The Lymphatic System• Consists of two semi-independent parts– Lymphatic vessels– Lymphoid tissues and organs
• Lymphatic system functions– Transports escaped fluids back to the blood– Plays essential roles in body defense and resistance to disease
![Page 3: HLT31507 CERTIFICATE III IN NUTRITION & DIETETIC ASSISTANCE THE LYMPHATIC & IMMUNE SYSTEM delivered by: Mary-Louise Dieckmann](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051621/5697bfa11a28abf838c95c93/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Lymphatic Vessels• Lymphatic collecting vessels– Collect lymph from lymph capillaries– Carry lymph to and away from lymph nodes– Return fluid to circulatory veins near the heart• Right lymphatic duct• Thoracic duct

Flow of Lymph Through Nodes
• Lymph enters the convex side through afferent lymphatic vessels• Lymph flows through a number of sinuses inside the node• Lymph exits through efferent lymphatic vessels• Fewer efferent than afferent vessels causes flow to be slowed
![Page 15: HLT31507 CERTIFICATE III IN NUTRITION & DIETETIC ASSISTANCE THE LYMPHATIC & IMMUNE SYSTEM delivered by: Mary-Louise Dieckmann](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051621/5697bfa11a28abf838c95c93/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Other Lymphoid Organs• Several other organs contribute to lymphatic function– Thymus– Spleen– Peyer’s patches– Tonsils
![Page 16: HLT31507 CERTIFICATE III IN NUTRITION & DIETETIC ASSISTANCE THE LYMPHATIC & IMMUNE SYSTEM delivered by: Mary-Louise Dieckmann](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051621/5697bfa11a28abf838c95c93/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Thymus Gland• Located low in the throat, overlying the heart• Functions at peak levels only during childhood• Produces hormones (like thymosin) to program lymphocytes (T Cells)
![Page 18: HLT31507 CERTIFICATE III IN NUTRITION & DIETETIC ASSISTANCE THE LYMPHATIC & IMMUNE SYSTEM delivered by: Mary-Louise Dieckmann](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051621/5697bfa11a28abf838c95c93/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Spleen• Located on the left side of the abdomen• Filters blood• Destroys worn out red blood cells• Returns iron to the liver for hemoglobin production• Acts as a blood reservoir
![Page 19: HLT31507 CERTIFICATE III IN NUTRITION & DIETETIC ASSISTANCE THE LYMPHATIC & IMMUNE SYSTEM delivered by: Mary-Louise Dieckmann](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051621/5697bfa11a28abf838c95c93/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Peyer’s Patches• Found in the wall of the small intestine• Resemble tonsils in structure• Capture and destroy bacteria in the intestine
![Page 20: HLT31507 CERTIFICATE III IN NUTRITION & DIETETIC ASSISTANCE THE LYMPHATIC & IMMUNE SYSTEM delivered by: Mary-Louise Dieckmann](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051621/5697bfa11a28abf838c95c93/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Tonsils• Small masses of lymphoid tissue around the pharynx• Trap and remove bacteria and other foreign materials• Tonsillitis is caused by congestion with bacteria
![Page 21: HLT31507 CERTIFICATE III IN NUTRITION & DIETETIC ASSISTANCE THE LYMPHATIC & IMMUNE SYSTEM delivered by: Mary-Louise Dieckmann](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051621/5697bfa11a28abf838c95c93/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Mucosa-Associated Lymphatic Tissue (MALT)
• Includes– Peyer’s patches– Tonsils– Other small accumulations of lymphoid tissue
• Acts as a sentinel to protect respiratory and digestive tracts
![Page 22: HLT31507 CERTIFICATE III IN NUTRITION & DIETETIC ASSISTANCE THE LYMPHATIC & IMMUNE SYSTEM delivered by: Mary-Louise Dieckmann](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051621/5697bfa11a28abf838c95c93/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Body Defenses• The body is constantly in contact with bacteria, fungi, and viruses• The body has two defense systems for foreign materials– Nonspecific (innate) defense system– Specific (adaptive) defense system
• Together they make up the immune system
