Lymphatic immune system concept map
Aleena Alfaro
P.1
Major functions of the Lymphatic & Immune systems
inhibit spread of invaders
attacks foreign substances
Lymphatic organs
Mucous membranes, Tonsils, Spleen, Lymph nodes, Thymus, Bone marrow
Purpose and examples of First, Second and Third line of defense
second lines
contain pattern recognition receptors
phagocytes, inflammation, natural killer cells,
third lines
specific response
lymphocytes, memory cells, antibodies
first lines
function as surface barriers
acid, enzymes, mucin
Innate(natural) immune defenses and Adaptive(acquired) immune defenses
innate
skin, mucous membrane, phagocytes, natural killer cells, inflammation, antimicrobial proteins, fever
adaptive
B cells, T cells
Humoral response and cellular response
humoral
antibodies are produced and run freely in body fluids
cellular
Lymphocytes act against target cell
Antigens and antibodies
antigens
provoke an immune response
antibodies
proteins secreted by plasma cells
Artificial vs. Naturally acquired immunity
Artificial
response to vaccine
natural
formed from infection
Passive vs. Active immunity
passive
delivered through breastmilk
passed on through injection, vaccine
active
acquired through infection
formed from unattended pathogens
Cells involved in the immune system and their functions
Dendritic cells
boundary tissues
Macrophages
activates macrophage
lymphocytes
Present antigens to helper T cell
Disorders associated with the Immune system
Hodgkin’s disease
causes cancer of B cells --> immunodeficiency
HIV
ruins immune system by interfering with helper T cells
Autoimmune disease
immune system cannot detect foreign substances against itself
Pus
dead neutrophils and pathogens
