The document summarizes key aspects of the lymphatic system and immunity. It describes the lymphatic system's role in returning excess fluid from tissues, transporting lipids, and helping immune defenses. It also outlines the two main types of immunity - innate and adaptive immunity. Innate immunity provides immediate, non-specific protection while adaptive immunity involves lymphocytes and memory cells that provide a slower but more specific response. The adaptive immune response includes both cell-mediated immunity involving T cells and antibody-mediated immunity involving B cells and antibodies.

- 2. Copyright 2010, John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Immunity Innate Immunity Fast, non-specific and no memory Barriers, pH extremes, Phagocytes & NK cells, fever, inflammation, complement, interferon Adaptive Immunity Slower, specific & has a memory Lymphocytes: T-cells & B-cells

Lymphatic System Lymphatic tissue Reticular connective tissue containing lymphocytes Bone marrow Lymph- interstitial fluid in lymphatic vessels Returns excess filtration from capillaries- to circulation Transport dietary lipids Maintenance & distribution- lymphoid organs Filter bacteria and help active defenses

Lymphatic Vessels Begin at lymphatic capillaries Slightly larger than blood capillaries Overlapping cells like one-way valve Pressure will force fluid in Merge to form larger & larger vessels Thin walled and more valves than veins Periodically have lymph nodes Lymphocytes in capsuled structure thoracic duct L subclavian vein At junction with jugular R. lymphatic duct R. subclavian vein

- 12. Copyright 2010, John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Thymus Two lobed organ Posterior to sternum, medial to lungs & superior to heart T-cells divide & mature Self reactive cells are removed
- 13. Copyright 2010, John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Lymph Nodes Scattered throughout the body Concentrated near mammary glands, axilla & groin Contain mature B-cells, T-cells dendritic cells and macrophages Filter lymph, trap foreign substances Macrophages & lymphocytes destroy most foreign substances
- 14. Copyright 2010, John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Lymph Nodes
- 15. Copyright 2010, John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Spleen Between stomach & diaphragm Contains blood filled venous sinuses and RBCs, macrophages, lymphocytes plasma cells & granular leukocytes destroys worn or defective blood cells & platelets Stores platelets attacks foreign substances in blood Fetal hemopoiesis
- 16. Copyright 2010, John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Innate Immunity: Barriers Skin: physical and chemical Epidermal structure & constant shedding Mucous membranes Sticky mucus layer straps microbes, etc. and cilia move it out Fluids: tears, saliva, perspiration, nasal secretions Dilute and antibacterial action Movement: flow of urine, defecation & vomiting
- 17. Copyright 2010, John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Internal Defenses: Proteins Interferons Interfere with viral reproduction in a cell Complement System Enhance other immune actions Break cell membranes Attract phagocytes Tag microbial cells for destruction Transferrins- bind iron and starve bacteria Antimicrobial peptides: lyse microbes
- 18. Copyright 2010, John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Internal Defenses: Cells Phagocytes specialized to ingest microbes and cellular debris Neutrophils Monocytes macrophages 5-10% of lymphocytes = Natural Killer (NK) Cells Destroy microbes & tumor cells Present in lymph nodes & red bone marrow
- 19. Copyright 2010, John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Inflammation Response to tissue damage Indicated by redness, pain, heat & swelling
- 20. Copyright 2010, John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Inflammation 1. Damage mast cells, basophils & platelets release histamine increased permeability & vasodilation in blood vessels 2. Leakage of clotting proteins into tissue- Isolate bacteria behind clot 3. Phagocytes attracted to site Neutrophils & macrophages eat & die 4. Pocket of dead cells = pus Moves to body surface or into cavity & is cleared
- 21. Copyright 2010, John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Inflammation
- 22. Copyright 2010, John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Fever Abnormally high body temperature New set-point of thermoregulation system Normal temperature control action with new set point Stimulated by many toxins or internal signals Interleukin-1
- 23. Copyright 2010, John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Adaptive Immunity Specifically directed against a particular type of invader Involves cell or antibody directed against a particular antigen Antigen can be any substance: microbe, food, pollen, tissue Normally self–tolerant Does not attack normal body tissue
- 24. Copyright 2010, John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Maturation of T and B cells From stem cells in red bone marrow B cells mature in bone marrow T cells migrate to thymus During maturation both make particular proteins in plasma membranes = antigen receptors
- 25. Copyright 2010, John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Types of Responses Cell-mediated- T-cells attack directly Killer T-cells Antibody-mediated B cells become plasma cells Produce specific antibodies Helper T cells aid both cell- and antibody- mediated responses
- 26. Copyright 2010, John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Antigens & Antibodies Major Histocompatability Complex (MHC) = self antigens on cells surface Unique to each individual Allows T-cells to recognize foreign material Antigen triggers plasma cell to produce antibodies Y-shaped protein with variable antigen binding site on arms Other end triggers recognition by phagocyte

- 29. Copyright 2010, John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Triggering Adaptive Response Requires recognizing the foreign antigen B-ceils can find it anywhere T-cells need presentation with MHC Antigen presenting cells (APC) do this APCs macrophages, dendritic cells & B cells In respiratory, GI, urinary, reproductive tracts & lymph nodes
- 30. Copyright 2010, John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Processing & Presenting Antigens APC’s ingest & digest into fragments in vesicles Synthesize MHC & pack in vesicles Two vesicles fuse Antigen fragments bind to MHC Antigen-MHC complex inserted into plasma membrane Presented to T-cells until a receptor matches & binds

B-cells and Antibody-Mediated Response Hang out in lymph nodes Respond to antigen (faster if presented) With IL-2 enlarge, divide and become a clone of plasma cells Plasma cells produce & release antibodies that bind the antigen Some remain as Memory B Cells Ready to respond quickly if antigen met again