![Page 23: HLT31507 CERTIFICATE III IN NUTRITION & DIETETIC ASSISTANCE THE LYMPHATIC & IMMUNE SYSTEM delivered by: Mary-Louise Dieckmann](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051621/5697bfa11a28abf838c95c93/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Body Defenses• Nonspecific defense system– Mechanisms protect against a variety of invaders– Responds immediately to protect body from
foreign materials• Specific defense system– Specific defense is required for each type of
invader– Commonly referred to as the immune system
![Page 24: HLT31507 CERTIFICATE III IN NUTRITION & DIETETIC ASSISTANCE THE LYMPHATIC & IMMUNE SYSTEM delivered by: Mary-Louise Dieckmann](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051621/5697bfa11a28abf838c95c93/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

Nonspecific Body Defenses
• Body surface coverings– Intact skin– Mucous membranes
• Specialized human cells• Chemicals produced by the body
![Page 26: HLT31507 CERTIFICATE III IN NUTRITION & DIETETIC ASSISTANCE THE LYMPHATIC & IMMUNE SYSTEM delivered by: Mary-Louise Dieckmann](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051621/5697bfa11a28abf838c95c93/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Defensive Cells• Phagocytes
(neutrophils and macrophages)– Engulfs foreign
material into a vacuole
– Enzymes from lysosomes digest the material

Inflammatory Response - Second Line of Defense
• Triggered when body tissues are injured• Produces four cardinal signs– Redness, Heat, Swelling and Pain
• Results in a chain of events leading to protection and healing
![Page 29: HLT31507 CERTIFICATE III IN NUTRITION & DIETETIC ASSISTANCE THE LYMPHATIC & IMMUNE SYSTEM delivered by: Mary-Louise Dieckmann](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051621/5697bfa11a28abf838c95c93/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Functions of the Inflammatory Response
• Prevents spread of damaging agents• Disposes of cell debris and pathogens• Sets the stage for repair
![Page 30: HLT31507 CERTIFICATE III IN NUTRITION & DIETETIC ASSISTANCE THE LYMPHATIC & IMMUNE SYSTEM delivered by: Mary-Louise Dieckmann](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051621/5697bfa11a28abf838c95c93/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)

Fever• Abnormally high body temperature• Hypothalmus heat regulation can be reset by pyrogens (secreted by white blood cells)• High temperatures inhibit the release of iron and zinc from liver and spleen needed by bacteria• Fever also increases the speed of tissue repair
![Page 32: HLT31507 CERTIFICATE III IN NUTRITION & DIETETIC ASSISTANCE THE LYMPHATIC & IMMUNE SYSTEM delivered by: Mary-Louise Dieckmann](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051621/5697bfa11a28abf838c95c93/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Specific Defense: The Immune System – Third Line of Defense
• Antigen specific – recognizes and acts against particular foreign substances
• Systemic – not restricted to the initial infection site
• Has memory – recognizes and mounts a stronger attack on previously encountered pathogens
![Page 33: HLT31507 CERTIFICATE III IN NUTRITION & DIETETIC ASSISTANCE THE LYMPHATIC & IMMUNE SYSTEM delivered by: Mary-Louise Dieckmann](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051621/5697bfa11a28abf838c95c93/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Types of Immunity• Humoral immunity (B cells)– Antibody-mediated immunity– Cells produce chemicals for defense
• Cellular immunity (T cells)– Cell-mediated immunity– Cells target virus infected cells
![Page 34: HLT31507 CERTIFICATE III IN NUTRITION & DIETETIC ASSISTANCE THE LYMPHATIC & IMMUNE SYSTEM delivered by: Mary-Louise Dieckmann](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051621/5697bfa11a28abf838c95c93/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Antigens (Non-self)
• Any substance capable of exciting the immune system and provoking an immune response
• Examples of common antigens– Foreign proteins– Nucleic acids– Large carbohydrates– Some lipids– Pollen grains– Microorganisms
![Page 35: HLT31507 CERTIFICATE III IN NUTRITION & DIETETIC ASSISTANCE THE LYMPHATIC & IMMUNE SYSTEM delivered by: Mary-Louise Dieckmann](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051621/5697bfa11a28abf838c95c93/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Active Immunity
• Your B cells encounter antigens and produce antibodies
