Lecture 8-10 lymphatics Flashcards
___ comprises the vessels and organs that allow the immune system to work
lymphatic system
some components of the lymphatic system are
thymus, lymph nodes and spleen
lymphatic system maintains ___
functional immunity
Primary lymphatic organs
bone marrow
thymus
Secondary lymphatic system
Lymph nodes
spleen
mucosa associated lymphoid tissue (MALT)
Tertiary Lymphatics
small lymphatics organs that show up during some diseases and preform immune functions
Adult cells of lymphatic system
effector B cells
effector T cells
another name for effector B cells
plasma cells
where are lymphatic cells generated and “educated”
primary lymphoid organs
where are lymphatic cells maintained and activated
secondary lymphoid organs
How do lymphatic cells survey an animal
Lymphocyte recirculation
steps of innate immune response
first line of defense
rapid
mediated by non-specific effector cells (macrophages and neutrophils)
steps of adaptive immune response
later, long lived, memory cells
mediated by T-cells and B cells (cellular-(T-cells) and humoral (B-Cells))
highly specific (antigen recognition)
requires initial innate immune response
how does macrophages and neutrophils destroy pathogens
“eats them”
phagocytosis
innate immune response
soluble proteins made by one cell that affect the function of another
cytokines
chemotactic cytokines
chemokines
explain how cytokines work
Macrophage eats pathogen, this triggers the release of cytokines, which will trigger dilation of local small blood vessels
adhesion molecules are expressed on inside of blood vessels.
these, adhesion molecules, attract leukocytes
leukocytes are taken out of the blood vessel and carried to the original infection because they are attracted by “chemokines”
___ attracts more macrophages/neutrophils to help in the inflammatory response
chemokines
what cells are requires for the initiating of adaptive immune response
dendritic cells
explain how dendritic cells work
capture some bacteria
breaks it up and then takes part of antigen and “presents” it on the dendritic cells surface
Then move to nearest lymphatic vessel and then “drains” into the nearest lymphatic organ (lymph node)
this activates T- Lymphocytes
T cells and B cells have ___ on their surface
monoclonal antigen receptors
small piece of pathogen that is recognized by T and B cell antigen receptors
antigen
Each B cell can identify many types of antigens
True or False
False
1 b cell=1 antigen
very specific
Antigen presenting cells are also called ___
dendritic cells
Where do T-cells develop
in the Thymus
T cells can turn into
T-helper cells (CD4)
T-Cytotoxic (CD8)
(single positive SP)
double positive T cells
precursor T cells that have CD4 and CD8
T-helper cells
CD4
producing cytokines and other soluble mediators that HELP other cells of the immune response including macrophages, eosinophils and B cells
T cytotoxic
CD8
finds and kills infected cells
How does T cell “see” antigen
antigen is expressed on surface of dendritic cell
T cell receptor (TCR) sees and binds to this peptide antigen
antigen is presented on specific MHC proteins
MHC are found in what
dendritic cells
explain how pathogen gets expressed by dendritic cells
dentrictic cell eats pathogen
lysomes breaks down pathogen into antigen
MCH proteins are attached to antigen
this is then expressed onto membrane and is “seen” by the T cell receptor of a T cell
steps of T cell
recognition phase
activation phase (clonal expansion)
effector phase
parts of effector phase of T cells
macrophage activation
B cell activation/antibody production
inflammation
memory T cells
T cell mediated Cytolysis
B cells develop in the
bone marrow
Bursa of Fabricius (in chickens)
what do B cells do
make antibodies
make memory cells (respond to second infection)
antigen receptor on surface is the antibody that Bcells will produce
BCR(antibody) only recognize 1 antigen (directly- free floating antigens)
B cells turn into
activated -clonal expassion
memory cell or plasma cell
plasma cells are
B cells that have differentiated into plasma cells that have increased cytoplasm and increased ER that is used to make antibodies
antibody production
what do antibodies do?
neutralization (block viral binding)
agglutination (clumps together)
precipitation of dissolved antigens
these steps will be identified by macrophages and be eaten
activation of complement system
leads to
cell lysis
antibodies will activate the complement system which leads to
cell lysis
adaptive immunity is mediated by
B cells and T cells
activated B cells make
antibodies (Humoral)
activated T cells make
cytokines/kills cells
(cellular)
unique antigen receptors
B cell receptors
T cell receptors
B cells recognize
“free” antigens
T cells recoginize
processed and MHC-presents antigen
Cytotoxic T cells
CD8
kill infected cells
Helper T cells
CD4
help shape the specific immune response
primary lymphoid organs
where B cells and T cells develop
B cells come from ___ and develop in ___
Fetal liver
bone marrow (pluripotent hematopoietic stem cells)
bone marrow
T cells come from ___ and mature in ____
fetal liver
bone marrow (pluripotent hematopoietic stem cells)
Thymus
Thymus
bilobed, mediastinal location anterior to the heart
stroma (support structure) is epithelial cells
lobes subdivided into lobules and are separated by trabeculae
the stroma of the thymus are
epithelial cells
the lobules of the thymus are separated by
trabeculae
in mature animals the thymus
involutes and shrinks- not completely
humans early 20s
each lobule of the thymus are broken into two regions:
cortex -dark stained
medulla- lighter
thymus is contained in ___
a capsule
what is number 5
trabeculae that separate each lobule of the thymus
what is 3
medulla (inner lighter area) of the thymus
What is 2
Cortex (outer region -darker)
What is 4
capsule of the thymus, which covers the entire thymus
structure in thymus that is surrounded by cell death
hassal’s corpuscle
thymic corpuscle
found in medulla of lobule of thymus
developing T cells are called ___ and are found in ____
thymocytes (double negative (DN) cells CD4- CD8-)
found in cortex (outer darker region of thymus)
