Chapter 13 The Lymphatic System and Immunity THE LYMPHATIC SYSTEM (FIGURE 13-1) Lymph—fluid in the tissue spaces that carries protein molecules and other substances back to the blood Lymphatic vessels—permit only one-way movement of lymph Lymphatic capillaries—tiny blind-ended tubes distributed in tissue spaces (Figure 13-2) • Microscopic in size • Sheets consisting of one cell layer of simple squamous epithelium • Poor “fit” between adjacent cells results in porous walls • Called lacteals in the intestinal wall (fat transportation from food to bloodstream) Right lymphatic duct (Figure 13-3) • Drains lymph from the right upper extremity and right side of head, neck, and upper torso Thoracic duct • Largest lymphatic vessel • Has an enlarged pouch along its course, called cisterna chyli • Drains lymph from about three-fourths of the body (Figure 13-3) Elsevier items and derived items © 2008, 2004 by Mosby, Inc., an affiliate of Elsevier Inc.

Slide 5 THE LYMPHATIC SYSTEM Lymph nodes Filter lymph (Figure 13-4) Located in clusters along the pathway of lymphatic vessels (Figures 13-1, 13-5, and 136) Functions include defense and WBC formation Flow of lymph: to node via several afferent lymph vessels and drained from node by a single efferent lymph vessel Elsevier items and derived items © 2008, 2004 by Mosby, Inc., an affiliate of Elsevier Inc.

Slide 10 THE LYMPHATIC SYSTEM Thymus Lymphoid tissue organ located in mediastinum Total weight of 35 to 40 g—a little more than an ounce Plays a vital and central role in immunity Produces T-lymphocytes, or T cells Secretes hormones called thymosins Lymphoid tissue is largely replaced by fat in the process called involution Elsevier items and derived items © 2008, 2004 by Mosby, Inc., an affiliate of Elsevier Inc. Slide 11 THE LYMPHATIC SYSTEM Tonsils (Figure 13-7) Composed of three masses of lymphoid tissue around the openings of the mouth and throat • Palatine tonsils (“the tonsils”) • Pharyngeal tonsils (also known as adenoids) • Lingual tonsils Subject to chronic infection Enlargement of pharyngeal tonsils may impair breathing Elsevier items and derived items © 2008, 2004 by Mosby, Inc., an affiliate of Elsevier Inc. Slide 12 Elsevier items and derived items © 2008, 2004 by Mosby, Inc., an affiliate of Elsevier Inc. Slide 13 THE LYMPHATIC SYSTEM Spleen Largest lymphoid organ in body Located in upper left quadrant of abdomen Often injured by trauma to abdomen Surgical removal called splenectomy Functions include phagocytosis of bacteria and old RBCs; acts as a blood reservoir Elsevier items and derived items © 2008, 2004 by Mosby, Inc., an affiliate of Elsevier Inc. Slide 14 THE IMMUNE SYSTEM (TABLE 13-1) Protects body from pathological bacteria, foreign tissue cells, and cancerous cells Made up of specialized cells and molecules Nonspecific immunity Also called innate immunity because it does not require prior exposure to an antigen Skin—mechanical barrier to bacteria and other harmful agents Tears and mucus—wash eyes and trap and kill bacteria Inflammation—attracts immune cells to site of injury, increases local blood flow, increases vascular permeability; promotes movement of WBCs to site of injury or infection (Figure 13-8) Elsevier items and derived items © 2008, 2004 by Mosby, Inc., an affiliate of Elsevier Inc. Slide 15 Elsevier items and derived items © 2008, 2004 by Mosby, Inc., an affiliate of Elsevier Inc. Slide 16 THE IMMUNE SYSTEM Specific immunity Also called adaptive immunity because of the ability of the body to recognize, respond to, and remember harmful substances or bacteria Types of specific immunity • Natural immunity—exposure to causative agent is not deliberate Active—active disease produces immunity Passive—immunity passes from mother to fetus through placenta or from mother to child through mother’s milk • Artificial immunity—exposure to causative agent is deliberate Active—vaccination results in immunity Passive—protective material developed in another individual’s immune system and given to previously nonimmune individual Elsevier items and derived items © 2008, 2004 by Mosby, Inc., an affiliate of Elsevier Inc. Slide 17 IMMUNE SYSTEM MOLECULES Antibodies Protein compounds with specific combining sites Combining sites attach antibodies to specific antigens (foreign proteins), forming an antigen-antibody complex—called humoral, or antibody-mediated, immunity (Figure 13-9) Antigen-antibody complexes may: • Neutralize toxins • Clump or agglutinate enemy cells • Promote phagocytosis Elsevier items and derived items © 2008, 2004 by Mosby, Inc., an affiliate of Elsevier Inc. Slide 18 Elsevier items and derived items © 2008, 2004 by Mosby, Inc., an affiliate of Elsevier Inc. Slide 19 IMMUNE SYSTEM MOLECULES Complement proteins Group of proteins normally present in blood in inactive state Complement cascade • Important mechanism of action for antibodies • Causes cell lysis by permitting entry of water through a defect created in the plasma membrane (Figure 13-10) Also perform other functions (examples: attracting immune cells to a site of infection, activating immune cells, marking foreign cells for destruction, increasing permeability of blood vessels) Elsevier items and derived items © 2008, 2004 by Mosby, Inc., an affiliate of Elsevier Inc.

