Lymph Flashcards
(51 cards)
Large glycoprotein responsible for viscosity and protective properties
Mucin
IECs turnover every 4-5 days enabling clearance of attached pathogens
Sloughing
Viscous barrier to prevent bacteria from attaching and crossing epithelium
Mucus production
Defensins that selectively target certain classes of bacteria
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs)
Recruitment and activation of granulocytes, myeloid cells, and lymphocytes in the presence of danger
Cytokines & chemokines
Potent inflammatory and repair cytokines such as IL-17 & IL-22 to protect the crypts
T cell-like cytokines
Absorption, mucus, digestive enzymes producing IECs
Enterocytes
Hormone production and stem cell factors from IECs
Enteroendocrine cell
Specialized mucus producers of IEC
Goblet cells
Specialized cells defending crypts in the SI & colon
Paneth cells
Antigen and microbe passage to GALT
M cells
On both apical & basal surfaces sensing bacteria in gut lumen and in epithelia
Toll Like Receptors (TLR)
Recognizes a diaminopimelic acid-containing peptide found in gram-negative bacteria
Nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain NOD 1
Recognizes a muramyl dipeptide in peptidoglycans of bacteria (Crohn’s disease)
Nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain NOD 2
-Polypeptides secreted by leukocytes and other cells that act principally on hematopoietic cells which modulates immune and inflammatory responses
-pleiotropic = multiple receptors
-redundant = sharing subunits (ligand specific)
Cytokines (5 major ones)
-Murmur sounds caused by stenosis and regurgitation
-diagnosis through:
Pitch
Location
Loudness
Bruits
Backup blood path if vessels get blocked
Collateral circulation
Controlled by global and local control of blood vessels
Organ blood flow
-precursor cell entering thymus cortex from bone marrow
Lack:
-TCR
-CD4 & CD8
-Prothymocytes
Double negative T cells
-Double positive T cells recognizing self-MHC
-But only express CD8 or CD4
Single positive T cells
-permeability barrier
-production prostacyclin
-trigger blood coagulation
-controls vascular growth
-modulate smooth muscle activity
-regulate traffic of inflammatory cells
Endothelial function
Orderly unidirectional movement in series of layers
Laminar
Arterioles maintaining a constant flow to an organ regardless of perfusion pressure changes (brain and heart 🫀🧠)
-myogenic or metabolic
-(no global 🫀or🧠 bc I’m smart & kind)
Autoregulation
Portion of blood functionally circulating
-majority of blood stays in systemic veins (reservoir)
Effective circulating volume
