1
Lymphatic System and Immunity Human Anatomy and Physiology II Oklahoma City Community College Dennis Anderson
2
Fluid Leaves Capillary Cells Blood Blood Capillary
3
Capillaries
4
Functions of Lymphatic System Drain fluid from around cells Absorb fat from intestines Circulate lymph Filter lymph Immunity
5
Right Lymphatic Duct Thoracic Duct
6
Lymph Fluid of the lymphatic system Similar to blood plasma and interstitial fluid
7
Lymphatic Vessels Transport lymph Lymph is returned to the circulatory system at either the right or left subclavian veins
8
Lymph Nodes Filter lymph –Microorganisms –Cancer cells Lymphocytes Monocytes
9
Thymus Programs some lymphocytes to develop into T-cells
10
Spleen Filters blood –Worn out RBC –Bacteria Lymphocytes Monocytes
11
Fluid Movement
12
Edema Accumulation of interstitial fluid
13
Causes of Edema Blockage of lymphatic system Increased pressure in veins Lack of albumin –Decreases fluid returning to blood capillaries by osmosis Inflammation
14
Nonspecific Body Defenses Skin Acid –Stomach –Vagina Mucus Saliva Tears
15
More Nonspecific Defenses Phagocytosis Complement Fever Inflammation
16
Complement
17
Inflammation Bodies response to tissue injury Classic signs –Heat –Redness –Swelling –Pain
18
Skin Blood
19
Tissue Damaged
20
Histamine Released
21
Capillary More Permeable Plasma Leaks Out
22
Capillary More Permeable Antibodies Leaks Out
23
Capillary More Permeable WBCs Leave by Diapedesis
24
Wall of Fibrin Forms
25
Pus Forms
26
Steroid Hormones Hydrocortisone, cortisone and others Depress inflammation Used to treat inflammatory diseases –Rheumatoid arthritis
27
Antigens Molecules often found in the membrane of cells Antigens of foreign cells stimulate an immune response
28
Self Antigens Antigens of our own cells Do not cause an immune response in our body –Usually cause an immune response in another person MHC proteins –Major Histocompatibility Complex
29
Cells of the Immune System APCs –Antigen-presenting cells B cells –B lymphocytes T cells –T lymphocytes
30
Antigen-Presenting Cells Macrophages Engulf foreign cells and attach the cells antigens on their MHC proteins
31
Lymphocytes T Cells B Cells
32
B Cell Receptor Foreign Cell
34
Cytotoxic T Cell = Killer T Cell Receptor Body Cell
36
Helper T Cell Receptor APC
39
Antigen-Presenting Cell APC Macrophages and other cells Engulfs and digests foreign cells Present antigens on MHC proteins to T cells
40
B Cells Lymphocytes that react directly with antigens Require stimulation from Helper T Cells Offspring become –Plasma cells –Memory B cells Humoral Immunity
41
Plasma Cells Produce huge numbers of antibodies –2000/second
42
Helper T Cell Reacts with antigen from APC Stimulates Cytotoxic T Cells and B Cells –Secretes Interleukin II
43
Cytotoxic T Cells Activated by antigens on any body cell Require stimulation from Helper T Cells Destroys body cells infected with viruses Destroys cancer cells Cellular Immunity
44
Memory Cells T Cells and B Cells Remember antigen React to a second invasion of an antigen more rapidly
45
Suppressor T Cells Stops T cells and B cells after an infection has been conquered
46
Cytokines Chemicals used in cellular immunity Interleukin I –Produced by macrophages –Stimulates helper T cells Interleukin II –Produced by helper T cells Perforin –Causes lysis of target cell
52
Virus Protein Coat DNA or RNA
53
Virus Attaches to Body Cell
54
Viral DNA Enters Host
55
Protein Coats Synthesized
56
Viral DNA Synthesized
57
Viruses Exit Cell
58
Host Cell Killed by Virus
59
Interferon Produced by Dying Cell
60
Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome HIV Virus Attacks and destroys Helper T Cells –Depresses humoral and cellular immunity
61
The End
