  1. SPECIFIC BODY DEFENSES: The Lymphatic and Immune System

  2. I. Basics A.  Functions 1.   Absorption and return of excess fluid the blood stream   2.  Absorption of fat (in the villi of the small intestine) 3.   Immune System Function

  3. I. Lymphatic System Basics B. Composed of 1.Lymph – interstitial fluid 2.Lymph vessels a.  Closely associated with circulatory system b.  Similar to veins c.  Contraction of skeletal mscl causes movement of lymph fluid through valves

  4. I. Basics B. Composed of 3.Lymph Organs a.Lymph nodes • Areas of Concentrated lymphocytes and macrophages along the lymphatic vessels • Filter lymph

  5. I. Basics B. Composed of 3.Lymph Organs b.Bone Marrow produces lymphocytes c. Spleen Serves as Blood reservoir Purifies blood and lymph

  6. I. Basics B. Composed of 3.Lymph Organs c.  Thymus causes pre-T cells to mature to T-cells d.  Tonsils e.  Pyer’s Patches

  7. II. Immune Response A. Basics 1.The body's 3rd line of defense 2.Amplifies inflammatory response B.Important Aspects 1. Antigen specific 2. Systemic 3. Has memory

  8. II. Immune Response C. Kinds of Immune Response 1.Specific Immunity a. Antibodies bind only to antigen b. B-lymphocytes – antibody prod. c. T-lymphocytes – produce lymphokines 2.  Nonspecific Defense a. Physical barriers b. Tears c. Phagocytes d. Fever / Inflammation

  9. D. Kinds of Immune Response 1.Humoral Immunity a. Provided by antibodies in the bodies humors (fluids) b. Antibodies. 1)    Are produced by lymphocytes 2)    Circulate freely in the blood and lymph 3) Bind primarily to bacteria, toxins, free viruses inactivates & marks for destruction

  10. D. Kinds of Immune Response 2.Cell Mediated Immunity a. Provided by nonantibody- producing lymphocytes b. Directly attack and lyse body cells. 1)    containing viruses or parasite 2)    Cancer cells 3) Foreign grafts c. Release chemical mediators 1)   enhances inflammatory resp. 2)   Help activate lymphocytes or macrophages

  11. III. Cells of the Immune Sys. B. Natural Killer Cells 1.Similar to the killer T cell 2. Function as effector cells that directly kill certain tumors and viral-infected cells 3. kill their targets without a prior "conference" in the lymphoid organs. 4.  More efficient if 1st activated by T-cells

  12. III. Cells of the Immune Sys. C. B Cells 1.production of antibodies 2. Antibody production and binding to a foreign substance or antigen, often is critical as a means of signaling other cells to engulf, kill or remove that substance from the body

  13. III. Cells of the Immune Sys. D. Granulocytes or Polymorphonuclear (PMN) Leukocytes 1.neutrophils 2. Important in the removal of bacteria and parasites

  14. III. Cells of the Immune Sys. E. Macrophages and Dendritic Cells 1.regulate immune responses 2. antigen-presenting cells (APC) 3. Functions Phagocytes Secretion of cytokines Antigen presentation

  15. III. Cells of the Immune Sys. F. Dendritic Cells 1.antigen-presenting cells 2. More efficient APC than macrophages 3. capture antigen or bring it to the lymphoid organs where an 4. bind high amount of HIV, and may be a reservoir of virus

  16. III. OTHER A. Active, Passive and Acquired Immunity 1.Active Immunity achieved by responses of ones immune system 2. Passive Immunity achieved with exogenous immune cells or products

  17. III. OTHER A. Active, Passive and Acquired Immunity 3. Acquired Immunity comes from infection or from a new born’s mothe 4. Artificial Immunity comes from immunizations

  18. III. OTHER C. Autoimmune diseases 1. diseases caused by failure of the immune system to recognize “self 2.Examples a.rheumatoid arthritis (joints) b.lupus erythematosus (connective tissue) c.Graves’ disease (thyroid)

  19. III. OTHER D. AIDS - Immunodeficiency Syndrome 1. Causes death 2.Caused by Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) 3. kills T-4 lymphocytes 4. T-4 lymphocytes induce B-lymphocytes to fight infection 5. Debilitated immune system

  20. III. OTHER D. AIDS - Immunodeficiency Syndrome 6. no cure for HIV 7. HIV infection causes AIDS, and AIDS allows other infections to kill the person with the HIV infection

  21. D. Kinds of Immune Response 2.Cell Mediated Immunity a. Provided by nonantibody- producing lymphocytes b. Directly attack and lyse body cells. 1)    containing viruses or parasite 2)    Cancer cells 3) Foreign grafts c. Release chemical mediators 1)   enhances inflammatory resp. 2)   Help activate lymphocytes or macrophages
