Q

What is found and occurs in the cortex of the thymus?

A

Densely populated with lymphocytes, occasional macrophages

Thymocytes mature to adult T cells then migrate to medulla

Q

What occurs in the medulla of the thymus?

A

Meet antigen presented to them, thymus selection occurs, survivors become functional T cells, go into circulation and move through secondary lymphoid tissues.

16
Q

What are high endothelial venues and what is their function?

A

Venules which allow the entery of naive cells into the lymph node to prevent them getting trapped in the afferent ducts

17
Q

Describe the path of lymphocyte recirculation from tissue to return to tissue

A

From the tissue lymphocytes drain into fluid into the afferent lymph to the lymph node, they then pass into the efferent lymph leaving the lymph node, and enter blood circulation via the thoracic duct which intern will lead back to tissue. While circulating lymphocytes may detour through the spleen of HEVs to return to lymphoid tissue

18
Q

What is a germinal centre?

A

A cluster of proliferating lymphocytes in response to antigen

19
Q

Why do lymph node enlarge?

A

When antigen in encountered lymphocytes activate and proliferate forming a germinal centre and causes the lymph node to enlarge

20
Q

What is the function of lymphatic fluid?

A

Drains and removes interstitial fluid, transports dietary lipids and facilitates immune responses by draining antigens from tissues and eventually the blood

21
Q

What is red pulp/white pulp in the spleen?

A

Red Pulp- Open sinusoids containing RBCs- reservoir

White Pulp- Contains mainly lymphocytes- compartmentalised into T/B segments

22
Q

What does PALS stand for?

A

Peri-arteriolar lymphatic sheath

23
Q

What creates the spleens framework and structure?

A

The continuous capsular connective tissue that forms the capsule and trabeculae

24
Q

What is PALs?

A

Splenic T cells which are closely associated with arteriolar blood vessels which form a cylindrical surrounding

25
Q

Where are B cells found in the spleen?

A

Within the primary/secondary follicles adjacent to PALs

26
Q

What surround the PALs and primary/secondary follicles in the spleen?

A

Marginal Zone

27
Q

What is MALT?

A

Mucosa associated lymphoid tissues

28
Q

What are examples of MALT?

A

GALT- gastrointestinal
BALT- bronchial
NALT- nasal
CALT- conjuntiva

29
Q

What comprises of a Peyer’s patch?

A

Uncapsulated lymphoid aggregate- comprising of a series of B cell follicles surrounded by intervening zone of T cells
