Chapter 14: Lymphatic System & Immunity (Study Guide & Practice Questions) LYMPHATIC SYSTEM Organization of the lymphatic systemLymphatic fluid (lymph)Lymphatic vessels Lymph organs Lymph- excess fluid left behind by capillary exchange that drains from tissue spaces and is transported by lymphatic vessels back to the bloodstream Lymphatic vessels- prevent only one-way movement of lymph Lymphatic capillaries- tiny blind-ended tubes distributed in tissue spaces Microscopic in size Sheets consisting of one cell layer of simple squamous epithelium Poor “fit” between adjacent cells results in porous walls Called lacteals in the intestinal wall (fat transportation from digestive tract to bloodstream)Right lymphatic ductDrains lymph from the right upper extremity and right side of the head, neck, and upper torso Thoracic duct Largest lymphatic vesselHas an enlarged pouch along its course (cisterna chyli)Drains lymph from about three-fourths of the bodyLymphoid organs- have masses of developing white blood cells (WBCs; lymphoid tissue) and functions that include defense and WBC formation Lymph nodesFilter lymph Located in clusters along the pathway of lymphatic vesselsLymphoid tissue- mass of lymphocytes and related cells provides immune function and development of immune cellsFlow of lymph: to node via several afferent lymphatic vessels and drained from node by a single efferent lymphatic vesselThymus Lymphoid tissue organ located in the mediastinumTotal weight of 35 to 40 g – a little more than an ouncePlays a vital and central role in immunity Development of T lymphocytes, or T cells Secretes hormones called thymosin’s (which influence T-cell development)Lymphoid tissue is eventually replaced by fat in the process called involution Tonsils Composed of masses of lymphoid tissue around the openings of the mouth and throatPalatine tonsils (“the tonsils”)Pharyngeal tonsils (also known as ADENOIDS)Lingual tonsilsSubject to chronic infection Enlargement of pharyngeal tonsils may impair breathingSpleenLargest lymphoid organ in the body Located in the upper left quadrant of the abdomenOften injured by trauma to the abdomen; surgical removal = splenectomyFunctions include phagocytosis of bacteria and old RBCs; monocyte reservoir; acts as a blood reservoirBecause the spleens functions can be done by other organs, one can survive without a spleen IMMUNE SYSTEM Protects the body from pathological bacteria, foreign tissues cells, and cancerous cells Made up defensive cells and molecules Two main strategies- nonspecific defenses and specific defenses Innate immunity Called innate because we are born with it (no prior exposure needed)Also called nonspecific immunity because it includes mechanisms that act generally against any type of damage of threatening agentMany types of innate immunity occur in the bodyNonspecific immunity is the rapid first response, it often triggers slower specific responsesInvolves a variety of signaling chemicals called cytokinesSkin- mechanical barrier to bacteria and other harmful agentsTears and mucus- wash eyes and trap and kill bacteria Inflammation Inflammatory response- attracts immune cells to site of injury, increases local blood flow, increases vascular permeability; promotes movement of WBCs to site of injury or infectionFever- systemic effect of increased body temperature; may increase immune efficiency or inhibit infectious agentsComplement- class of enzymes in blood plasma that can trigger a variety of immune responses; also involved in specific (adaptive) mechanismsAdaptive immunity Adaptive because of its ability to recognize, respond to, and remember harmful substances or bacteria Also called specific immunity because it responds to particular antigens to which is has been exposedTypes of adaptive immunity Natural immunity- exposure to causative agent is deliberateActive- vaccination results in activation of immune system and long-term protectionPassive- protective material developed in another individual’s immune system and given to previously nonimmune individual, giving short-term protection IMMUNE SYSTEM MOLECULESCytokinesCytokines are molecules that communicate among cells, coordinating immune responses Interleukins (ILs) are an example of cytokinesAntibodies Protein molecules with specific combining sitesCombining sites attach antibodies to specific antigens (foreign proteins), forming an antigen-antibody complex- this provides humoral, or antibody-mediated immunity Antigen-antibody complexes may do the following:Neutralize toxinsClump or agglutinate enemy cells Promote phagocytosis Complement proteins Group of proteins normally present in blood in an inactive stateComplement cascadeImportant mechanism of action for antibodies Causes cell lysis by permitting entry of water through a defect created in the plasma membraneAlso helps perform other functions—attracting immune cells to a site of infection, activating immune cells, marking foreign cells for destruction, increasing permeability of blood vessels—the inflammatory response IMMUNE SYSTEM CELLSPhagocytes Ingest and destroy foreign cells or other harmful substances via phagocytosis Types Neutrophils- short lived phagocytic cells; most abundant type of immune cellsMonocytes—develop into phagocytic macrophages and migrate to tissuesDendritic cells (DCs)—often found at or near external surfacesMacrophages and DCs act as antigen-presenting cells (APCs) by displaying ingested antigens on their outer surfacesLymphocytes Second most numerous immune system cells after neutrophils; include NK cells, B cells, and T cellsNatural killer (NK) cells- agents of innate immunity normal self-antigensCan attach to any cell but kill only cells lacking normal self-antigensUsually kill triggering apoptosis (programmed cell death)B cells (B lymphocytes)—agents of adaptive immunity Development of B cells—primitive stem cells migrate from bone marrow and go through two stages developmentFirst stage- stem cells develop into immature B cellsTakes place in the liver and bone marrow before birth and in the bone marrow only in adults B cells are small lymphocytes with antibody molecules (which they have synthesized) in their plasma membranes After they mature, inactive B cells migrate chiefly to lymph nodes Second stage- inactive B cells develops into activated B cellInitiated by inactive B cell’s contract with antigens, which bind to its surface antibodies, plus cytokines (signal chemicals) from T cells Activated B cell, by dividing repeatedly, forms two clones of cells- plasma (effector) cells and memory cellsPlasma cells secrete antibodies into blood; memory cells are sorted in lymph nodesIf subsequent exposure to the specific antigen that activated the B cell occurs, memory cells become plasma cells and secrete antibodies in large quantity Function of B cells—indirectly, B cells produce humoral immunity Activated B cells develop into plasma cellsPlasma cells secrete antibodies into the bloodCirculating antibodies produce humoral immunity T cells (T lymphocytes)—agents of adaptive immunityDevelopment of T cells- stem cells from bone marrow migrate to thymus gland First stage- stem cells develop into T cellsT cells mature in the thymus during the few months before and after birthMature T cells migrate chiefly to lymph nodesSecond stage—T cells develop into activated T cellsOccurs when and if antigen binds to T cell’s surface proteins and a cytokine (chemical signal) is received from another T cellAs with B cells, clones made up of effector cells and memory cells are formedFunctions of T cells—produce cell-mediated immunityCytotoxic T cells—kill infected or tumor cells by releasing a substance that poisons infected or tumor cellsHelper T cells—release cytokines that attract and activate macrophages to kill cells by phagocytosis; produce cytokines that help activate B cellsRegulatory T cells- release cytokines to suppress immune responses Chapter 14: Lymphatic System & Immunity (Practice Test)What is lymph?
