Flows one way toward the heart
Lymph
filter lymph in immune system; found in inguinal, axillary, and cervical vessels
lymph nodes
- very permeable to proteins and endothelial cells
- absent from bone, teeth, bone marrow, and CNS
- interstitial mucosa
lymphatic capillaries
- thin walls and internal valves
- travels with arteries and superficial veins
- slow movement
collecting vessels
- trunk formed by union of largest collecting ducts
- duct- lymph is delivered into one of two large ducts
trunks/ducts
contain T and B cells
lymphoid cells
lymphocytes
protect against antigens; main warriors of immune system
army- destroy/attack; immune response
T cells
become memory cells; produce plasma cells; can be cloned
B cells
activate T cells
macrophages
tattle tale cells; capture antigens and delivers to lymph nodes
dendritic cells
produce stroma
reticular cells
lymphoid follicles destroy bacteria; found in distal portion of small intestine
peyers patches
spleen
stores old rbcs and platelets; lymph proliferation; largest lymphoid organ; red and white pulp
lymphocytes involved in immune function
white pulp
macrophages for worn out RBCs
red pulp
- increases in size during childhood- stop during adolescents
- only T cells
- thymic corpuscles, medulla, cortex
thymus
keeps immature T cells isolated until needed
blood thymus barrier
simplest organ; forms a ring of lymph tissue @ pharynx
tonsils
posterior end of oral cavity
palantine
base of tongue
linguinal
adenoids; posterior wall of nasopharynx
pharyngeal
openings of auditory tubules
tubal
trap and destroy bacteria
tonsillar crypts
absorb digested fat; deliver lymph to blood
chyli
mucosa associated lymph tissue
MALT
BALT
bronchus associated lymph tissue
innate (nonspecific)
1st line: skin/ mucosal membrane
2nd line: antimicrobial proteins/ phagocytes inflammatory
adaptive (specific)
3rd line: attack particular substances/ immune
IgM
1st to peak during a primary immune response
IgA
protects mucosal barriers
IgE
involved in allergies
IgD
B cell receptor
IgG
main antibody of both primary and secondary immune response
intact membranes
1st line of defense
innate
inflammatory response and skin/mucous membranes
2nd line
inflammatory response
3d line
immune response
slows/stops immune response
Regulatory T cells
enables response to secondary exposure to antigens
memory cells
absence results in no immunity response
helper T cell
forms antibody producing cells
B cells
kills cancer cells and virus infected body cells
cytotoxic cells
antibodies block sites on viruses or bacterial exotoxins
neutralization
antigens that bind and cross link
agglutination
soluble molecules are linked and subjected to phagocytosis
precipitation
several antibodies bind close together triggering cell lysis
complement fixation
neutrophils flatten and squeeze out of capillaries
diapedesis
neutrophils cling to capillary walls
margination
neutrophils follow chemical trail
chemotaxis
neutrophils enter blood from bone marrow
leukocytosis
isolated clusters of lymph follicles- prevent bacteria from breaching intestinal wall. generate memory cells for intestinal wall antigens trying to breach it
peyers paatches
small organs associated w lymphatic vessels
lymph nodes
receives lymph from most of the body
thoracic duct
