+ Lymphatic System: Purpose: Transports a watery fluid called lymph.
This fluid distributes immune cells, and other factors throughout the body.
It also interacts with the circulatory system to drain fluid from cells and tissues
![Page 3: The Lymphatic / Immune System](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5681668e550346895dda617e/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
+ Lymphatic System: Functions: Collect and return fluids, including blood plasma, to the blood, maintaining fluid homeostasis.
Defends the body against disease by producing lymphocytes.
Absorbs lipids from the intestine, and transports them to the blood.

+ Lymph / Lymph VesselsLymph: fluid and protein that has been squeezed out of the blood (blood plasma).
Vessels: A network of permeable capillaries and vessels that lymph drains into.
![Page 8: The Lymphatic / Immune System](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5681668e550346895dda617e/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
+ Lymph Vessels The lymph system is one-way, draining lymph from tissue, back to the blood.
Lymph movement depends on smooth muscle action, and skeletal system movement.
![Page 9: The Lymphatic / Immune System](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5681668e550346895dda617e/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
+ Lymph Nodes: Filters Lymph as is travels
in the lymph vessels. White blood cells are
located within the lymph nodes.
Bean-shaped, size ranges from 3mm to 2cm.
Can become enlarged due to infection.
A combination burglar alarm and West Point. They guard against intruders, but also train the ‘military’ to fight.

+ White Blood CellsBone marrow produces lymphocytesNormally in blood, but can be found at any location.
Re-enter blood circulation through lymph vessels.
Fight foreign invaders (microorganisms)Some last 2-5 days, others last for years.

+ Immune System & Disease
• Disease- any change that disrupts normal body functions (other than injury)
• Causes-
Bacteria
viruses
fungi
environmental factors (smoke, lead, pesticides)
genetically inherited (hemophilia, Down's Syndrome)
![Page 18: The Lymphatic / Immune System](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5681668e550346895dda617e/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
+Germ Theory of Disease
Proposed by Louis Pasteur & Robert Koch
Infectious diseases are caused by microorganisms
![Page 19: The Lymphatic / Immune System](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5681668e550346895dda617e/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
+Agents of Disease
Virus- tiny particles that invade & replicate within living cells
Is not alive, only a piece of DNA or RNA bound in a protective coat
![Page 20: The Lymphatic / Immune System](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5681668e550346895dda617e/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
+Agents of Disease
Bacteria- single celled organisms (prokaryotic)
Most don’t cause disease
Those that cause disease attack cells directly or produce toxins that harm cells
![Page 21: The Lymphatic / Immune System](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5681668e550346895dda617e/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Agents of Disease
Protists- tiny single celled organisms that spread via insects, blood, food, or water
Examples: Malaria, Sleeping sickness, traveler’s diarrhea
![Page 22: The Lymphatic / Immune System](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5681668e550346895dda617e/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Agents of Disease
Worms-- flatworms & roundworm eggs that grow inside other organisms
Examples: Schistosoma
Ascaristapeworm
![Page 23: The Lymphatic / Immune System](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5681668e550346895dda617e/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Agents of Disease
Fungi– most are harmless
Tinea attacks the skin
causes athlete’s foot &
ringworm
![Page 24: The Lymphatic / Immune System](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5681668e550346895dda617e/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Spread of Disease
Coughing, sneezing, or physical contact
Contaminated food & water
Animals
![Page 25: The Lymphatic / Immune System](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5681668e550346895dda617e/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
+Fighting Infectious Disease1. Antibiotics– compounds that kill bacteria
without harming host cells
Many are produced naturally by organisms (like mold creates penicillin) discovered by Alexander Fleming
2. Antiviral drugs– inhibit their ability to invade cells
3. Rest & fluids so your own immune system can work well!
![Page 26: The Lymphatic / Immune System](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5681668e550346895dda617e/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
+The Immune System Immunity- fighting off disease before it
actually makes you ill
2 categories:
1. Specific- targeted for 1 disease
2. Nonspecific- general line of defense against anything
![Page 27: The Lymphatic / Immune System](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5681668e550346895dda617e/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
+Non-specific Defense
1st line of defense – Physical
-Skin
-Mucus
-Sweat
-Tears
The sweat & tears contain lysozymes (enzyme that breaks down bacteria cell walls)
![Page 28: The Lymphatic / Immune System](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5681668e550346895dda617e/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
+Non-specific Defense
2nd Line of defense Inflammatory response–
1. Phagocytes (white blood cells)
go to site of injury to engulf foreign agents
2. Fever can slow down growth or stop growth of some pathogens (also ‘s heart rate to get WBC’s to site faster)
3. Interferon proteins help cells resist viruses by slowing down their replication in cells
![Page 29: The Lymphatic / Immune System](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5681668e550346895dda617e/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
+ Specific DefenseImmune response is triggered by antigens
(any foreign agent)
Creates B & T Lymphocytes
B cells Attacks antigens in body fluids
T cells Attacks antigens within cells
![Page 30: The Lymphatic / Immune System](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5681668e550346895dda617e/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
+ AntibodiesProteins created by B cells
Bind to antigens to stop them from moving into cells & signals proteins (produced by liver) to destroy the antigen
B memory cells store info to create antibodies quickly against another antigen attack
![Page 31: The Lymphatic / Immune System](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5681668e550346895dda617e/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
+ Antibodies
Y shaped with 2 identical binding sites
Shape of binding site is specific to an antigen with a complementary shape
Most healthy adults can produce 100 million different types of antibodies
![Page 32: The Lymphatic / Immune System](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5681668e550346895dda617e/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
+ Cell Mediated ImmunityImportant in fighting infections
caused by fungi & protists & viruses
T-cells divide into killer, helper, suppressor, & memory cells
Killer T-cells destroy the agents
Helper T-cells produce memory T cells
Suppressor T-cells releases substances that shut down the killer T-cells
![Page 33: The Lymphatic / Immune System](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5681668e550346895dda617e/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
+HIV & T-cells
HIV replicates inside T-cells, and then destroys them as they burst open to release more viruses
When Immune cells are destroyed, other diseases & infections can weaken & kill AIDS patients
![Page 34: The Lymphatic / Immune System](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5681668e550346895dda617e/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
+Acquired Immunity
Edward Jenner created the 1st vaccine against smallpox using attenuated (heated so it won’t cause the disease) cowpox
Active Immunity is the injection of a mild form of the pathogen to stimulate our immune systems to create antibodies
![Page 35: The Lymphatic / Immune System](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5681668e550346895dda617e/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
+Passive Immunity
Lasts only a short time because they are not created by the body’s own immune system
Examples:
1) Mother passing antibodies through placenta or breast milk to baby
2) Vaccines with antibodies against diseases like malaria, yellow fever, rabies
![Page 36: The Lymphatic / Immune System](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5681668e550346895dda617e/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
+Immune System Disorders
Allergies- overreactions of immune system to antigens
Mast cells are specialized cells that initiate the inflammatory response
Histamines- chemicals released by mast cells that increase blood flow & fluids to the area
This causes sneezing, watery eyes, & runny nose
![Page 37: The Lymphatic / Immune System](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5681668e550346895dda617e/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Autoimmune Diseases
Body attacks the body’s own cells
Examples: Type I diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, myasthenia gravis, & multiple sclerosis (MS), Lupus
