LYMPHATIC SYSTEM
COMPOSITION
Lymph Vessels: Overlapping Endothelial cells; larger in diameter than blood vessels; carry out interstitial fluid; interspersed through blood capillary network; no basement membrane; anchored by filaments
Causes movement: 1) hydrostatic pressure within interstitial space. 2) contraction of skeletal muscles 3) pulsatile of arteries
LOCATION:
LYMPH NODE: secondary lymphatic structure. Location: :axillary, inguinal, and cervical regions. Function: filter the lymph
RED BONE MARROW:* primary structure, LOCATION: spongy bone. FUNCTION: formation of all elements, maturation of B Cells
THYMUS: primary structure; Location: ( adults)superior mediastinum (children) superior and anterior to mediastinum. FUNCTION: T cells maturation and differentiation.
SPLEEN: secondary structure. LOCATION: left upper quadrant of abdomen. FUNCTION: filters, removes substances, reservoir
TONSIL: secondary structure, LOCATION: oral and pharynx, FUNCTION: protection
LYMPHATIC NODULES: secondary structure, LOCATION: everybody wall and appendix. FUNCTION: protection.
mucosa associated lymphatic tissue MALT: Secondary, LOCATION: GI, respiratory, urinary and reproductive tract. FUNCTION: protection of mucosal membranes against foreign substances.

CYTOKINES

FUNCTION:
1)communication beween cells
2) control the effects of immunity.
3) regulate inflammation response by innate,
4) destroys cells.
Similar to hormone it binds to a receptor, autocrine stimulation (same), paracrine stimulation local neighboring, cause systemic effects.

Lymphocytes
B cells HUMORAL IMMUNITY
•Maturation in the bone marrow
•outside the lymph node
•B cell receptor--> immunoglobin
• responds directly to antigen drained to the lymph node. - Plasma cells •make memory cells--> produce antibodies
-
-
After maturation Activation of Lymphocytes:
Secondary lymphatic structures. Lymph node, spleen, tonsils, and MALT. first exposure to antigen occurs here.
Lymphocytes begin to replicate.
Effector response
T lymphocytes leave the secondary structures migrate to the infected area.
B lymphocytes primary reside in the secondary structures replicating and releasing antibodies to infected area.

Immunity: initiated upon entry of foreign substance, forming lymphocytes and products secreted in body’s defense.
