CHAPTER 13: THE
LYMPHATIC SYSTEM
AND IMMUNITY
A&P II HS130
Professor Tracy Abram, MAIS, BS
Objectives
• Function of Lymphatic System
• Discuss primary lymphatic structures
• Compare nonspecific and specific immunity
• Compare active and passive immunity
• Immune system
• Function of B and T Cells
Lymphatic and
Immune
These systems work
together to defend our
body and maintain
Homeostasis!
What do you know about Lymph?
• Clear fluid: enters through left and right subclavian veins
• Collects between cells throughout body
• Active part of Lymphatic system
• Passive movement in lymph vessels via muscle
contraction
How is lymph formed?

Lymph fluid
• Formed from blood plasma
• Blood plasma filters out of capillaries
• Between tissue cells
• Also known as tissue fluid or interstitial fluid
• ***Circulatory system plays a starring role in assisting the
• Lymphatic system
Figure 13-3 page 340
Right Lymphatic Duct
• Responsible for lymph
drainage from right upper
extremity, right side of
head, neck, and upper
torso
Thoracic Duct
• Largest lymphatic vessel
• Contains pouch: cisterna
chyli (see figure 13-1
page 338)
• Drains lymph from about
75% of the body
Lymph Nodes
Primary function:
Defense and WBC
producer
Clusters that vary in size
along lymphatic vessel
Professor Abram’s Scenario Time!
• Artemio, Mary, Veronica, and Nikita go to this fancy, virtual
restaurant for dinner. Everyone orders their food: chicken
wings, sushi, rice, seaweed salad, peas and carrots,
steak, and salad. They are having a marvelous time
discussing A&P II when Artemio suddenly gets sick and
runs to the restroom (diarrhea).
• What do you think happened to Artemio?
Thymus
Endocrine gland and
Lymphoid Tissue Organ
Produces T-cells (Tlymphocytes)
Secretes thymosin
(hormone)
Vital to Immune Response

The discovery of thymus
function and of thymusderived lymphocytes.

Made of 3 masses of
lymphoid issue around
opening of mouth and
throat
Three types of tonsils:
•
Palatine- “tonsils”
•
Pharyngealadenoids

Spleen
Largest Lymphatic
Organ
Location: Upper left
quadrant of abdominal
area
Functions: Phagocytosis
of bacteria and “old
junkyard” for RBCs
Immune System
• What do you know about the Immune System?
Answer: Immune System
• Protects body from bacteria, foreign tissue cells, and
cancerous cells
• Made of groups of organs, cells, and molecules
• Let’s discuss the different types…shall we?
Nonspecific vs Specific Immunity
• Nonspecific
• Specific
• Innate immunity
• Adaptive Immunity
• Skin
• Two types: Natural and
• Tears and mucus
• Inflammation (figure
13-8 page 344)
Artificial Immunity

Natural Immunity
• Active:
• active disease
produces immunity
• **not deliberate
• Passive
• Immunity passed from
mother to fetus via
placenta or breast milk
Artificial Immunity
• Active
• Passive
• Vaccination results in
• Protection developed
immunity
• ***deliberate exposure
in another individual’s
immune system and
given to non-immune
person
Immune System Molecules
• What are antibodies?
• What is humoral or antibody-mediated complex?
• Figure 13-9 page 346
• How do Complement Proteins work?
• Figure 13-10
