Q

Spleen Gross Function

A

Filter blood and remove antigen, microbes, old RBC

17
Q

Asplenia at risk for?

A

Infection, normally via ENCAPSULATED bacteria

18
Q

MALT & Tonsil FXN & Structure

A
  • Defend Mucosal Surfaces
  • collections of fibroblasts & WBCs
  • MALT (loose) uncapsulated
  • Tonsils - partially capsulated
19
Q

Steps of Cell Migration

A

Extravastation
-movement of WBC thru vessel wall into tissue (uses integrins & selectins)
Chemotaxis
-Directed movement via chemokines

20
Q

B Cell Migration to 2 Lymph Organ

A
  • CXCL13 secreted from follicular dendritic cells (FDCs)

- CXCR5 binds CXCL13 & guides via chemotaxis

21
Q

T Cell Migration to 2 Lymph Organ

A
  • CCL19 & CCL21 secreted from stromal cells of T zone

- CCR7 binds CCL19 & CCL21 & guides via chemotaxis

22
Q

Lymphocytes are constantly circ. btw blood & 2 lymph structures. How?

A
  • spleen via blood vessels

- Lymph node, HEV in and lymph system to subclavian v. out
