1. Essentials of Human Anatomy & Physiology Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Slides 12.23 – 12.52 Seventh Edition Elaine N. Marieb Chapter 12 The Lymphatic System and Body Defenses Lecture Slides in PowerPoint by Jerry L. Cook

2. Fever Slide 12.23 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Abnormally high body temperature  Hypothalmus heat regulation can be reset by pyrogens (secreted by white blood cells)  High temperatures inhibit the release of iron and zinc from liver and spleen needed by bacteria  Fever also increases the speed of tissue repair

3. Specific Defense: The Immune System – Third Line of Defense Slide 12.24 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Antigen specific – recognizes and acts against particular foreign substances  Systemic – not restricted to the initial infection site  Has memory – recognizes and mounts a stronger attack on previously encountered pathogens

4. Types of Immunity Slide 12.25 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Humoral immunity  Antibody-mediated immunity  Cells produce chemicals for defense  Cellular immunity  Cell-mediated immunity  Cells target virus infected cells

5. Antigens (Nonself) Slide 12.26 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Any substance capable of exciting the immune system and provoking an immune response  Examples of common antigens  Foreign proteins  Nucleic acids  Large carbohydrates  Some lipids  Pollen grains  Microorganisms

6. Self-Antigens Slide 12.27 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Human cells have many surface proteins  Our immune cells do not attack our own proteins  Our cells in another person’s body can trigger an immune response because they are foreign  Restricts donors for transplants

7. Allergies Slide 12.28 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Many small molecules (called haptens or incomplete antigens) are not antigenic, but link up with our own proteins  The immune system may recognize and respond to a protein-hapten combination  The immune response is harmful rather than protective because it attacks our own cells

8. Cells of the Immune System Slide 12.29 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Lymphocytes  Originate from hemocytoblasts in the red bone marrow  B lymphocytes become immunocompetent in the bone marrow  T lymphocytes become immunocompetent in the thymus  Macrophages  Arise from monocytes  Become widely distributed in lymphoid organs

9. Activation of Lymphocytes Slide 12.30 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Figure 12.9

10. Humoral (Antibody-Mediated) Immune Response Slide 12.31a Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  B lymphocytes with specific receptors bind to a specific antigen  The binding event activates the lymphocyte to undergo clonal selection  A large number of clones are produced (primary humoral response)

11. Humoral (Antibody Mediated) Immune Response Slide 12.31b Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Most B cells become plasma cells  Produce antibodies to destroy antigens  Activity lasts for four or five days  Some B cells become long-lived memory cells (secondary humoral response)

12. Humoral Immune Response Slide 12.32 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Figure 12.10

13. Secondary Response Slide 12.33 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Memory cells are long-lived  A second exposure causes a rapid response  The secondary response is stronger and longer lasting Figure 12.11

14. Active Immunity Slide 12.34 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Your B cells encounter antigens and produce antibodies  Active immunity can be naturally or artificially acquired Figure 12.12

15. Passive Immunity Slide 12.35 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Antibodies are obtained from someone else  Conferred naturally from a mother to her fetus  Conferred artificially from immune serum or gamma globulin  Immunological memory does not occur  Protection provided by “borrowed antibodies”

16. Monoclonal Antibodies Slide 12.36 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Antibodies prepared for clinical testing or diagnostic services  Produced from descendents of a single cell line  Examples of uses for monoclonal antibodies  Diagnosis of pregnancy  Treatment after exposure to hepatitis and rabies

17. Antibodies (Immunoglobulins) (Igs) Slide 12.37 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Soluble proteins secreted by B cells (plasma cells)  Carried in blood plasma  Capable of binding specifically to an antigen

18. Antibody Structure Slide 12.38a Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Four amino acid chains linked by disulfide bonds  Two identical amino acid chains are linked to form a heavy chain Figure 12.13b

19. Antibody Structure Slide 12.38b Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  The other two identical chains are light chains  Specific antigen- binding sites are present Figure 12.13b

