Lymphatic and Immune System
Major Functions
Maintains Fluid homeostasis
Forms the body's immune system to attack foreign bacteria
Anatomy of the Lymphatic system
Nodes
Cervical Lymph node
Axillary Lymph Nodes
Thoracic
Lumbar
Iliac
Mesenteric
Inguinal
Lumbar
MALT
"Mucosa-associated Lymphoid Tissue"
Vessels
Lymphatic Ducts
Right vessels
Thoracic vessel
cisterna chyli
Enlarged Sac
Thymus
Spleen
Defenses
Adaptive
Slower response
Activated in Immune organ
recognize proteins specific to threat
Needs help to detect pathogens
make tools to target the specific bacteria
Innate
Immediate response
Patrol site of infection
Recognize common danger signals
Detects pathogens with no help
is able to quickly fight the infection
Responses
Cellular
Involves T-Cell recognition of abnormal antigens on the surface of host cells and the killing of infected cells
Humoral
Involves b-cell production of Antibodies binding antigens resulting in:
1) Neutralization
2)Lysis
3) Phagocytosis and destruction
Antigens
Induces an immune response in the body to get rid of Foreign intruders
Antibodies
Produced by an antigen to attack the foreign bodies
Disorders of the Immune system
Lupus
Flu virus
Wagener's granulomatosis
Autoimmune hepatitis
Antiphosopholipid Syndrome
