LYMPHATIC SYSTEM
Lymphatic system
 Lymphatic system is intimately associated with
the blood and cardio vascular system.
 Both the system transport vital fluids through out
the body and both have a system of vessels that
transport these fluids.
 The lymphatic system transports a fluid called
lymph through the special vessels called
lymphatic capillaries
 This lymph eventually gets returned to the blood
where it originated.
 This helps to control , destroy a large number of
microorganisms present in the body.
FUNCTIONS
 Drain the interstitial fluid from the tissue
spaces.
 Transport fat from the digestive tract to
the blood.
 Develops immunity
ORGANS
Lymphatic system consists of
Lymph
Lymph vessels
Lymph nodes
Lymphatic organs
1. Tonsils
2. Spleen
3. Thymus gland
4. Peyer’s patches
tonsils
 Group of cells which protect nose and oral
cavity.
3 types
1. Palatine Tonsils
2. Pharyngeal Tonsils
3. Lingual Tonsils
THYMUS GLAND
 Both lymphatic and endocrine organ.
 Located in the mediastinum , behind
the sternum.
 Involved in immunity.
 Production of T-lymphocytes.
spleen
 Located in the left upper quadrant (LUQ).
 Largest lymphoid organ.
 Phagocytize worn out RBC & Platelets.
 Graveyard of RBC.
 It produces lymphocytes and plasma cells.
 The spleen stores blood and functions as
blood reservoir.
SPLEEN
PEYER’S PATCHES
 TONSIL LIKE CELLS SEEN IN SMALL INTESTINE
IMMUNITY
It is the ability of the body to resist infection
from disease causing micro organisms or
pathogens, damage from foreign substances
and harmful chemicals.
TWO TYPES
 ACTIVE IMMUNITY
 PASSIVE IMMUNITY
THESE ARE AGAIN CLASSIFIED AS
 NATURAL
 ACQUIRED
ANTIGEN
Antigens are the foreign substances that
gain access to our body via cuts and scraps
through the different systems of our body.
ANTIBODY OR IMMUNOGLOBULIN
The immune system produces high
molecular weight proteins called antibodies
or immunoglobulin to destroy the foreign
invader.
Cells of immune response
 B cells – Induce Ag-Ab binding activities.
 Plasma cells – Produce large amount of Ab
 Memory cells – Descendants of activated B
&T cells.
 Killer T cells- Kill virus invaded body cells
and cancerous cells.
 Helper T cells- Release lymphokines and
stimulate the production of killer T cells &
more B cells.
 Suppressor T cells- Slow down the action of
B & T cells.
DISORDERS
 ALLERGY – Hypersensitive reaction to a normal
substance.
 LYMPHOMA - Tumour of lymphatic tissue.
 LYMPHANGITIS- Inflammation of lymph vessels.
 AIDS – Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome
caused by infection with the Human
Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)./ It is transmitted by
contact with body fluids such as sexual contact,
contaminated needles, blood transfusion, mother to
baby..
 THYMOMA – Malignant neoplasm of thymus gland.
 MULTIPLE MYELOMA – Bone marrow cell malignant
tumour.
Bone marrow transplant
 To treat various immunological disorders of
human body including Leukemia ,
lymphoma, splenomegaly , elephantiasis
(Wuchereria bancrofti)
