Module 5 Flashcards
What are the various types of transmission methods for disease?
Direct Conract
Airbotn
Vehicle
Vector-born
What does Vehicle transmission of a disease transmit through?
Formites
What is a Formite? What type of disease transmission is this associated with?
Vehicle Based Transmission
Formites - Transmission through a non-living, mediator Phone, ball, etc.… Touching the same thing that someone else did
NON LIVING
What is the difference between Vector Based and vehicle based transmission of disease
Vehicle Transmission (Formites Non-Living organism attachment)
Vector base - Needs a living organism
What are the 4 types of pathogens?
– Viruses– Bacteria– Fungi– Parasites
What is the difference between pathogens and toxins?
Pathogens- Microbes that cause disease
Toxins- Organic molecules, bacterial cells
What are the 3 main functions of the lymphatics?
Collect Large particles and tissue fluid
Transport fats from the digestive tract to the blood stream
Host Defense
The lymphatics main functions include Transport fats from the digestive tract to the blood stream how is this done?
In Chylomicrons
The thoracic duct for lymphatic drainage is what? and contains?
Larger and Longer!
BEGINS AS CISTERNA CHYLI
The Thoracic duct receives lymph from where? Through what major structure? and empties where?
Cisterna Chyli (L1/2)
Below Diaphragm
Left/ Arm, head
Neck, Thorax
Empties in to L Subclavian Vein
Cisterna Chyli receives lymph from?
R and L Lumbar trunks and intestinal trunk
The Right lymphatic duct receives lymph from? and drains?
Empties into R Subclavian vein
Right Arm, R side of head and thorax
The Right jugular trunk, subclavian trunk, and bronchomediastinal trunk give their lymph to where?
Right Lymphatic duct
The cervical lymph node cluster drains?
Head and Neck
The Hilar lymph node cluster drains?
Lungs
The Mediastinal lymph node cluster drains?
Trachea and esophaugus
The axillary lymph node cluster drains?
Upper limb, breast, skin above umbilicus
Celiac lymph node cluster drains?
Liver, stomach, spleen, pancreas, upper duodenum
The Superior mesenteric lymph node cluster drains?
Lower duodenum, jejunium, ileum, colon to splenic flexure
The Inferior Mesenteric lymph node cluster drains?

Skin below Umbilicus, scrotum, Vulva
The popliteal lymph node cluster drains?
Forsolateral foot, Posterior calf
The Right lymphatic duce trains?
Right side of the body above Diaphragm
What is the follicle? and what happens here
Site of B-cell Localization and proliferation
What is the responsibility of the paracortex of a lymph node?
House T-Cell, Contains High endothelial venules through which T &B Cells enter from the blood.
What happens to the paracortex during ?
Extreme cellular immune response
The spleen is what?
Site for immune surveillance and response
What does the spleen remove?
Debris, foreign matter, toxins, bacteria, viruses, old blood cells
What does the spleen Control?
Controls the level of white blood cells, red blood cells and platelets
What is the difference between IL1 and IL2
IL1- increase nonspecific resistance to infection and development of the immune response to foreign antigens.
IL2- immunoregulatory role; itpromotes the growth and development of peripheral immune cells
What is IL1?
IL1- increase nonspecific resistance to infection and development of the immune response to foreign antigens.
Compliment Fixation Occurs where?
Spleen
What is Compliment Fixation part of?
Innate Immune System
In the spleen where are the T Cells found?
Periarteriolar Lymphatic Sheath with white pulp
In the spleen where are the B Cells found?
Follicles within the White Pulp
What is the Marginal Zone in the spleen? what is here?
Zone between Red and White Pulp.
Contains Macrophages and specialized B cells
Where do Antigen presenting cells capture blood born antigens?
In the Marginal Zone of the spleen
What Will splenic dysfunction display (IG?Compliment activation? Mechanism?)
Decrease IGM
Decrease Compliment Activation
Decrease C3b Opsinoization
Increase suspetibility to encapulsated organism
Postsplenectomy ? Know the weird name shit
Howell-Jolly Bodies (Nuclear Reminants)
Thrombocytosis
Lymphocytosis
What are Howell-Jolly Bodies (Nuclear Remnants)?
Howell-Jolly bodies are often seen when there is loss of splenic function as in congenital asplenia, after surgical removal, or in autosplenectomy in sickle cell anemia.
Where do T Lymphocytes Mature and are produced?
T cells migrate from the bone marrow to the thymus where they mature and differentiate
into different types of T cells, such as CD8+ T cells and CD4+ T cells.
Where are B lymphocytes produced? And where do they mature?
B lymphocytes originate in the bone marrow
Mature: In Spleen?
What happens in the Thymus?
Site of maturation of T lymphocytes takes place
Secretes hormones (thymopoietin and thymosins)
Critical role in childhood
What is DiGeorge Syndrome?
NO THYMUS
In Myasthenia Gravis what happens to the Thymus?
Enlarged
What is the difference between Innate and Aquired immunity?
Innate–> NON-specific, Inflamation, acute, COMPLIMENT FIXATION
Aquired–> SPECIFIC, based on exposure, specificity based on Memory
A Broadly effective, no prior exposure immune response could be classified as ?
Nonspecific defenses (Innate System)
