Human Anatomy and Physiology - Lymphatic system and body defensesJethro Baltazar
The lymphatic system helps maintain fluid balance, absorbs fats, and aids the immune system. It contains lymph vessels, lymph nodes, lymph, the spleen, thymus, and tonsils. Lymph nodes filter lymph and add infection-fighting lymphocytes. Together with nonspecific defenses like skin and inflammatory response, and specific defenses like antibodies and lymphocytes, the immune system protects the body from pathogens. Disorders can cause allergic reactions, immunodeficiencies, or autoimmune diseases where the immune system attacks the body's own tissues. The lymphatic system develops after birth as the baby gains its own active immunity.

Human Anatomy and Physiology - Lymphatic system and body defensesJethro Baltazar
The lymphatic system helps maintain fluid balance, absorbs fats, and aids the immune system. It contains lymph vessels, lymph nodes, lymph, the spleen, thymus, and tonsils. Lymph nodes filter lymph and add infection-fighting lymphocytes. Together with nonspecific defenses like skin and inflammatory response, and specific defenses like antibodies and lymphocytes, the immune system protects the body from pathogens. Disorders can cause allergic reactions, immunodeficiencies, or autoimmune diseases where the immune system attacks the body's own tissues. The lymphatic system develops after birth as the baby gains its own active immunity.
The lymphatic system helps defend the body against disease. It consists of lymphatic vessels that carry lymph fluid and lymph nodes that filter the fluid. The lymphatic system works with the immune system which has innate and adaptive defenses. The adaptive defenses include lymphocytes, antibodies, and antigen-presenting cells that work together to identify and destroy pathogens. Antibodies bind to antigens to help fight infections and diseases. The lymphatic and immune systems provide critical defenses but can also cause issues like allergic reactions or autoimmune diseases when they mistakenly attack the body's own tissues. Emerging technologies utilize the lymphatic system to treat diseases.
The lymphatic system includes lymphatic organs such as the bone marrow, thymus gland, tonsils, spleen, lymph vessels, and lymph nodes. The lymphatic system helps defend the body against disease by transporting excess fluid, immune cells, and fat particles. It contains several organs that aid immune functions such as filtering blood cells, developing immune cells, and mounting immune responses.
The document provides an overview of basic immunology. It discusses the immune system and its components, including innate and acquired immunity. The innate immune system provides non-specific defenses and includes physical barriers, phagocytes, complement proteins, cytokines, and natural killer cells. Acquired immunity develops from exposure to antigens and provides long-lasting, pathogen-specific protection in the form of antibodies and T-cells. Key cellular responses include inflammation, antigen presentation, complement activation, and the roles of B-cells and T-cells in humoral and cellular immunity.
This document provides an overview of the development of specific immunity and its applications. It discusses the development of the dual lymphocyte system involving B and T cell maturation. It describes how antigens are processed and presented, and how this leads to the activation and clonal expansion of lymphocytes. It explains the nature of antibodies and cell-mediated immunity carried out by the different T cell types. Finally, it distinguishes between natural and artificial immunity, as well as active versus passive immunity.
Immune System - The immune system is a complex network of cells and proteins that defends the body against infection.
The immune system keeps a record of every microbe it has ever defeated so it can recognize and destroy the microbe quickly if it enters the body again.
Abnormalities of the immune system can lead to allergic disease, immunodeficiencies and autoimmune disorders.
Antigen - Any factors or agents that can enter the body and create an immune response are called antigen.
Formation of immune cells - Immune cells are produced by hematopoietic stem cell in bone marrow
Hematopoietic stem cells are self-renewing and reside in the medulla of the bone ( bone marrow ).
HSCs are divided into two main lineages, lymphoid progenitor cells or myeloid progenitor cells.
Myeloid cells - Neutrophil, Eosinophil, Basophil, Mast cells, Monocyte, Macrophage, Dendritic Cell
Lymphoid cells - B Lymphocytes,
T Lymphocyte, NK Cells
Antigen presenting cells - Professional antigen presenting
cells : Macrophage, Dendritic cell, B Lymphocyte
Non professional antigen presenting cell: Non-professional antigen presenting cells include all nucleated cell types in the body.
Proteins of immune system - Set of serum proteins that co-operate with both Innate and adaptive immune system to eliminate blood and tissue pathogen.
Organs of immune cells - Spleen, Lymph node, Tonsils , MALT, Bone marrow, Thymus
Types of immunity -
Innate Immunity: Innate immune response is in born and is the first line of defense against pathogen
Adaptive immunity: Antigenic specificity. It have immunological memory
Immune Receptors - It is a specialized structures found in the cell membrane. They are mainly composed of proteins, which bind to pathogens and causes a response in immune system
The immune system has two main lines of defense - innate (non-specific) and adaptive (specific). The innate system provides immediate protection and involves physical and chemical barriers like skin and stomach acid. If pathogens breach these barriers, the second line uses phagocytes, natural killer cells, and inflammation to attack invaders. The adaptive system has a delayed but stronger response that involves lymphocytes. It distinguishes self from non-self and has immunological memory, providing lifelong protection against reinfection.
This document provides an overview of chapter 15 from the textbook Foundations in Microbiology. It discusses the development of the dual lymphocyte system involving B cells and T cells. It describes how antigens are processed and presented to lymphocytes, leading to clonal selection and expansion. The roles of antibodies and cell-mediated immunity are explained. The document also covers acquired immunity, both natural and artificial, as well as active and passive types.
The document discusses the mechanisms of innate and adaptive immunity. It describes the three lines of defense in the immune system: physical and chemical barriers, nonspecific resistance, and specific resistance. The mechanisms of innate immunity include epithelial surfaces, antibacterial substances, cellular factors, inflammation, fever, and acute phase proteins. Adaptive immunity involves B cells, T cells, and immunological memory. The humoral immune response involves antibody production by B cells, while cell-mediated immunity involves T cell activation and cytotoxic T cells destroying infected cells.
The document discusses the types of immunity provided by the immune system, including humoral immunity and cellular immunity. Humoral immunity involves antibodies produced by B cells, while cellular immunity is mediated by T cells and involves the destruction of infected cells. The mechanisms of innate immunity are also described, such as physical and chemical barriers, nonspecific resistance factors, and inflammation. Adaptive immunity provides antigen-specific immune responses through B and T cells.

IMMUNITY:
INTRODUCTION:
Our immune system is essential for our survival.
Without an immune system, our bodies would be open to attack from bacteria, viruses, parasites, and more.
It is our immune system that keeps us healthy as we drift through a sea of pathogens.
The document summarizes the cells of the immune system. It discusses how hematopoietic stem cells differentiate into either myeloid or lymphoid progenitor cells through hematopoiesis. The myeloid lineage gives rise to red blood cells, platelets, neutrophils, basophils, eosinophils and monocytes/macrophages. The lymphoid lineage produces B cells, T cells and natural killer cells. Each cell type is described in terms of its identifying markers, functions, and role in the immune response. The document also discusses cytokines that mediate communication between immune cells.
The document summarizes the human immune system. It discusses the external and internal defenses as the first line of defense against pathogens. The second line of defense involves phagocytic cells and inflammatory responses. There are two main types of immunity - humoral immunity involving antibodies and cell-mediated immunity involving T cells. Abnormal immune function can lead to diseases like autoimmune disorders, allergies, and immunodeficiencies. The lymphatic system plays an important role in immunity by transporting lymph fluid containing immune cells.
