Test 4: 6: bone marrow Flashcards
what are the primary lymphoid organs
thymus
bone marrow
bursa of fabricius
(make B and T cells)
secondary lymphoid organs
▪ Spleen ▪ Lymph nodes ▪ MALT ▪ Tonsils
how do T cells form
start in bone marrow, move to thymus (cortex to medulla), mature and selected into naive CD4 or CD8, go out into the periphery
T cells move into paracortical regions of LN and periarteriolar sheaths of spleen.
will mature into helper(CD4) or cytotoxic(CD8) T cells when presented with antien peptide attached to MHC
how do B cells form
start in bone marrow, move to follicle in secondary lymphoid organ, mature into plasma cells that make antibodies
- Ag-independent phase in primary lymphoid tissues (BM, ileal Peyer’s patches). Following this phase, B cells express IgM and IgD on surface that signifies a mature B cell.
- Ag-dependent phase in secondary lymphoid tissues (spleen, LN, tonsils, Peyer’s patches). In this phase, Ag-activated mature B cells differentiate into IgM-secreting plasma cells or switch to another antibody isotype.
B cells live in follicles of lymphnodes, spleen or GALT/MALT and can see soluable Ag
what causes atrophy of the lymphoid system
Immunodeficiency disorders
Viruses: Infectious agents: e.g. CDV, EHV-1, Feline panleukopenia virus, FIV, BVDV, Hog Cholera virus
Toxins: e.g. halogenated aromatic hydrocarbons, fumonisins, aflatoxin
Chemotherapeutic agents & Ionizing radiation: e.g. azathioprine, cyclosporine, corticosteroids
Malnutrition: mediated by the hormone leptin
Cachexia
Aging
what are two common neoplasma
Thyoma
Lymphoma
Thymoma grows — and is assocaited with — disease
slowly, rarely metastazise
Myasthenia gravis (Auto-antibodies to Ach receptors and blocks function)
exfoliative dermatitis- seen most often cats, also reported dog and ra
Myasthenia gravis is caused by autoantibodies to ACh receptor and is exacerbated by exercise, — and may lead to —
megaesophagus
aspiration pneumonia
common to have thymoma that causes this
Thymoma are derived from the — component with variable benign lymphocytic infiltration
epithelial
Lymphoma in cats is often associated with —
FELV +
young cats
what are some things that cause small/absent lymph nodes
- Developmental disorders (hypoplasia): primary immunodeficiency disease
- Lack of antigenic stimulation: SPF(lab) animals
- Malnutrition
- Age
- Viral Infections (CDV, BVD, etc.)
- Radiation
regional or generalized enlargement of lymphnode with unknown or unspecified cause
Lymphadenopathy
explain why reactive hyperplasia causes large lymph node
lymph node doing its job to fight infection
antigen enters lymphnode, interacts with T cell, T cell moves into follicle and triggers selection of B cells which eventually mature into plasma cells that release antibody into the blood
will see alot of cell types = normal function
enlarged lymph node shows
lymphoid hyperplasia
many cell types, lymph node doing its job making antibody to antigen
what caused the enlarged lymphnode
drainage, could be secondary to surgery
will cause enlarged lymph node, but not dangerous
can see widened subcapsular sinus filled with edema and lots of RBC
what causes lymphandenitis
lymph node tissue replaced by inflammatory cells (neutrophils ect)
acute: soft, red, edema
chronic: capsule, firm, painful
can be caused by bacteria, virus, fungu, protozoa
enlarged lymph node caused by
FIP lymphadenitis
enlarged lymphnode that ruptured is caused by what bacteria?
strangles
strep equi ssp equi
what causes casseous lymphadenitis
C. pseudotuberculosis
what kind of cancer spreads to lymphnodes
carcinomas (epithelial origin)
what kind of cancer, effects Bernese Mtn Dogs, Rotties and golden retrievers
histiocytic sarcoma
round cell tumor
interstitial dendritic cell origin
lymphoma, plasma cell, mast cell, histiocytic, TVT
localized Histiocytic Sarcoma are found
spleen, lymph node, lung, bone marrow, skin and subcutis especially of extremities
lymphoma, plasma cell, mast cell, histiocytic, TVT
disseminated histiocytic sarcoma is found
secondary sites are widespread, but consistently include liver and lung (with splenic primary), and hilar lymph node (with lung primary), other visceral sites and bone marrow
lymphoma, plasma cell, mast cell, histiocytic, TVT
what are some things that cause pigment in a lymph node
drainage of areas with hemosiderin (red blood cell breakdown)
melanin
tattoo
parasites
red pulp of the spleen does what
filters blood of foreign material, microorganisms and antigens
stores mature erythrocytes
preforms hematopoiesis
what does white pulp of spleen do?
T cells surround arterioles (periarteriolar lymphoid sheaths/PALS) will capture antigen and bring them to B cells inside lymphoid follicles
will mature into plasma cells that make antibodies or memory B cells
if you have big spleen that oozes blood when cut what three things:
Congestion
* Torsion: occurs in pigs and dogs (+/- GDV)
* Barbiturate euthanasia, anesthesia (dogs, horses)
Septicemia
→microbes transported to spleen→rapidly phagocytized by macrophages (e.g. Bacillus
anthracis). leads to hyperemia (increased blood flow)
Acute Hemolytic Anemias:
tries to remove broken RBC from circulation
big bloody spleen caused by
Congestion: torsion or barbiturate
septicemia
acute hemolytic anemia
what are some causes of large spleen with firm/meaty texture
chronic infection
chronic hemolytic anemia
diffuse granulomatous diease (mycobacterius, TB, Brucella)
Follicular lymphoid hyperplasia
Cancers: lympoma, mast cell, myeloma
storage diseases
extramedullary hematopoiesis: trigger signals to make new cells
enlarged spleen, meaty
lymphoma- cause pink color
type of round cell tumor: lymphoma, plasma, TVT, histiocytic, mast cell
other cancers: Lymphoma, mast cell tumor/mastocytosis, multiple myeloma, lymphoproliferative diseases
cat large spleen caused by
mast cell tumor
type of round cell tumor: lymphoma, mast, plasma, TVT, histiocytic
spleen of feret
Extramedullary hematopoiesis (EMH): hormonal or physiologic mechanisms signal synthesis of progenitor cells for systemic circulation; however, splenic EMH often incidental.
4 causes of nodular spleen with bloody consistency
