Lymphatic/ Immune System Gisselle De Jesus Per.1 - Coggle Diagram
Lymphatic/ Immune System Gisselle De Jesus Per.1
Major functions of the Lymphatic & Immune systems
Lymphatic
Collect and carry away excess tissue fluid
Defend body against disease
Immune
Thymus provides immunity
Passive vs. Active immunity
Passive immunity is obtained by receiving antibodies; since there is no antigen contact and no immune response occurs, no memory B cells are produced; this is short-term immunity
Active Immunity is obtained through antigen exposure; an immune response occurs in the person, in which antibodies and memory B cells are produced; this is long-lasting immunity
Humoral response and cellular response
cellular
Response through cell-to-cell contact
Humoral
Antibodies travel through the body fluids to attack and destroy antigens
Purpose and examples of First, Second and Third line of defense
Second
Examples
Inflammation
Phagocytosis
Natural Killer cells
Fever
Chemical Barriers
Destroys without targeting specific individuals
Third
Examples
Humoral immune response
Cellular Immune response
Against pathogens
First
Examples
Mechanical Barriers
Defend body from infection
Location of Lymphatic organs and their functions
Thymus
In chest between lungs
Provides immunity
Spleen
Filters the blood and removes damaged blood cells and bacteria
In the upper left abdominal
Lymph nodes
Located in groups or chains along lymphatic vessels
Filter lymph, immune surveillance, lymphocyte production, lymphocytes, and macrophages
Cells involved in the immune system and their functions
B Cells
Site of differentiation: Red Bone marrow
Red Bone marrow
T Cells
Site of differentiation: Thymus
Red Bone Marrow
Innate(natural) immune defenses and Adaptive(acquired) immune defenses
Adaptive
Lymphocytes
Innate
Mechanical Barriers
Species Resistance
Inflammation
Chemical Barriers
Natural Killer Cells
Phagocytosis
Disorders associated with the Immune system
Hepatitus B
Polo virus
Malaria
Pinworm Infection
Haemophilus
Measles
Meningits
Toxoplasmosis
Tuberculosis
Chicken Pox
Rubella
Artificial vs. Naturally acquired immunity
Naturally acquired passive immunity
Antibodies passed to fetus from pregnant woman with active immunity or to newborn through colostrum or breast milk from a women with active immunity
Artificially acquired passive immunity
Injection of antiserum or gamma globulins
Artificially acquired active immunity
Exposure to a vaccine containing weakened or dead pathogens or their components
Naturally acquired active immunity
Exposure to live pathogens
Antigens and antibodies
Antigens
Immune response is directed against "nonself" molecules, which are usually large and complex foreign molecules
Can be any large molecules that can trigger an immune response
Antibodies
5 major types
IgG, IgA, IgM, IgE, IgD
3 methods by which antibodies react
Activation of complement
Inflammation
Direct attack
