1 The Lymphatic & Immune Systems Thymus Spleen Lymph nodes Lymphatic vessel

2 Lymphatic Organs and Structures The Lymphatic and Immune System Lymphatic Organs and Structures Lymph A fluid containing: -water -sugars -white blood cells -protein Lymph Vessels Carry lymph within the lymphatic system Lymph capillaries are the smallest of the lymph vessels -waste -salts

3 Capillaries Capillaries have thin walls which allow fluid in body tissues to flow between the capillaries and tissues. Fluid in the spaces between tissues is called interstitial fluid Once the interstitial fluid flows into the lymph capillaries it is called lymph Lymphatic trunk Right lymphatic duct or thoracic duct Right subclavian vein (neck) Lymphatic vessel Lymphatic capillary Interstitial fluid Blood stream

4 Lymphatic Vessels Pulmonary capillary network Blood flow Systemic capillary network Lymphatic capillaries Lymph node Lymphatic vessels Lymph flow Lymph node Lymph flow Lymphatic capillaries

5 Lymph Nodes Specialized organs that produce lymphocytes Filter harmful substances from the tissues Contain macrophages that devour foreign substances Lymphocytes produce specialized proteins called antibodies that fight disease Antigens also fight disease by stimulating an immune response in other cells

6 Lymph Travels in only one direction Empties into the right thoracic duct and the lymphatic duct Lipids are transported from the small intestines to the blood stream by the lymph vessels Location of major groups of lymph nodes: -tonsils -mediastinum-groin -neck-adenoids-armpit

7 Organs of the Lymphatic System Spleen -largest lymphatic organ -located in upper left portion of the abdominal cavity -filters foreign material from the blood -destroys old red blood cells -activates lymphocytes Thymus Gland -soft gland with two lobes -larger during infancy and childhood -contains important cells called thymocytes (ex. T cells) -T cells (T lymphocytes provide immunity) -thymosin aids with T cell movement

8 Immune System Consists of a series of defenses against intruders, such as microorganisms Mechanical Defenses skin nasal cilia mucous membranes Chemical Defenses stomach gastric juices Other Barriers Phagocytosis The ingesting of foreign substances by specialized cells like macrophages

9 Types of Immunity Types of Immunity A natural resistance to certain diseases in which the extent varies from person to person Immunity provided in the form of antibodies or antitoxins that have been developed in another person or species Immunity that develops after having the disease or after being vaccinated against the disease Natural ImmunityAcquired Passive Immunity Acquired Active Immunity

10 Major Immunoglobulin Major Immunoglobulins Immunogobulin G (IgG) -effective against bacteria, viruses and toxins Immunoglobulin A (IgA) -common in exocrine gland secretions such as breast milk and tears Immunoglobulin M (IgM) -first antigen to be produced after an infection Immunoglobulin D (IgD) -important in B-cell activation Immunoglobulin E (IgE) -appears in glandular secretions and is associated with allergic reactions NOTE: This type of immunity is provided by plasma cells and is called humoral immunity.

11 Cell-mediated Immunity This type of immunity is provided by the action of the T-cells which multiply rapidly and produce certain proteins in response to antigens. Three Types of Specialized T-Cells Helper cells or CD4 cells that stimulate the immune response Cytotoxic cells or CD8 cells that help in the destruction of infected cells Suppressor cells or T cells that suppress B-cells and other immune cells

12 Combining Forms & Abbreviations (aden) Combining FormMeaning aden (o) immun (o) lymph (o) lymphaden (o) lymphangi (o) splen (o) thym (o) tox (o) gland immunity lymph lymph nodes lymphatic vessels spleen thymus poison

13 Combining Forms & Abbreviations (AIDS) Abbreviation Meaning AIDS ALL AML AZT CLL acquired immunodeficiency syndrome acute lymphocytic leukemia acute myelogenous leukemia azidothymidine chronic lymphocytic leukemia