20. Antibody Classes Slide 12.39 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Antibodies of each class have slightly different roles  Five major immunoglobulin classes  IgM – can fix complement  IgA – found mainly in mucus  IgD – important in activation of B cell  IgG – can cross the placental barrier  IgE – involved in allergies

21. Antibody Function Slide 12.40 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Antibodies inactivate antigens in a number of ways  Complement fixation  Neutralization  Agglutination  Precipitation

22. Antibody Function Slide 12.41 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Figure 12.14

23. Cellular (Cell-Mediated) Immune Response Slide 12.42 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Antigens must be presented by macrophages to an immunocompetent T cell (antigen presentation)  T cells must recognize nonself and self (double recognition)  After antigen binding, clones form as with B cells, but different classes of cells are produced

24. Cellular (Cell-Mediated) Immune Response Slide 12.43 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Figure 12.15

25. T Cell Clones Slide 12.44a Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Cytotoxic T cells  Specialize in killing infected cells  Insert a toxic chemical (perforin)  Helper T cells  Recruit other cells to fight the invaders  Interact directly with B cells

26. T Cell Clones Slide 12.44b Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Suppressor T cells  Release chemicals to suppress the activity of T and B cells  Stop the immune response to prevent uncontrolled activity  A few members of each clone are memory cells

27. Summary of the Immune Response Slide 12.45 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Figure 12.16

28. Organ Transplants and Rejection Slide 12.46a Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Major types of grafts  Autografts – tissue transplanted from one site to another on the same person  Isografts – tissue grafts from an identical person (identical twin)  Allografts – tissue taken from an unrelated person  Xenografts – tissue taken from a different animal species

29. Organ Transplants and Rejection Slide 12.46b Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Autografts and isografts are ideal donors  Xenografts are never successful  Allografts are more successful with a closer tissue match

30. Disorders of Immunity: Allergies (Hypersensitivity) Slide 12.47a Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Abnormal, vigorous immune responses  Types of allergies  Immediate hypersensitivity  Triggered by release of histamine from IgE binding to mast cells  Reactions begin within seconds of contact with allergen  Anaphylactic shock – dangerous, systemic response

31. Disorders of Immunity: Allergies (Hypersensitivity) Slide 12.47b Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Types of allergies (continued)  Delayed hypersensitivity  Triggered by the release of lymphokines from activated helper T cells  Symptoms usually appear 1–3 days after contact with antigen

32. Allergy Mechanisms Slide 12.48 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Figure 12.17

33. Disorders of Immunity: Immunodeficiencies Slide 12.49 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Production or function of immune cells or complement is abnormal  May be congenital or acquired  Includes AIDS – Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome

34. Disorders of Immunity: Autoimmune Diseases Slide 12.50a Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  The immune system does not distinguish between self and nonself  The body produces antibodies and sensitized T lymphocytes that attack its own tissues

35. Disorders of Immunity: Autoimmune Diseases Slide 12.50b Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Examples of autoimmune diseases  Multiple sclerosis – white matter of brain and spinal cord are destroyed  Myasthenia gravis – impairs communication between nerves and skeletal muscles  Juvenile diabetes – destroys pancreatic beta cells that produce insulin  Rheumatoid arthritis – destroys joints

36. Disorders of Immunity: Autoimmune Diseases Slide 12.50c Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Examples of autoimmune diseases (continued)  Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) – affects kidney, heart, lung and skin  Glomerulonephritis – impairment of renal function

37. Self Tolerance Breakdown Slide 12.51a Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Inefficient lymphocyte programming  Appearance of self-proteins in the circulation that have not been exposed to the immune system  Eggs  Sperm  Eye lens

38. Self Tolerance Breakdown Slide 12.51b Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Cross-reaction of antibodies produced against foreign antigens with self- antigens  Rheumatic fever

39. Developmental Aspects of the Lymphatic System and Body Defenses Slide 12.52 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Except for thymus and spleen, the lymphoid organs are poorly developed before birth  A newborn has no functioning lymphocytes at birth; only passive immunity from the mother  If lymphatics are removed or lost, severe edema results, but vessels grow back in time
