Functions of Lymphatic System

• Drain fluid from around cells
• Absorb fat from intestines
• Circulate lymph
• Filter lymph
• Immunity

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

Inflammation

• Bodies response to tissue injury
• Classic signs
• Heat
• Redness
• Swelling
• Pain

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

Antigen-Presenting CellAPC

• 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

• HIV Virus
• Attacks and destroys Helper T Cells
• Depresses humoral and cellular immunity
