferon • Pyrogens
Antigens • On the surface of cells • “Self” vs.“nonself”
Lymphocytes • Recognize only one antigen • Cloned in response to antigen presentation • Memory cells made
Cancer and Lymph Nodes • Rapid, unregulated cell growth • Metastasis • Cells may lodge in lymph nodes
Allergies • Strong response to a harmless antigen • Release of histamine • Symptoms… • Anaphylaxis – severe allergic reaction • Allergy shots?
Autoimmune Disorders • Like allergies – but attack of own tissues • Cause unclear • Examples • rheumatoid arthritis • multiple sclerosis • type I diabetes
HIV and AIDS • HIV • infects and kills helper T cells • AIDS • helper T cell count falls below 200/mm3 • immune system seriously weakened • patient is susceptible to opportunistic infection
