Pathology of the Hemopoietic System Pt 2 Flashcards
What cells are prominently found in the outer cortex follicles of lymph nodes?
Mostly B cells
What cells are prominently found on the inner cortex/ paracortex of lymph nodes?
Mostly T cells
What cells are found in the medulla of lymph nodes?
B cells and macrophages
What are the functions of lymph nodes?
- Filtration of lymph
- Immune response
What part of the lymph node is the first place you will find bacteria/ viruses that affect the lymph node?
Subscapular sunus
What is the inner most portion of the lymph node in most animals? The outter most?
Medulla is inner most, Cortex on outside
What is the inner most portion of the lymph node in pigs? The outter most?
Pigs: Have reverse order in anatomy of lymph node. Cortex on the inside medulla on outside.
What is the order of lymph circulation through the lymph node?
Afferent lymphatics → subcapsular sinuses → trabecular sinuses → medullary sinuses → efferent lymphatics → thoracic duct
What is indicated when seeing small lymph nodes ( reaction patterns indicate)?
What is indicated when seeing large lymph nodes ( reaction patterns indicate)?
What is the casue of lymphoid hyperplasia?
- Immunological reaction = response to antigen presentation or circulating interleukin levels
( local infection, vaccine, ect)
What happens when you have lymphoid hyperplasia? What is its pattern of distribution?
What is occuring in this image?
Please label the following:
What process is seen here?
If you have lymphoid hyperplasia what will you always see? ( Characteristic) Is lymphoid hyperplasia common?
Whenever you have lymphoid hyperplasia you will have a prominent germinal center. It is common.
What is a cause of infectious suppurative lymphadenitis?
Bacteria
FYI:
* Streptococcus equi ssp. equi (horse)
* Streptococcus porcinus (pig)
* Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis (sheep, goat)
* Trueperella pyogenes (cattle, sheep)
What are the causes of Granulomatous lymphandenitis?
- Bacterial
- Fungal
- Viral
FYI:
Bacterial: - Mycobacterium: Mycobacterium bovis, Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (ruminants),Rhodococcus equi (horse)
Viral: - Porcine circovirus 2, Feline infectious peritonitis
Fungal: - Blastomyces dermatitidis, Cryptococcus neoformans, Histoplasma capsulatum
What is seen in this image? what is the affected lymph node? what is the morphologic diagnosis? What is the etiologic agent? What is the name of the condition?
What is seen in this image?
Hematogenous dissemination of abscesses into organs its called bastard strangles.
What is bastards strangles?
Hematogenous dissemination of abscesses into organs its called bastard strangles.
What is seen in these images? What is the morphologic diagnosis? What is the likely etiologic agent?
What is onion skin referring to in regards to lymphandenitis?
One layer of pus, one layer of necrotic debris = onion skin
Refering to Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis
What is seen in this image? What is the morphologic diagnosis? What is the Etiologic agent?
What is this image of? Hint: 2 month old foal also affected by ulcerative enterocolitis
What is Rhodococcus Equi? What are the common affected animals? What are the 2 forms of the disease?
What are the primary neoplasias of lymph nodes?
What are the metastatic neoplasias affecting lymph nodes?
In this picture if a lymph node, what is abnormal here? What does it indicate?
Black pigment, is abnormal, so is elevated white patches, this indicates melenoma ( from the color)
METASTATIC ORAL MELENOMA of CANINE
What is indicated by a brownish discoloration observed in lymph nodes
draining areas of hemorrhage?
Hemosiderosis
What is hemosiderosis?
- Brownish discoloration observed in lymph nodes
draining areas of hemorrhage
What is anthracosis? What is the cause?
Where are cases of anthracosis more common?
Urban polluted areas
What is the term that describes macrophage contained carbon particles mainly in medullary cords of lymph nodes?
Anthracosis
What is seen in this image?
What are the structures of the spleen?
Red pulp and white pulp
In this section of spleen, what is considered your white pulp and what is considered your red pulp?
A white pulp
B red pulp
What is seen in this image?
The red and white pulp of the cut surface of the spleen. Purple= white pulp
Pink areas are the red pulp
What are the structures within the red pulp?
What is the function of the structures within the red pulp?
What are the structures of the white pulp?
What is the function of the structures within the white pulp of the spleen?0
What is the reaction pattern of the spleen with diffuse splenomegaly or a nodular spleen?
Both can be either meaty or nodular.
What are causes of diffuse splenomegally with bloody consistency ( bloody spleen)?
What is the cause of the changes to the spleen in this image?
