List the functions of the lymphatic vessels.

Returns interstitial fluid and leaked plasma proteins back to the blood

Once interstitial fluid enters lymphatics, it is called lymph

Together with lymphoid organs and tissues, provide the structural basis of the immune system

Describe the structure and distribution of lymphatic vessels.

1.A network of lymphatic vessels (lymphatics)

One-way valves & Thinner walls than those of veins

2.Lymph 3.Lymph nodes

Three layers: Lymph

1. An endothelial lining (inner)
2. Smooth muscle (middle)
3. Connective tissue (outer)

Lymph vessels (lymphatics) include

1. Lymphatic capillaries
2. Lymphatic collecting vessels
3. Lymphatic trunks and ducts

Lymph is delivered into one of two large ducts

Right lymphatic duct drains the right upper arm and the right side of the head and thorax

Thoracic duct arises from the cisterna chyli and drains the rest of the body

Empties into venous circulation at the junction of the internal jugular and subclavian veins on its own side of the body

Capillary blood pressure filters water and small molecules from the plasma.The resulting fluid has:

1. Much the same consistency as plasma
2. Contains water and dissolved substances
3. Contains smaller proteins which create plasma colloid osmotic pressure

Lymph Formation

Filtration from the plasma normally exceeds re-absorption, leading to the net formation of tissue fluid

This increases the tissue fluid hydrostatic pressure within interstitial spaces forcing fluid into lymphatic capillaries forming lymph

This process prevents accumulation of excess tissue fluid or edema

Lymphatic vessels play a role in____________?

1. Absorption of dietary fats
2. Delivering fats to the bloodstream
3. Collecting of excess interstitial fluids
4. Delivering excess fluids to the bloodstream
5. Delivering foreign particles to the lymph nodes

Hydrostatic pressure of tissue fluid drives the lymph into the lymphatic capillaries. Muscle activity largely influences the movement of lymph through the lymphatic vessels via _____?

1. Action of skeletal muscles
2. Respiratory movements
3. Smooth muscle in the larger lymphatic vessels
4. Valves in the lymphatic vessels

Lymph Nodes

1. Lymph nodes or lymph glands are located along the lymphatic pathways
2. They contain lymphocytes and macrophages to fight invading pathogens

Lymph nodes are found in groups or chains along the paths of the larger lymphatic vessels throughout the body, including the:

1. Cervical region Axillary region
2. Supratrochlear region Inguinal region
3. Thoracic cavity Abdominal cavity
4. Pelvic cavity

Lymph nodes have two primary functions

Filter potentially harmful particles from the lymph

Act with immune surveillance provided by macrophages and lymphocytes

Along with the red bone marrow, the lymph nodes are centers for lymphocyte production

T cells and B cells protect against antigens?

Anything the body perceives as foreign: Bacteria and their toxins; viruses & Mismatched RBCs or cancer cells

The body can prevent entry of pathogens or destroy them with defense mechanisms such as

Innate defenses :

Phagocytes

NK cells Inflammation Antimicrobial proteins Fever

Surface barriers

Mucous membranes Skin

• These are general defenses
• They protect against many pathogens

Adaptive defenses:

Humoral immunity

• B cells
• Cellular immunity T cells

• Known as immunity
• More specific and precise targeting specific antigens
• Are carried out by lymphocytes

Surface barriers

Skin, mucous membranes, and their secretions

1. Keratin is resistant to weak acids and bases, bacterial enzymes, and toxins
2. Physical barrier to most microorganisms

–Mucosae provide similar mechanical barriers

What is Necessary if microorganisms invade deeper tissues?

1. Phagocytes FEVER
2. Natural killer (NK) cells
3. Inflammatory response (macrophages, mast cells, WBCs, and inflammatory chemicals)
4. Antimicrobial proteins (interferons and complement proteins)

Natural Killer (NK) Cells

• NK cells are a small population of lymphocytes defending against viruses and cancer by secreting cytolytic substances called perforins that destroy the infected cell
• NK may also enhance inflammation

• Triggered whenever body tissues are injured or infected
• Prevents the spread of damaging agents
• Disposes of cell debris and pathogens
• Sets the stage for repair

Inflammation

1.Redness- Erythromin

2.Heat- Calor

3.Swelling- edema

4.Pain- dolor

5. Impairment of function

Cardinal signs of acute inflammation

removes foreign particles from the lymph

• are also in the blood vessels and in the tissues of the spleen, liver or bone marrow
• The most active phagocytic cells are neutrophils and monocytes: neutrophils are most phagocytic
• Chemicals attract these phagocytic cells to the injury and this is called chemotaxis

