LYMPHATIC AND IMMUNE SYSTEMS The Language of Immunology ©2014 Nucleus Medical Media The health professionals involved in the diagnosis and treatment of problems with the lymphatic and immune systems include: • Immunologists and allergists, who are physicians who specialize in immune system disorders, such as allergies, asthma, and immunodeficiency and autoimmune diseases • Epidemiologists, who are medical scientists involved in the study of epidemic diseases and how they are transmitted and controlled • Medical or laboratory technicians, who perform testing procedures on blood, body fluids, and other tissues using microscopes, computers, and other equipment 398 CHAPTER 12 Chapter Learning Outcomes The lymphatic and immune systems are the major defenders of the body against disease The content of this chapter is designed to enable you to: LO 12.1 Describe the anatomy and flow of the lymphatic system LO 12.2 Relate the structure of the lymph nodes, tissues, and cells to their functions LO 12.3 Explain the structure and functions of the lymphatic organs LO 12.4 Discuss disorders of the lymphatic system LO 12.5 Define the characteristics of the immune system LO 12.6 Explain immunity LO 12.7 Describe disorders of the immune system and transplantation LO 12.8 Discuss HIV and AIDS infections LO 12.9 Identify diagnostic and therapeutic procedures and medications used in disorders of the lymphatic and immune systems LO 12.A Use the medical terms of immunology to communicate and document in writing accurately and precisely in any health care setting LO 12.B Use the medical terms of immunology to communicate verbally with accuracy and precision in any health care setting LO 12.C Construct the medical terms of immunology from their word elements LO 12.D Deconstruct the medical terms of immunology into their word elements LO 12.E Identify health professionals involved in the care of patients with immune disorders LO 12.F Use approved abbreviations of terms used in immunology correctly Case Report (CR) 12.1 You are . a medical assistant working with Susan Lee, MD, in her primary care clinic at Fulwood Medical Center Your patient is . Ms Anna Clemons, a 20-year-old waitress, who is a new patient She has noticed a lump in her right neck On questioning, you find that she has lost about pounds in weight in the past couple of months, has felt tired, and has had some night sweats Her vital signs (VS) are normal There are two firm, enlarged lymph nodes in her right neck Physical examination is otherwise unremarkable, and there is no evidence of infection in her head, throat, or upper respiratory tract Lesson 12.1 LY M P H AT I C A N D I M M U N E S Y S T E M S Lymphatic System Lesson Objectives LO 12.1 Lymphatic System As part of your defense mechanisms, the lymphatic system and its fluid provide surveillance and protection against foreign materials The body has three lines of defense mechanisms against foreign organisms (pathogens), cells (cancer), and molecules (pollutants and allergens): Physical mechanisms—the skin and mucous membranes, chemicals in perspiration, saliva and tears, hairs in the nostrils, cilia and mucus to protect the lungs These are described in the individual body system chapters Cellular mechanisms—based on defensive cells (lymphocytes) that directly attack suspicious cells such as cancer cells, transplanted tissue cells, or cells infected with viruses or parasites This is the basis for the lymphatic system Humoral defense mechanisms—based on antibodies that are found in body fluids and bind to bacteria, toxins, and extracellular viruses, tagging them for destruction This is the basis for the immune system The lymphatic system (Figure 12.1) has three components: A network of thin lymphatic capillaries and vessels, similar to blood vessels, that penetrates into the interstitial spaces of nearly every tissue in the body except cartilage, bone, red bone marrow, and the central nervous system (CNS) A group of tissues and organs that produce immune cells Lymph, a clear colorless fluid similar to blood plasma but whose composition varies from place to place in the body It flows through the network of lymphatic capillaries and vessels The lymphatic system has three functions: To absorb excess interstitial fluid and return it to the bloodstream To remove foreign chemicals, cells, and debris from the tissues To absorb dietary lipids from the small intestine (see Chapter 5) The lymphatic network begins with lymphatic capillaries, which are closed-ended tubes nestled among blood capillary networks (Figure 12.2) The lymphatic capillaries are designed to let interstitial fluid enter, and the interstitial fluid becomes lymph In