Lecture 3 : WEEK 1:
Name the primary lymphoid organs and their main Purpose
Primary lymphoid organ: where the immune cells are made and mature
1) Bone marow
HSC found here:
- Generation of B cell , and granulocytes( neutrophil , basophil , eosinophil and mast
cell)
- Dendritic cell
2) thymus
- Production of t cell.
basic overview of the lymphatics
- Lymphatic system: maintains homeostasis of
fluid in tissues
- Absorbs and drains fluid between cells that has
leaked out from the blood vessel.
associated distribution of lymphoid organs in relation
to their role in immunity
Document Summary
Name the primary lymphoid organs and their main purpose. Primary lymphoid organ: where the immune cells are made and mature: bone marow. Generation of b cell , and granulocytes( neutrophil , basophil , eosinophil and mast cell) Production of t cell. thymus basic overview of the lymphatics. Lymphatic system: maintains homeostasis of fluid in tissues. Absorbs and drains fluid between cells that has leaked out from the blood vessel. associated distribution of lymphoid organs in relation to their role in immunity. Name some major peripheral lymphoid organs and their location in the body. Figure of a thymus: bilbed organs and is part of primary lymphoid organ. Site of maturation of t cell consist of outer cortex and inner medulla lymphocytes from the bone marrow derived precursors. Here is where t cell precursor mature and are released into periphery: lymph node: High endothelial venule: lymphocytes migrate into and out of lymph node.