Phagocytosis

1. Phagocyte adheres to pathogens or debris.
2. Phagocyte forms pseudopods that eventually engulf the particles forming a phagosom.
3. Lysosome fuses with the phagocytic vesicle, forming a phagolysosome.
4. Lysosomal enzymes digest the particles, leaving a residual body.
5. Exocytosis of the vesicle removes indigestible and residual material

Events of phagocytosis

A ______ begins when a viral or bacterial infection stimulates lymphocytes to proliferate, producing cells that secrete a substance called interleukin-1 (IL-1)

fever

• This is the third line of defense and known as immunity
• It is resistance to particular pathogens or to their toxins or metabolic by-products
• It is based on the ability to distinguish molecules that are part of the body (“self” from “non-self”)
• Antigens are molecules that can elicit an immune response

Adaptive (Specific) Defenses or Immunity

• Proteins
• Polysaccharides
• Glycoproteins
• Glycolipids
• The most effective antigens are large and complex
• Haptens are small molecules that are not antigenic by themselves, but when they combine with a large molecule can stimulate an immune response

Antigens

• Immunoglobulins—gamma globulin portion of blood
• Proteins secreted by plasma cells
• Capable of binding specifically with antigen detected by B cells

Antibodies

first antibody released FIRST TO FIGHT INFECTION

Potent agglutinating agent

Readily fixes and activates complement

IgM

Helps prevent entry of pathogens

MUCUS

IgA (Secretions)

Monomer attached to the surface of B cells

Functions as a B cell receptor

FOUND ON B

IgD

Monomer; 75–85% of antibodies in plasma

From secondary and late primary responses

Crosses the placental barrier

GIRL -PLACENTAL/IMMUNITY TO FETUS

IgG (GIRL)

Active in some allergies and parasitic infections

Causes mast cells and basophils to release histamine

ALLERGY

IgE

• B cells can be activated when an antigen fits the shape of its receptor
• Most of the time B cell activation requires T cells
• T cells release cytokines that stimulate B cells
• Some B cells may become memory B cells while others differentiate into plasma cells and produce and secrete large globular proteins called antibodies or immunoglobulins

B Cells and the Humoral Immune Response

• Naturally acquired—response to a bacterial or viral infection
• Artificially acquired—response to a vaccine of dead or attenuated pathogens

Occurs when B cells encounter antigens and produce specific antibodies against them : Two types ?

Spare us the symptoms of the primary response

Provide antigenic determinants that are immunogenic and reactive

Target only one type of helper T cell, so fail to fully establish cellular immunological memory

Active Humoral Immunity : Vaccines

B cells are not challenged by antigens

Immunological memory does not occur

Passive Humoral Immunity

1.Naturally acquired—antibodies delivered to a fetus via the placenta or to infant through milk

2.Artificially acquired—injection of serum, such as gamma globulin

Protection is immediate but ends when antibodies naturally degrade in the body

Passive Humoral Immunity (2 types)

• A lymphocyte must be activated before it can respond to an antigen
• T cell activation requires antigen-presenting cell (accessory cell) and may include macrophages, B cells and several other types of cells
• Requires major histocompatibility complex (MHC) or human leukocyte antigens (HLA) to recognize “non-self”
• T cells can synthesize and secrete polypeptides called cytokines

T Cells and the Cellular Immune Response

Major types of T cells

CD4 cells become helper T cells (TH) when activated

CD8 cells become cytotoxic T cells (TC) that destroy cells harboring foreign antigens

Other types of T cells

Regulatory T cells (TREG) Memory T cells

Cell-Mediated Immune Response

Occurs on the first exposure to a specific antigen

Lag period: three to six days

Peak levels of plasma antibody are reached in 10 days

Antibody levels then decline

Primary immune response

Occurs on re-exposure to the same antigen(SECONDARY)

Sensitized memory cells respond within hours

Antibody levels peak in two to three days at much higher levels

Antibodies bind with greater affinity

Antibody level can remain high for weeks to months

Secondary immune response

Immune responses to a perceived (otherwise harmless) threat

Causes tissue damage

Different types are distinguished by Their time course

Whether antibodies or T cells are involved

Antibodies cause immediate and subacute hypersensitivities

T cells cause delayed hypersensitivity

Hypersensitivities

1. Immediate-reaction allergy
2. Occurs minutes after contact with allergen

Symptoms include hives, hay fever, asthma, eczema, gastric disturbances, and anaphylactic shock

1. Acute (type I) hypersensitivities (allergies) begin in seconds after contact with allergen
2. Initial contact is asymptomatic but sensitizes the person
3. Reaction may be local or systemic

Type I allergic reaction

1. Antibody-dependent cytotoxic reaction
2. Takes 1-3 hours to develop
3. Transfusion reaction
4. (BLOOD TRANSFUSION)

Type 2 allergic reactions

1. Immune-complex reaction
2. Takes 1-3 hours to develop
3. Antibody complexes cannot be cleared from the body
4. Damage of body tissues (LUPUS)