• Active immunity can be naturally or artificially acquired
Figure 12.14
![Page 36: HLT31507 CERTIFICATE III IN NUTRITION & DIETETIC ASSISTANCE THE LYMPHATIC & IMMUNE SYSTEM delivered by: Mary-Louise Dieckmann](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051621/5697bfa11a28abf838c95c93/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Passive Immunity• Antibodies are obtained from someone else– Conferred naturally from a mother to her fetus– Conferred artificially from immune serum or gamma globulin
• Immunological memory does not occur• Protection provided by “borrowed antibodies”
![Page 37: HLT31507 CERTIFICATE III IN NUTRITION & DIETETIC ASSISTANCE THE LYMPHATIC & IMMUNE SYSTEM delivered by: Mary-Louise Dieckmann](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051621/5697bfa11a28abf838c95c93/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Organ Transplants and Rejection
• Major types of grafts– Autografts – tissue transplanted from one site to another on the same person– Isografts – tissue grafts from an identical person (identical twin)– Allografts – tissue taken from an unrelated person– Xenografts – tissue taken from a different animal species
![Page 38: HLT31507 CERTIFICATE III IN NUTRITION & DIETETIC ASSISTANCE THE LYMPHATIC & IMMUNE SYSTEM delivered by: Mary-Louise Dieckmann](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051621/5697bfa11a28abf838c95c93/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Organ Transplants and Rejection
• Autografts and isografts are ideal donors• Xenografts are not very successful• Allografts are more successful with a closer
tissue match
![Page 39: HLT31507 CERTIFICATE III IN NUTRITION & DIETETIC ASSISTANCE THE LYMPHATIC & IMMUNE SYSTEM delivered by: Mary-Louise Dieckmann](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051621/5697bfa11a28abf838c95c93/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Disorders of Immunity: Allergies (Hypersensitivity)
• Abnormal, vigorous immune responses• Types of allergies– Immediate hypersensitivity
• Triggered by release of histamine from IgE binding to mast cells• Reactions begin within seconds of contact with allergen• Anaphylactic shock – dangerous, systemic response
![Page 40: HLT31507 CERTIFICATE III IN NUTRITION & DIETETIC ASSISTANCE THE LYMPHATIC & IMMUNE SYSTEM delivered by: Mary-Louise Dieckmann](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051621/5697bfa11a28abf838c95c93/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Disorders of Immunity: Allergies (Hypersensitivity)
• Types of allergies (continued)– Delayed hypersensitivity• Triggered by the release of lymphokines from activated
helper T cells• Symptoms usually appear 1–3 days after contact with
antigen
![Page 41: HLT31507 CERTIFICATE III IN NUTRITION & DIETETIC ASSISTANCE THE LYMPHATIC & IMMUNE SYSTEM delivered by: Mary-Louise Dieckmann](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051621/5697bfa11a28abf838c95c93/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Disorders of Immunity: Immunodeficiencies
• Production or function of immune cells or complement is abnormal
• May be congenital or acquired• Includes AIDS – Acquired Immune Deficiency
Syndrome
![Page 42: HLT31507 CERTIFICATE III IN NUTRITION & DIETETIC ASSISTANCE THE LYMPHATIC & IMMUNE SYSTEM delivered by: Mary-Louise Dieckmann](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051621/5697bfa11a28abf838c95c93/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Disorders of Immunity: Autoimmune Diseases
• The immune system does not distinguish between self and non-self
• The body produces antibodies and sensitized T lymphocytes that attack its own tissues
![Page 43: HLT31507 CERTIFICATE III IN NUTRITION & DIETETIC ASSISTANCE THE LYMPHATIC & IMMUNE SYSTEM delivered by: Mary-Louise Dieckmann](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051621/5697bfa11a28abf838c95c93/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Disorders of Immunity: Autoimmune Diseases
• Examples of autoimmune diseases– Multiple sclerosis – white matter of brain and spinal cord
are destroyed– Myasthenia gravis – impairs communication between
nerves and skeletal muscles– Juvenile diabetes – destroys pancreatic beta cells that
produce insulin– Rheumatoid arthritis – destroys joints