addition, bacteria, viruses, cellular debris, and traveling cancer cells can enter the lymphatic capillaries with the interstitial fluid The lymphatic capillaries converge to form the larger lymphatic collecting vessels These resemble small veins and have one-way valves in their lumen L subclavian They travel alongside veins and arteries vein The larger lymphatic collecting vessels merge into lymphatic trunks that drain lymph from a major body region In turn, these lymphatic trunks merge into two large Axillary lymphatic ducts: lymph nodes The right lymphatic duct receives lymph from the right arm, right side of the thorax, Spleen and right side of the head and drains into the right subclavian vein (Figure 12.1) In this lesson, the information provided will enable you to use correct medical terminology to: 12.1.1 Describe the anatomy and flow of the lymphatic system 12.1.2 List the functions of the lymphatic system 12.1.3 Identify the major cells of the lymphatic system and their functions 12.1.4 Detail the anatomy and functions of the lymph nodes, tonsils, thymus gland, and spleen 12.1.5 Explain the effects of common disorders of the lymphatic system on health Palatine tonsil Submandibular lymph nodes Cervical lymph nodes R lymphatic duct R subclavian vein Thymus Lymphatic vessels Thoracic duct Intestinal lymph nodes Inguinal lymph nodes Blood capillary Tissue fluid Tissue cell Lymphatic capillary Bone marrow Lymphatic vessels Lymphatic duct ▲ Figure 12.1 The Lymphatic System (R = right;

Lymphatic System 401 Afferent lymphatic vessel LO 12.2 Lymphatic Nodes, Tissues, and Cells Capsule Artery Vein Valve ▲ Figure 12.3 Lymph Node Keynotes • Tissues that are the first line of defense against pathogens—for example, the airway passages—have lymphatic tissue in the submucous layers to help protect against invasion • T cells (or T lymphocytes) mature in the thymus and make up 75% to 85% of the body’s lymphocytes • B cells (or B lymphocytes) mature in the bone marrow and make up 15% to 25% of the body’s lymphocytes • Macrophages are produced and stored in the spleen Abbreviations B cells B lymphocytes CD cluster of differentiation Ig immunoglobulin T cells T lymphocytes Lymph Nodes At irregular intervals, the lymphatic collecting vessels enter into the part of the lymphatic network called lymph nodes (Figure 12.3) There are hundreds of lymph nodes stationed all over the body They are especially concentrated in the neck, axilla, and Efferent groin Their functions are to filter impurities from the lymph and alert the immune lymphatic system to the presence of pathogens vessel The lymph moves slowly through the node (Figure 12.3), which filters the lymph and removes any foreign matter On its journey back to the bloodstream, lymph passes through several nodes and becomes cleansed of most foreign matter Macrophages in the lymph nodes ingest and break down the foreign matter and display fragments of it to T cells (see the following section) This alerts the immune system to the presence of an invader Lymph leaves the nodes again when it enters into the efferent collecting vessels All these lymph vessels move lymph toward the thoracic cavity Lymphatic Tissues and Cells Many organs have a sprinkling of lymphocytes in their connective tissues and mucous membranes, particularly in passages that open to the exterior—the respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive tracts—where invaders have access to the body In some organs, lymphocytes and other cells form dense clusters called lymphatic follicles These are constant features in the tonsils, the adenoids, and the ileum Lymphatic tissues are composed of a variety of cells that include: T lymphocytes (T cells) The “T” stands for thymus, where they mature T lymphocytes make up 75% to 85% of body lymphocytes There are several types of T cells: a Cytotoxic or “killer” T cells destroy target cells Their cell membrane holds a coreceptor that can recognize a specific antigen Coreceptors are named with the letters “CD” (cluster of differentiation) followed by a number, for these cells, CD8 b Helper T cells contain the CD4 coreceptor and are called CD4 cells They begin the defensive response against a specific antigen c Memory T cells arise from cytotoxic T lymphocytes that have previously destroyed a foreign cell If they encounter the same antigen, they can now quickly kill it without initiation by a helper T cell d Suppressor T cells suppress activation of the immune system Failure of these cells to function properly may result in autoimmune diseases B lymphocytes (B cells) These cells mature in the bone marrow B lymphocytes make up 15% to 25% of lymphocytes They are activated