بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم LYMPHOID TISSUE
CELLS OF IMMUNESYSTEM 1- Lymphocytes: B cells T cells: memory, TH1, TH2, TC, TS Natural Killer Cells. 2- Plasma cells 3- Mast cells 4- Neutrophils 5- Eosinophils 6- Antigen presenting cells
T-LYMPHOCYTES (زيادة عن المقرر) • Their plasmalemma has: 1- T cell receptors (TCRs). 2- CD molecules or markers ( cluster of differentiation proteins).
T-LYMPHOCYTES (زيادة عن المقرر) • SUBTYPES: 1- Memory cells. 2- T helper cells: Are CD4+ TH1 & TH2 cells 3- T cytotoxic cells (Tc cells) (T killer cells) 4- T suppressor cells ( Ts cells). N.B. Both Tc & Ts cells are CD8+
NULL CELLS (زيادة عن المقرر) 1- Natural killer (NK) cells: are cytotoxic cells. antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity. are non-B, non-T cells. are formed in red B.M. no need for maturation in thymus. Kill virally altered cells & tumor cells in non-specific manner. 2- Stem cells.
ANTIGEN PRESENTING CELLS(المطلوب فقط ما تحته خط) 1- B lymphocytes. 2- Macrophages. 3- Dendritic cells: e.g. Follicular dendritic cells, Interdigitating dendritic cells Langerhans cells. 4- Epithelial reticular cells of the thymus. N.B. APCs have class II MHC molecules (MHC II) but other cells have only MHC I
(زيادة عن المقرر) LYMPHOKINES • Are released by: 1- T helper lymphocytes. 2- Antigen presenting cells.
TYPES OF IMMUNE RESPONSE (زيادة عن المقرر) • Innate Response:(Fast, non-specific, no memory cells) By: Neutrophils, Macrophages, Mast cells, NK Cells. (2) Adaptive response: a- Humoral immune response b- Cell-mediated immune response
TYPES OF IMMUNE RESPONSE (زيادة عن المقرر) DC: Dendritic cells
LYMPHOID TISSUE A) Diffuse lymphoid tissue B) Encapsulated lymphoid organs: 1- Lymph nodes. 2- Spleen. 3- Tonsils(are incompletely encapsulated) 4- Thymus. N.B. Both red bone marrow & Thymus are considered 1ry. Lymphoid organs.
DIFFUSE LYMPHOID TISSUE • MALT: lymphocyte infiltration, solitary lymphoid nodules & aggregated lymphoid nodules. - Under the wet epithelial membranes. • Loose C.T is infiltrated with lymphoid cells (lymphocytes, plasma cells, macrophages, reticular cells). - Lymphoid Nodules
LYMPHOID NODULE(LYMPHOID FOLLICLE) • 1ry. : without germinal center • 2ry. : with germinal center
LYMPH NODE (L.N.) (A) 1- Capsule 2- Trabeculae (septa) 3- Reticular C.T. • Parenchyma: (lymphoid tissue + lymph sinuses) 1- Cortex 2- Paracortex 3- Medulla
CORTEX OF L.N. 1- Lymphatic nodules (follicles): a- 1ry: without germinal center b- 2ry: is formed of: Corona (mantle): Dark, Mostly B-lymphocytes. Germinal center: Lighter, mostly activated B-lymphoblasts with macrophages & dendritic reticular cells. 2- Subcapsular & Cortical (paratrabecular) lymph sinuses.
PARACORTEX Of L.N. • It is the thymus-dependent zone of L.N. • It is composed mostly of T-lymphocytes. • It contains high endothelial vessels (postcapillary venules): - PCV are lined with cuboidal endothelium. - PCV are the site of entry of lymphocytes to L.N.
MEDULLA OF L.N. (1) Medullary cords: are formed mainly of lymphoid cells ( B & T lymphocytes, plasma cells, macrophages). (2) Medullary sinusoids ( or medullary sinuses). N.B. Efferent lymphatic vessels drain lymph with B & T lymphocytes.
MAIN CELLS OF L.N. 1- B & T lymphocytes. 2- Plasma cells. 3- Macrophages 4- Dendritic reticular cells
FUNCTIONS OF L.N. • 1- Production of immunocompetent cells. • 2- Filtration of lymph.
STROMA OF SPLEEN 1- Capsule: is covered by visceral layer of peritoneum; mesothelium. occasionally contains SMCs 2- Trabeculae. 3- Reticular C.T.
PARENCHYMA OF SPLEEN • (A) White pulp. • (B) RED PULP. • (C) Marginal zone. • N.B. No cortex, no medulla. No afferent lymphatic vessel.
PARENCHYMA OF SPLEEN • White pulp: 1- Periarterial lymphatic sheaths: housing T lymphocytes. 2- Lymphoid nodules ( with germinal centers): housing B lymphocytes. N.B. Both 1&2 have the acentrically located central artery
Red pulp: • 1) Blood sinusoids • 2) Pulp cords
(B)Red pulp: 1- Pulp (splenic) cords (of Billroth): Extravasated blood cells, plasma cells, Macrophages & reticular cells and fibers. 2- Blood sinusoids: Are lined with elongated fusiform endothelial cells with large intercellular spaces & supported by discontinuous, hoop-like basement membrane.
(C) Marginal zone: • Between white and red pulps. • Rich in vascular channels (marginal sinuses), especially surrounding the lymphoid nodules • Rich in avidly phagocytic macrophages. • Contains plasma cells, T & B cells, macrophages, interdigitating dendritic cells. • It houses B cells that are specialized to recognize thymic-independent antigens. • Site of first entry of B & T lymphocytes from blood stream to parenchyma of spleen.
FUNCTIONS OF SPLEEN 1- Filtration of blood. 2- Phagocytosis of old RBCs & old blood platelets & invading microorganisms. 3- Production & proliferation of immunocompetent B & T lymphocytes. 4- Production of antibodies.
SPLENIC MICROCIRCULATION 1- Splenic artery 2- Trabecular artery 3- Enter the parenchyma as CENTRAL ARTERY ( in the white pulp) 4- Enter the red pulp as several straight branches named PENICILLAR ARTERIES (pulp arterioles→ Sheathed arterioles→ Terminal arterial capillary) 5- Blood sinusoids 6- Pulp veins 7- Trabecular veins 8- Splenic vein.
