The Lymphatic System
• Main functions:– Return tissue fluid to the blood– Intestinal absorption of fats and fat-soluble
vitamins– Helps the body defend itself against disease

Plasma
• plasma– 92% water– 8% plasma proteins
• albumin
• globulin
• fibrinogen
• serum - plasma without clotting proteins or fibrinogen

The Lymphatic System (cont’d.)
• Lymph: clear fluid that resembles plasma and is formed from plasma during capillary exchange
• Composition of lymph: water, electrolytes, waste from metabolizing cells, and some protein that leaks out of the capillaries of the systemic circulation
![Page 8: Immune System Madeleine Myers RN, MS, FNP. Objectives List three functions of the lymphatic system. Describe the composition and flow of lymph. State.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649d205503460f949f49c0/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Structures of the Immune SystemStructures of the Immune System
• Unlike other body systems, Immune System is NOT contained within a single set of organs or vessels
• Action depends on structures from lymphatic, cardiovascular, and Integumentary systems
• Works primarily through antigen-antibody reaction

TonsilsTonsils
• masses of lymph tissue designed to filter tissue fluid, not lymph
• located beneath certain areas of moist epithelium exposed to outside and hence to contamination
• any or all may become so loaded with bacteria that the pathogens gain dominance
• should not be removed unless absolutely necessary.

Antigen-Antibody ReactionsAntigen-Antibody Reactions
• Antigen - any substance that the body regards as foreign (virus, bacterium, toxin)
• Antibody - a disease fighting protein developed by the body in response to the presence of an antigen
• Antigen-antibody reaction or immune reaction

Types of Immunity
• Two main categories of immunity:– Genetic immunity: genetic information
conveys immunity to certain diseases
– Acquired immunity: received during person’s lifetime, either naturally or artificially

Acquired Immunity
• Naturally acquired immunity– Active immunity: antibodies and memory cells
are produced in the body after first exposure to a specific pathogen
– Passive immunity: antibodies that were developed in response to the pathogens the mother encountered in her life are passed to a fetus by the mother

• Artificially acquired immunity– Active immunity:
• Vaccine: antigen-bearing substance injected into a person to stimulate antibody production
– Passive immunity:• Immune globulin: obtained from a donor that has
developed the antibodies in response to a specific antigen
Acquired Immunity (cont’d.)

Other Immunologic Responses
• Allergic reactions: immune system forms antibodies to substances not usually recognized as foreign– Delayed-reaction allergy– Immediate hypersensitivity reaction

Other Immunologic Responses (cont’d.)
• Autoimmune diseases: develop in response to self attack, or autoimmunity
• Organ rejection: recipient’s immune system recognizes donated organ as foreign and mounts an immune attack against it

WBCs for Immune ReactionsWBCs for Immune Reactions
• monocytes - type of lymphocytes – formed in bone marrow/transported where needed by
body– become macrophages
• macrophage - phagocytic cell that protects body by ingesting invading cells
• lymphocytes - major class of WBCs– formed in lymphatic tissue

Lymphocytes
• T cells or T Lymphocytes– mature in thymus gland– Cell mediated immunity
• B cells or B Lymphocytes– mature in bone marrow– antibody-mediated
immunity

T Cell or T Lymphocyte(Cell Mediated Immunity)
T Cell or T Lymphocyte(Cell Mediated Immunity)
• T Cell (cell mediated immunity)– circulating lymphocytes– produced in bone marrow– matures in thymus– live for years– primary function: coordinate immune defenses and kill
organisms

Lymphocyte: T CellsLymphocyte: T Cells
• helper T cells - essential to proper functioning of immune system
• Memory cells- remember antigens and stimulate a faster response if same antigen introduced at a later time

ImmunityImmunity
• Immunity-state of being resistant or not susceptible to a specific disease
• Acquired immunity-any form of immunity NOT present at birth and obtained during life

Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS)
Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS)
• Caused by HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus)
• HIV infects T-helper cells with often a long incubation of up to 10 years
• AIDS name applied during advanced stages of disease
• After immune system destroyed, opportunistic infections occur.

Autoimmune DisordersAutoimmune Disorders
Antigens stimulate development of antibodies that are unable to distinguish antigens of internal cells.
Body makes antibodies and T cells against itself and attacks own tissues.
Multisystemic involvement.
Myasthenia gravis, rheumatoid arthritis

Infectious MononucleosisInfectious Mononucleosis
• Acute infection caused by virus.
• Fever, sore throat, swollen lymph glands, atypical lymphocytes, splenomegaly, hepatomegaly, abnormal liver function, and bruising.
• transmitted by droplet infection
• Infection confers permanent immunity
• Treatment symptomatic