Slide 21 IMMUNE SYSTEM CELLS Phagocytes—ingest and destroy foreign cells or other harmful substances via phagocytosis (Figure 13-11) Types • Neutrophils • Monocytes • Macrophages Kupffer cells (liver) Dust cells (lung) Elsevier items and derived items © 2008, 2004 by Mosby, Inc., an affiliate of Elsevier Inc. Slide 22 Elsevier items and derived items © 2008, 2004 by Mosby, Inc., an affiliate of Elsevier Inc. Slide 23 IMMUNE SYSTEM CELLS Lymphocytes Most numerous of immune system cells Development of B cells—primitive stem cells migrate from bone marrow and go through two stages of development (Figure 13-12) • First stage—stem cells develop into immature B cells; takes place in the liver and bone marrow before birth and in the bone marrow only in adults; immature B cells are small lymphocytes with antibody molecules (which they have synthesized) in their plasma membranes; migrate chiefly to lymph nodes • Second stage—immature B cell develops into activated B cell; initiated by immature B cell’s contact with antigens, which bind to its surface antibodies; activated B cell, by dividing repeatedly, forms two clones of cells—plasma cells and memory cells— plasma cells secrete antibodies into blood; memory cells stored in lymph nodes; if subsequent exposure to antigen that activated B cell occurs, memory cells become plasma cells and secrete antibodies Elsevier items and derived items © 2008, 2004 by Mosby, Inc., an affiliate of Elsevier Inc. Slide 24 Elsevier items and derived items © 2008, 2004 by Mosby, Inc., an affiliate of Elsevier Inc. Slide 25 IMMUNE SYSTEM CELLS Lymphocytes (cont.) Function of B cells—indirectly, B cells produce humoral immunity; activated B cells develop into plasma cells; plasma cells secrete antibodies into the blood; circulating antibodies produce humoral immunity (Figure 13-12) Development of T cells—stem cells from bone marrow migrate to thymus gland (Figure 13-13) • Stage 1—stem cells develop into T cells; occurs in thymus during few months before and after birth; T cells migrate chiefly to lymph nodes • Stage 2—T cells develop into sensitized T cells; occurs when, and if, antigen binds to T cell’s surface proteins Functions of T cells—produce cell-mediated immunity; kill invading cells by releasing a substance that poisons cells and also by releasing chemicals that attract and activate macrophages to kill cells by phagocytosis (Figures 13-14 and 13-15) Elsevier items and derived items © 2008, 2004 by Mosby, Inc., an affiliate of Elsevier Inc.