by helper T cells, respond to a specific antigen, and cause the production of antibodies called immunoglobulins (Ig) The mature B cells are called plasma cells and secrete large quantities of antibodies that immobilize, neutralize, and prepare the specific antigen for destruction Null cells These are large granular lymphocytes that are natural killer cells but lack the specific surface markers of the T and B lymphocytes Macrophages These cells develop from monocytes (see Chapter 11) that have migrated from blood They ingest and destroy tissue debris, bacteria, and other foreign matter (phagocytosis) 402 CHAPTER 12 Lymphatic and Immune Systems The Language of Immunology LO 12.2, 12.A Word Analysis and Definition WORD S = Suffix P = Prefix R = Root R/CF =

of the lymph nodes called Hodgkin lymphoma LO 12.4 Disorders of the Lymphatic System ▲ Figure 12.6 Hodgkin Lymphoma The lymphatic tissues in Hodgkin disease contain specific cells called Reed-Sternberg cells that are not found in any other cancerous lymphomas or cancers ©James Cavallini/Photo Researchers, Inc Physicians routinely palpate accessible lymph nodes in the neck (cervical nodes), axillae (axillary nodes), and groin (inguinal nodes) for enlargement and tenderness Their presence indicates disease in the tissues drained by the lymph nodes Cancerous lymph nodes are enlarged, firm, and usually painless Infections in the lymph nodes cause them to be swollen and tender to the touch, a condition called lymphadenitis All lymph node enlargements are collectively called lymphadenopathy When lymph nodes are removed, it is called lymphadenectomy Lymphoma is a malignant neoplasm of the lymphatic organs, usually the lymph nodes The disorder usually presents as an enlarged, nontender lymph node, often in the neck or axilla Lymphomas are grouped into two categories: Hodgkin lymphoma—characterized by the presence of abnormal, cancerous B cells called Reed-Sternberg cells These are large cells with two nuclei resembling the eyes of an owl (Figure 12.6) The cancer spreads in an orderly manner to adjoining lymph nodes This enables the disease to be staged, depending on how far it has spread Diagnostic procedures include biopsy of an enlarged node to look for Reed-Sternberg cells, x-rays, computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans, lymphangiogram, and bone marrow biopsy Treatment options include radiation, chemotherapy, and an autologous bone marrow transplant Non-Hodgkin lymphomas—occur much more frequently than Hodgkin lymphoma They include some 30 different disease entities in 10 different subtypes Treatment depends on the rate of growth of the disease and varies from careful observation to chemotherapy and radiation to bone marrow transplantation ▲ Figure 12.7 Tonsillitis Open mouth and throat of a 15-year-old girl with inflamed tonsils They are flecked with infected white patches due to tonsillitis, an infection usually caused by streptococci bacteria ©Dr P Marazzi/Science Photo Library, Photo Researchers, Inc Tonsillitis, inflammation of the tonsils and adenoids, occurs mostly in the first years of life The infection can be viral or bacterial (usually streptococcal) It produces enlarged, tender lymph nodes under the jaw (Figure 12.7) A rapid strep test can determine if Streptococcus is the cause, in which case a full course of antibiotics is indicated The infection can be recurrent, and tonsillectomy is sometimes performed Splenomegaly, an enlarged spleen, is not a disease in itself but the result of an underlying disorder However, when the spleen enlarges, it traps and removes an excessive number of blood cells and platelets (hypersplenism) and reduces the number of blood cells and platelets in the bloodstream The potential causes of splenomegaly are numerous and include infections such as infectious mononucleosis, lymphomas, anemias such as sickle cell anemia, and storage diseases such as Gaucher disease Diagnosis and treatment focus on the underlying cause Occasionally, splenectomy is necessary Ruptured spleen is a common complication from car accidents or other trauma when the abdomen and rib cage are damaged Intra-abdominal bleeding from the ruptured spleen can be extensive, with a dramatic fall in blood pressure (BP), and is a surgical emergency requiring splenectomy After splenectomy, patients are very susceptible to infection but function very well Lymphedema is localized, nonpitting fluid retention caused by a compromised lymphatic system, often after surgery or radiation therapy It also can be primary, where the cause is unknown 406 CHAPTER 12 Lymphatic and Immune Systems The Language of Immunology LO 12.4, 12.A Word Analysis and Definition