Type 3 allergic reactions

• Delayed-reaction allergy
• Results from repeated exposure to allergen
• Eruptions and inflammation of the skin
• Takes about 48 hours to occur ( POISON IVY)

Type 4 allergic reactions

1. Systemic response to allergen that directly enters the blood
2. Basophils and mast cells are enlisted throughout the body
3. Systemic histamine releases may cause

Constriction of bronchioles

Sudden vasodilation and fluid loss from the bloodstream

Hypotensive shock and death

• Treatment: epinephrine

Anaphylactic Shock (type 1)

1. Caused by IgM and IgG transferred via blood plasma or serum
2. Slow onset (1–3 hours) and long duration (10–15 hours)
3. Cytotoxic (type II) reactions

Antibodies bind to antigens on specific body cells, stimulating phagocytosis and complement-mediated lysis of the cellular antigens

Example: mismatched blood transfusion reaction

Subacute Hypersensitivities (type 2 )

Antigens are widely distributed through the body or blood

Insoluble antigen-antibody complexes form

Complexes cannot be cleared from a particular area of the body

Intense inflammation, local cell lysis, and death may result

Example: systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)

Immune complex (type III) hypersensitivity: Subacute Hypersensitivities

• Slow onset (one to three days)
• Mechanism depends on helper T cells
• Cytokine-activated macrophages and cytotoxic T cells cause damage
• Example: allergic contact dermatitis (e.g., poison ivy)

Delayed Hypersensitivities (Type IV)

1) Initial B cell contact with allergen

2)Plasma cell secretes antibodies

3)Antibodies attach to mast cell

4)Subsequent contact with allergen

5)Mast cell releases allergy mediators

6)Histamine and other chemicals

7) Allergic reaction

Steps to an allergic reaction

1. A virus particle attaches to a host cell.
2. The particle releases its genetic instructions into the host cell.
3. The injected genetic material recruits the host cell's enzymes.
4. The enzymes make parts for more new virus particles.
5. The new particles assemble the parts into new viruses.
6. The new particles break free from the host cell.HIV enters the body and binds to dendritic cells (orange cells with projections) which carry the virus to CD4+ T cells in lymphoid tissue establishing the infection.
7. Virus replication accelerates producing massive viremia and wide dissemination of virus throughout the body's lymphoid tissues.
8. An immune response against virus causes some protection but a chronic persistent infection is established.
9. The production of cytokines and cell divisions that regulate the immune response for protection also cause HIV replication.
10. There is a rapid turnover of CD4+ T cells that ultimately leads to their destruction and to a change in lymphoid tissues that prevent immune responses.

4 TYPES OF LEUKEMIA (ESSAY)

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML); is a FAST -growing form of cancer of the blood and bone marrow.

Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) (SLOW GROWING )form of cancer that affects the bone marrow and blood

Acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) blood cancer that results when abnormal white blood cells (leukemia cells) accumulate in the bone marrow.

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) too many abnormal lymphocytes grow, crowding out normal blood cells and making it difficult for the body to fight infection.

1) viral genome and reverse transcriptase enter the cell

2) DNA copy synthesized by reverse transcriptase , this is the site of action of AZT and other reverse transcriptase inhibitors

3) RNA degraded; second DNA strand synthesized

4) DNA circularize (unintegrated provirus) or intergrase functions to incorporate DNA into host cell genome(integrated provirus), this is the site of action of antiretrovial drugs under development

5) With host cell activation, viral DNA is transcribed, yielding messenger RNAs and viral genome RNA

6) Viral RNAs are translated, yielding viral enzymes(including protease) and structural proteins, this is the site of action of protease inhibitor

7)in HIV replication. Viral membrane proteins are transported to host cell membrane

8) in HIV replication. Final viral assembly and budding takes place

STEPS OF HIV : ESSAY

LEUKOPENIA VS. LEUKOCYTOSIS

Leukopenia ( WBC DOWN) is a decrease in the number of circulating white blood cells (leukocytes) in the blood. As the principal function of white cells is to combat infection, a decrease in the number of these cells can place patients at increased risk for infection EXAMPLE= FLU
Leukocytosis (WBC HIGH) is an elevation of the WBC count above the normal range. The normal adult human leukocyte count in peripheral blood is 4.4-10.8 x 103/L. A white blood count of 11.0 or more suggests leukocytosis. EXAMPLE : STREP HIGH
very common in acutely ill patients. It occurs in response to a wide variety of conditions, including viral, bacterial, fungal, or parasitic infection, cancer, and exposure to certain medications or chemicals : first indication of neoplastic growth of leukocytes.
