Exam 3 Flashcards
Lymphatics
Functions (3)
Location?
- Immune surveillance
- Absorb large molecules. e.g. fats in small intestine
- Reclaim fluids from interstitial space back into circulation
*location: throughout the body but not in bones, teeth, CNS
Lymphatics
Tubes caring lymph (in order)- one way flow to heart
- Lymphatic capillaries
- Lymphatic vessels
- Lymphatic trunks
- Lymphatic ducts (two)
Lymphatics: Tubes caring lymph (in order)- one way flow to heart
Lymphatic capillaries
-small, dead end tubes
-mini valves between walls cells let fluid in
–collagen filaments attach them to nearby tissue cells
-lacteals: lymph capillaries of small intestine that pick up the chyle
Lymphatics: Tubes caring lymph (in order)- one way flow to heart
Lymphatic Vessels
-resemble veins with thin walls (but do have 3 tunics)
–have valves to ensure flow of lymph towards heart; flow aided by skeletal muscle pump and respiratory pump that enhance pressure gradient, flow also aided by arterial pulse, also aided by smooth muscle contraction in wall of lymph vessel
Lymphatic capillaries: LACTEALS
lymph capillaries of small intestine that pick up the chyle
what helps flow occur in lymphatic vessels
-have valves to ensure flow of lymph towards heart;
-flow aided by skeletal muscle pump and respiratory pump that enhance pressure gradient
-flow also aided by arterial pulse
-also aided by smooth muscle contraction in wall of lymph vessel
Lymphatics: Tubes caring lymph (in order)- one way flow to heart
Lymphatic Trunks
-jugular, subclavian, brachiomediastinal lumbar, intestinal
Lymphatics: Tubes caring lymph (in order)- one way flow to heart
Lymphatic Ducts (two)
a) thoracic duct (most of the bodies lymph)
-in front of vertebrae
-starts with cisterna chyli
b) right lymphatic duct (lymph from R head, R chest, R upper extremity
*both ducts drain into subclavian veins
Lymphatic Ducts: Right Lymphatic Duct
(lymph from R head, R chest, R upper extremity
Lymphatic Ducts
thoracic duct
(location, what does it begin with)
(most of the bodies lymph)
-in front of vertebrae
-starts with cisterna chyli
Lymphatic Organs
Nodes
(where are they, fed and drained?, what type of tissue)
-concentrated in inguinal, cervical, axillary regions
-pea-sized
-hilum=indentation
–fed lymph by multiple different afferent vessels
–drained by few efferent vessels at hilum
-reticular connective with many lymphocytes, macrophages
-follicles produce b-cells that can become plasma cells that make antibodies
nodes: Follicles produce…
follicles produce b-cells that can become plasma cells that make antibodies
Lymphatic Organs
Spleen
-size of the heart (fist)
-on L side of the body
-hilum faces medially
-Red Pulp: RBC recycling iron storage, platelet storage
-White Pulp: Lymphocyte surveilling blood for pathogen
Spleen
-Red Pulp
RBC recycling iron storage, platelet storage
SPLEEN
White Pulp
Lymphocyte surveilling blood for pathogen
Lymphatic Organs
Thymus
Location+ what does it do?
-Near Trachea+ Heart
-Larger in kids than seniors
-Helps development of immune cells
–Proliferation, specialization of T cells
Lymphatic Organs
Tonsils
-MALT: Mucosa Associated lymphatic tissue
–MALT is also in the intestine wall and the appendix
-surround pharynx to surville air and food that come in; have crypt
–palatine tonsils: mouth
–pharyngeal (nasopharynx) tonsils: adenoids
–lingual tonsils: base of tongue
–tubal tonsils: near opening of auditory tube
–palatine tonsils:
mouth
–pharyngeal (nasopharynx) tonsils:
adenoids
–lingual tonsils:
base of tongue
–tubal tonsils:
near opening of auditory tube
Respiratory Anatomy
External Nose
(what is the root, bridge, type of cartilages)
-root: frontal bone
-bridge: nasal bones
-cartilage: hyline
–septal cartilage
–lateral cartilage
–alar cartillage
Respiratory Anatomy
Internal Nose
(whats the linings, what bones)
-External Nares: Nostril
-Vestibule: has vibrissae
-Nasal Septum: Midline
–Septal cartilage, vomer bone, ethmoid bone’s perpendicular plate
-nasal conchae: turbinates: superior, middle, inferior, help warm. moisten. filter
–superior, middle, inferior meatus
-lining: Pseudo stratified mucosa, olfactory mucosa (superior part of cavity)
-internal nares: posterior nasal aerture
-lining:
a) in the nasal cavity
b) superior part of cavity
a)Pseudo Stratified mucosa
B) olfactory mucosa
