Histo 2 midterm Flashcards
Aspecific immune system cells
granulocytes
natural killer cells
marcophages
specific/ adaptive immunity
cellular (T-lymphocytes)
Humoral or antibody (B lymphocytes)
Lymphoid system
cells tissues and organs containing lymphocytes
whats the framework of lymphoid tissue?
Reticular connective tissue
Reticular connective tissue contains?
Reticuloendothelial cells
reticular fibers
reticular fibers collage type ?
TYPE III :)
Function of lymphoid system?
collection of excess interstitial fluid into lymphatic capillaries
transport of absorbed lipids from the small intestine
Immunological response to foreign invaders
Central (Primary) Lymphoid organs?
Bone Marrow
Thymus
peripheral (Seconary) Lymphoid organs
Lymph node
spleen
tonsils
MALT
TASKS of peripheral (Seconary) Lymphoid organs
Maintain mature lymphocytes and initiative adaptive immune response
Site of lymphocyte activation
TASK of Central (Primary) Lymphoid organs?
Production and early selection of Lymphocytes
Both T-cell and B-cells are ‘born’ in the bone marrow.
However, whereas B cells also mature in the bone marrow, T-cells have to migrate to the thymus, which is where they mature in the thymus.
(B= bildas av hematopoetiska stamceller i benmärgen)
How do we tell lymphoid cells from each other?
Based on:
location of differentiation and maturation
types of cell receptors
B Lymphocytes
Mature and become immunocompetent in bone marrow
Found in B dependent Zones in non thymic lymphoid tissue
Mediate humoral immune response
( this also req T-cells!)
T Lymphocytes
Mature in thymus
found in T dep in other lymphoid organs
carry out cell mediated immunity
wher do we find Hassall’s corpuscles ?
what are they composed of?
Medulla of thymus
closely packed whorls (virvlar) of epithelial cells representing highly keratinized medullary epithelial cells
What does Hassall’s corpuscles produce?
Cytokine thymic stromal lymphopoietin
Which stimulates thymic dentritic cells that in turn complete the maturation of single postive t cells
Blood Thymus Barrier Layers
Endothelium Basal lamina of capillary endothelium pericyte Perivascular connective tissue space Basal lamina of reticular cells Thymic cortical epithelial cell outside = (T lymphocyes )
