Bacterial infection: At first: phagocytes, histamine release, inflammatory response Inflammation brings phagocytes, plasma proteins (complement system, clotting proteins) Bacteria antigen stimulates helper T cells, B cells get activated: antibodies Bacteria get labeled w/antibodies, killed by complement, macrophages, killer cells. This slide is just another way to organize things for immune response to help study. I won’t use in lecture Combining non-specific and adaptive immune response
2
Viral infection: Virus inside body cells do not trigger macrophages, B-cells, or complement. Virus-infected or cancerous cells release interferon, signaling neighboring cells and attracting natural killer cells, macrophages, complement. Virus ‘out in the open’ can be attacked. Antigen-self combination triggers T-helpers, which help stimulate killer T cells (takes days) and attract macrophages to the area. This slide is just another way to organize things for immune response to help study. I won’t use in lecture Combining non-specific and adaptive immune response
3
Systemic anaphylaxis- when large amounts of histamine and inflammatory signals are released all at once to blood. Widespread dilation - hypotension. Airway constriction. Victim can die within minutes. Often due to penicillin, bee venom. Anaphylactic shock
4
Skin: Besides IgE response, can be a T-cell response to substance (ex: urushiol oil) Airway: besides histamine, leukotrienes are released – airway constricted Gut: traditional food allergies are IgE ( egg, milk, wheat, nuts, shellfish, etc.) Histamine dilation, leukotriene constriction. Some are T-cell allergies w/delayed effects ( gluten, milk ). Does the immune system react differently for different allergies?
5
They generally reduce the histamine signal They can be bronchodilators, reduce leukotrienes, decongestants (constrict capillaries), injectable epinephrine, anti IgE Corticosteroids inhibit expression of cytokines and other signals of inflammation What do allergy medications do beside reduce inflammation?
6
Tolerance of substances develops early via clonal deletion of specific lymphocytes Central tolerance: B and T cells that respond to self- antigen are destroyed Error can result in autoimmune disease Peripheral tolerance: regulatory cells inhibit response to environmental antigens Error can result in allergies Allergies can have late onset, even in adulthood Development of ‘tolerance’
7
Hygiene hypothesis Recent study: Exposing ‘high-risk’ infants to peanuts reduced later allergies by 80% Keeping a child’s environment ‘too clean’ may prevent proper development of immune system
8
Immune system wrongly attacks body cells, often caused by production of autoantibodies Rheumatoid arthritis – autoantibodies attach to joints and induce inflammation & attack by complement, and WBCs What are autoimmune diseases?
9
A few immune related disorders: Diabetes Type I Crohn’s Disease Multiple Sclerosis Pernicious anemia Addison’s disease Lupus
10
AI diseases often have an environmental trigger, those with certain genotypes can be more susceptible to it A trigger can be an infection w/antigen that is molecularly similar to markers on body cells Possible environmental agents: silica, mercury, nitrates in drinking water, groundwater pollutants, drugs, many other chemicals… Why do autoimmune diseases begin?
11
A problem with apoptosis causes formation of autoantibodies Apoptotic cells aren’t removed normally, they instead degrade, proteins left are engulfed by cells that present antigen. Autoantibodies created against these proteins. Question: Lupus
12
Vitamin D – helps trigger T cell response Zinc – if early in infection Sleep Diet Exercise How can I boost my immune system?
13
Respiratory system External vs. cellular respiration
14
Respiratory system Bronchioles can dilate and constrict Airway: from nasal passages down to trachea, bronchioles and alveoli. The trachea and bronchi are reinforced with cartilage Larynx (voicebox) has vocal cords
15
bronchioles Alveolus Smooth muscle Pulmonarycapillaries Respiratory system
16
chest cavity
17
Lung wall Transmural pressure gradient lungs will always expand to fill pleural cavity Pleural cavity Lungs Chest wall
18
If lung pressure is less than atmospheric pressure, air enters the lungs. Increasing cavity volume, air enters
19
Inspiration and expiration: how we change chest volume
20
Puncture wound in chest wall 760 Pneumothorax: How a lung can ‘collapse’ 756 760
21
F = P R Major determinant of resistance is radius of bronchioles Disease can increase resistance (asthma, bronchitis) What determines airflow? same equation as blood flow!
22
Surface tension – whenever water layer meets air – water molecules are attracted to each other. Surface tension along the lining of alveoli resists expansion of alveoli. Surfactant reduces surface tension. Surface tension at alveoli
23
Air is a mixture of gases Nitrogen is 79% of air. Its partial pressure: 0.79 x 760 = 600.4 Gas exchange and partial pressure gradients AlveoliCapillaries P O2 100 40 P CO2 40 46
24
Most O 2 is carried by Hb - some is dissolved in plasma and determines partial pressure Hb saturation is high where P O2 is high (lungs). Saturation remains high even P O2 is 60 Small decrease in P O2 makes Hb unload much more O 2 Hemoglobin saturation Oxygen saturation curve
25
Increase in CO 2 from tissue shifts the saturation curve to the right Increased acidity (H +, carbonic acid) and temperature has the same effect - Bohr effect Shifting the curve
26
Most O 2 carried on hemoglobin A teensy bit of O 2 is dissolved in plasma
27
Carotid and aortic bodies send info to the medulla P O2 and P CO2 and H + can be detected O 2 saturation is not detected Chemoreceptors sense O 2 dissolved in blood
28
Measures airflow and volume of inspiration and expiration Spirometry
29
Aids homeostasis by removing cellular wastes and foreign compounds, and maintains salt and water balance of plasma Urinary system
30
Kidney anatomy Renal cortex Renal medulla Renal pelvis Ureter Medulla Cortex
31
Nephrons Each kidney has about one million nephrons Afferent arteriole brings blood to glomerulus and then forms efferent arteriole. Efferent arteriole branches to peritubular capillaries
32
Let’s make the filtrate... Blood is filtered at the glomerulus. Water and solutes leave the blood and enter Bowman’s capsule.
33
Glomerulus physiology Bowman’s capsule contains podocytes that encircle the glomerulus. Normally blood cells and plasma proteins are not filtered.
34
Glomerular filtration Glomerular filtration is similar to ultrafiltration of capillaries 20% of plasma becomes filtrate Capillary blood pressure Osmotic pressure Hydrostatic pressure 55 30 15 Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) determined by: Net filtration pressure and glomerulus permeability
35
Adjusting GFR Blood pressure Radius of afferent arteriole Decreasing GFR helps retain fluid and salts
36
Filtrate is adjusted along the nephron Distal tubule Bowman’s capsule Proximal tubule Loop of Henle Cortex region Medulla region Juxtaglomerular apparatus - helps in adjustments to filtration rate
38
180 liters per day are filtered, most is reabsorbed Reabsorption: filtered substances leave the nephron and enter peritubular capillaries Secretion: some substances from the peritubular capillaries enter the nephron Tubular reabsorption and secretion
39
Everything in the nephron that does not get reabsorbed into the blood leaves as ….urine!!! So what is urine, then?
40
Reabsorption physiology
41
Reabsorption of Na + (the key to it all…)
42
Na + reabsorption (RA) drives the movement of many other substances in the tubule Water will “follow” Na + movement Na + reabsorption
