A&P Concept Map Assignment – Lymphatic/Immune System Jenifer Reyes period 2
Location of Lymphatic organs and their functions
spleen
function- helps germs get away from the blood
location- nect to my stomach and behind left ribs
characteristics
tonsils
function- helps to fight infection
location- rear of throat
characteristics
appendix
thymus
function- create lymphocytes called t cells
t cells- provides cellular immune response in which t cells interavct directly with the antigens or sntigens bearing agents to destroy them
characteristics
location
lymphatic nodes
location
characteristics-
function-
red bone marrow-
function red blood cells and cells are produced and t lymphocytes are produced
characteristics
Major functions of the Lymphatic & Immune systems (include BOTH)
Lymphatic vessels carry away excess tissue fluid
helps body against disease
Purpose and examples of First, Second and Third line of defense
Innate(natural) immune defenses and Adaptive(acquired) immune defenses
Humoral response and cellular response
Antigens and antibodies
antigens
functions- triggers an immune response
examples- proteins, foods, chemical
any large molecule
antibodies
IgM
igA
igG
Artificial vs. Naturally acquired immunity
Passive vs. Active immunity
passive immunity
short term immunity
is obtained by receiving antibodies
there is no antigen contact and no immune response occurs, no
memory B cells are produced
protects us from pathogen by immunity gained from someone else
active
protects us from pathogen
Cells involved in the immune system and their functions
Disorders associated with the Immune system
natural killer cells
small gorups of lymphocytes other than t cells and be cells
defend the body against the viruses and cancer cells by secreting cytolytic substances clled perforins which lyse break apart vcell membrane of pathogens