14 Combining Forms & Abbreviations (CML) AbbreviationMeaning CML CMV EBV ELISA HIV HSV IgA chronic myelogenous leukemia cytomegalovirus Epstein-Barr virus enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay human immunodeficiency virus herpes simplex virus immunoglobulin A

15 Combining Forms & Abbreviations (IgD) AbbreviationMeaning IgD IgE IgG IgM PCP SLE ZDV immunoglobulin D immunoglobulin E immunoglobulin G immunoglobulin M pneumocystis carinii pneumonia systemic lupus erythematosus zidovudine

16 Diagnostic, Procedural & Laboratory Terms CAT Scans are used frequently to diagnose abnormalities of the lymph organs Blood tests that indicate the number and condition of the white blood cells are used in diagnosing lymph and immune system diseases

17 Pathological Terms Diseases of the lymph and immune system that flourish are those diseases which suppress the immune response. Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is the most widespread immunosuppresive disease. Opportunistic Malignancies and Infections Associated with AIDS candidiasis cytomegalovirus Kaposi’s sarcoma Mycobacterium avium- intracellulare (MAI) Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia

18 How is HIV Transmitted? How is HIV Transmitted? Contaminated needles During birth if the mother is infected Receiving infected blood or other tissue Sexual contact

19 How is HIV Not Transmitted? How is HIV NOT Transmitted? mosquitoesObjects like toilet seats, doorknobs etc. Casual contact like hugging and kissing Swimming in the same water as infected persons Sharing food

20 Pathological Terms Hodgkin’s Lymphoma A type of lymph cancer that appears in early adulthood and the cause or origin is uncertain Involves the lymph nodes and spleen Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma A type of cancer of the lymph nodes in which some of the cells resemble healthy cells Usually appears during mid-life Malignant cells resemble large lymphocytes NOTE: Depending on how far the disease has spread, both types can be arrested with chemotherapy and radiation.

21 Non-malignant Diseases Sarcoidosis Inflammatory condition that can affect lung functioning Infectious Mononucleosis Also called the kissing disease An acute infectious disease caused by the Epstein-Barr virus Swollen lymph nodes are a common symptom

22 Allergy Facts Allergies are a problem of the immune system that affect millions of people Allergy Facts Allergies are due to the production of the IgE antibodies against an allergen Hypersensitivity increases as exposure increases Anaphylaxis may occur which is life-threatening if the allergy is severe

23 Autoimmune Diseases Conditions in which the body’s immune system turns against its own healthy tissue An autoimmune response is the result of the T cells attacking their own healthy cells Examples lupus scleroderma rheumatoid arthritis

24 Surgical Terms Cancer of the lymph system may require a lymph-node dissection. Other Procedures lymphadenectomy -removal of a lymph node lymphadenotomy -incision into a lymph node splenectomy -removal of the spleen thymectomy -removal of the thymus gland

25 Pharmacological Terms Diseases of the lymph and immune systems often require high doses of chemotherapy and/or radiation for treatment. Other Medications antivirals used to treat AIDS by blocking viral growth antimicrorganism agent used to prevent PCP in AIDS patients antihistamines used to prevent or lessen allergic reactions

26 Apply Your knowledge Which of the following statements explains a major difference between lymph and blood? A. Lymph contains white blood cells and platelets. B. Lymph contains only white blood cells. C. Lymph contains only red blood cells and white blood cells.

27 Apply Your Knowledge Part 2 Sharon, age 5 is taken to the doctors for her complaint of a sore throat. Her pediatrician might find which of the following signs during his assessment of the lymphatic system? A. elevated temperature B. increased blood pressure C. swollen lymph nodes

28 Apply Your Knowledge Part 3 Andy has recently been diagnosed with HIV. He is concerned that some of his friends might catch the virus from him. Place the following examples in the correct box based on their ability to transmit HIV. Will Transmit HIV Will NOT Transmit HIV Examples: kissing, accidental needle stick, mosquitoes, toilet seats, sexual contact
