Study Notes
T Lymphocytes
- T lymphocytes play a major role in cell-mediated immunity, recognizing and eliminating infected cells and presenting antigens to other immune cells.
Intracellular Microbes
- Some intracellular bacteria and protozoa can survive in phagocytes by preventing phagosome maturation or by escaping into the cytosol.
T Cells and Intracellular Infections
- T cells recognize and eliminate infected cells, producing chemical signals that activate other immune responses to combat intracellular infections.
B Cell Maturation
- B cells mature in the bone marrow.
Primary Lymphoid Organs
- Primary lymphoid organs, such as the bone marrow and thymus, are responsible for the production and maturation of immune cells.
Secondary Lymphoid Organs
- The brain is not considered a secondary lymphoid organ.
Lymphatic Vessels
- Lymphatic vessels transport lymph, a clear fluid containing immune cells, throughout the body, playing a crucial role in the immune response.
Lymphatic System Function
- As lymph travels through lymphatic vessels, it is filtered and immune responses are activated, allowing for the recognition and elimination of pathogens and foreign substances.
