Describe the flow of lymph through lymphatic vessels

A

  2. Lymph flows through a number of sinuses inside of the node
  3. Lymph exits through efferent lymphatic vessels
  4. Because there are fewer efferent than afferent vessels, flow is slowed. (Slow flow helps screen for pathogens)

Q

Most important disorders of the immune system

A
  1. Allergies
  2. Autoimmune diseases
    3.Immunodeficiencies
159
Q

Hypersensitivities,
Abnormal, vigorous immune responses. Immune system overreacts to a harmless antigen

A

Allergies, tissue damage occurs

160
Q

Immediate (acute allergies) cause

A

IgE antibodies and histamine

161
Q

Hives and anaphylaxis are symptoms of

A

Immediate acute hypersensitivity

162
Q

What kind of allergy is anaphylactic shock (Systemic)?

A

Acute allergic response

163
Q

Delayed hypersensitivity

A

Reflects activity of T cells, macrophages, cytokines

164
Q

Symptoms appear 1-3 days after coming in contact with the antigen

A

Delayed hypersensitivity

165
Q

Allergic contact dermatitis (poison ivy, cosmetics) is caused by

A

Delayed hypersensitivity

166
Q

Allergy mechanism

A
  1. Antigen invades body
    2.Plasma cells produce large amounts of class IgE antibodies against allergen
    3.IgE antibodies attach to mast cells in body tissues (and to circulating basophils).

4.More of same allergen invades body

5.Allergen binding to IgE on mast cells triggers release of histamine and other chemicals
6. Histamine causes blood vessels to dilate and become leaky, which promotes edema, large amounts of mucus, smooth muscles contract

167
Q

Autoimmune diseases occur when

A

Occurs when body’s self tolerance breaks down

168
Q

Body produces auto antibodies and sensitized T lymphocytes that attack its own tissues

A

Auto immune diseases

169
Q

The body produces autoantibodies and sensitized lymphocytes that attack its own tissues

A

Autoimmune diseases

170
Q

Body produces Auto antibodies and sensitized T lymphocytes that attack its own tissues

A

Autoimmune disease

171
Q

Most autoimmune diseases result from

A

1.Formerly hidden self antigens
2. Changes in structure of self antigens
3.antibodies formed against foreign antigens that resemble self antigens

172
Q

Rheumatoid arthritis
Myasthenia gravis
Multiple sclerosis
Graves disease

A

Autoimmune disorder examples

173
Q

Rheumatoid arthritis

A

Destroys joints

174
Q

Myasthenia gravis

A

Impairs communication between nerves and skeletal muscles

175
Q

Multiple sclerosis

A

White matter of brain and spinal cord is destroyed

176
Q

Graves disease

A

Thyroid gland produces excess thyroxine

177
Q

Destroys pancreatic beta cells, deficient insulin production

A

Type I diabetes mellitus

178
Q

Systemic Lupus erythematous (SLE)

A

Affects kidney, heart, lungs and skin

179
Q

Glomerulonephritis

A

Severe impairment of kidney function due to acute inflammation

180

Types of immunodeficiencies

A

Congenital or acquired

181
Q

SCID severe combined immunodeficiency disease is a type of

A

Congenital disease

Can be present at birth, children have very little immune function

182
Q

AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome,) is caused by

A

Virus that attacks and cripples helper T cells

183
Q

Immunodeficiencies result from

A

Abnormalities in any immune element

184
Q

Production or function of immune cells or complement is

185
Q

Proteins secreted by activated B cells

A

Antibodies

186
Q

Formed in response to large number of antigens

A

Antibodies
