Immune System Concept Map
Pedro Bustos
Major functions of the Lymphatic & Immune systems (include BOTH)
Lymphatic System
-
Is part of immune system
Keeps body fluid levels balanced
Defends body against infections
Lymphatic vessels, tissues, and glands work together to drain a watery fluid called lymph from throughout the body
Immune System
-
Fight disease causing germs
Protects against germs, parasites, and cells
Antigens and antibodies
Antigens
-
Can be any large molecules that can trigger an immune response (proteins,food,chem)
B4 birth, bod makes inventory of "self" antigens
Immune response is directed against "nonself' molecules, which R usually large complex foreign molecules
Antibodies
-
Direct attck by agglutionation, precipitation, or neutralization of antigens; these methods make antigens more susceptile to phagocytosis
Active of complement results in opsonization, chemotaxis, inflam, aggulination, neutralizaiton, alteration, or lysis of antig or antig-bearing cells
Artificial vs. Naturally acquired immunity
Naturally
-
Occurs after expo to the antigen; long term results, due to events of primary immu respo (mem B c are prod)
Artificial
-
Occurs thru use of vaccines, w/o person bcoming ill from disease; since vacc contain weakend or dead pahtogens, person dev long-term immunity, due to immune response that includes mem B c form
Passive vs. Active immunity
Active
-
Immunity you develope after being expo to an expo to an infec or from getting a vaccine
Passive
-
Immunity you acquire from someone or something else to
Humoral response and cellular response
Humoral response
-
Deals with antigens from pathogens outside infected cells
Cellular response
-
Binding of chem signals to their corre receptors induces events within the cell that ultimately changes it's behaviour
Purpose and examples of First, Second and Third line of defense
2nd
-
Chem barrier
NKC
Inflammation
Phagycytosis
Fever
3rd
-
Cellular immune response
Humoral immine response
1st
-
Pathogen attempts entry
Mech barriers (skin and mucous memb)
patho enters bod
Location of Lymphatic organs and their functions
Location
-
Throat
Armpits
Abdomen
Groin
Functions
-
They are in chains or groups
Embedded into fatty tissues and lie close to veins and arteries
Lymph nodes are assoc w/ body defence
Filter lymph
Lymphocytes attack viruses, bacteria, and parasitic cells that enter
Macrophages engulf and destroy foreign particles, debris, and damaged cells
Innate(natural) immune defenses and Adaptive(acquired) immune defenses
Innate(natural) immune defenses
-
Gaurd against many pathogens; respond quickly
Include species resistance, mech barriers, chem barriers, NKC, inflammation, phagocytosis, and fever
Adaptive(acquired) immune defenses
-
Respond against only a spec type of pathogen; respond more slowly
Accomp by spec lymphocytes, which secrete cyotokines of anitbods
