Lymphoid & Integumentary System Flashcards
•Lymphatic +vascular system = hemilymphatic sys which a 2’dry defense
•Produces defensive cells like T lymphocytes, plasma cells, macrophages, etc
•Filters and transport lymph and blood
•Produce IG’s
•Phagocytize foreign bodies
LYMPHATIC SYSTEM
Cells located in the l. propria of digestive, respiratory and urogenitals
Diffuse and unencapsulated lymphatic tissue
Lymphocytic pop’ns
forming nodules-small, spheroidal or ovoid
aggregates
Dense unencapsulated lymphatic tissue
Composed of lymphocytes and
macrophages
Primary nodule/follicle
Collections of lympha. tissue in the small intestine
Peyer’s patch
Has pale germinal center surrounded by dark staining corona or cortex or
mantle zone of small lymphocytes=
active nodule
Secondary nodule
Aggregated lymph nodules in the pharyngeal
mucosa
Tonsils
Formed by by a single layer of
lymphatic tisue 2’drly protruding into the lumen
Palatine & Lingual tonsils in M,H,R,S
Tonsil with crypt
A group of tonsillar follicles
Tonsil without crypt
A blind sometimes branched invagination of the
surface epithelium
Crypt
A bean shaped which vary in size fr a mm to sev’rl cm
Lymph gland
Form the fine stromal elements
Reticular fibers
Divided into outer cortex and inner
medulla
Parenchyma
Divided into nodular, internodular and deep zones
Occupied by the nodular follicles=primary & secondary
Concentrate on the 1’ry nodules and germinal
centers
B cells
Occupy the paracortical zones
T cells
Result from the differentiation of B cells in the germinal centers that move into the periphery of
the nodules
Plasma cells
Cortical nodular fusion is
common in this animal
Horse
Nodules
have large germinal centers in this animal
Oxen
Consist of branching reticular fibers and cells surrounded by medullary sinuses and lymph
capillaries=medullary cords
Medulla
Stellate cells with fine network of interlacing processes that traps antigen for presentation
Dendritic cell
Specifically called interdigitating cell (IDC) and follicular dendritic cell respectively
T and B cells
• sinuses are filled with blood not
lymph
• Capsules and trabeculae contain
smooth muscle fibers
• Described as miniature of spleen but look like lymph node
• Occur in ruminants along the vertebral columns and jugular furrow
Hemal nodes
•Blood and lymph intermixes in the
sinuses thus called hemorrhagic
lymph node
•Occur in the perirenal (sheep &
goat) and lumbar regions (ox)
Hemolymph node
• largest mass of lymphatic tissue
• capsule is dense collagenous that
extends into the parenchyma
dividing it into small compartments
• Smooth muscles and elastic fibers
are present in the capsule and
trabeculae
Spleen
Distinct cortex and medulla is absent instead, scattered in the parenchyma – white and red pulp
• Contains splenic phagocytic sinuses and cords
• Regions between splenic corpuscles and
trabeculae, called so for its
vascularity
Red pulp
Few trabeculae and muscle fibers but
abundant lymphatic tissue ex. Human and marsupials
Defensive spleen
Many trabeculae & smooth muscle and less lymphatic tissue-ex.horse, dog & cat
Storage spleen
Occur in ruminants and swine
Intermediate spleen
•Derived from the 3rd & 4th paryngeal
pouches
•Parenchyma is divided into outer
cortex and deep medulla
•Parenchymal cells are chiefly of the T cells or thymocytes
•Capsule enclosing the organ is
composed of dense collagenous fibers that penetrate the parenchyma , dividing the organ into lobes
Thymus
