Study Notes
Lymphatic System
- Lymphatic system absorbs fluids not absorbed by capillaries
- This is to prevent fluid buildup, also known as edema
- It filters fluids in the circulatory system
- Lymph nodes clean and filter fluids and return them to veins
- Lymph nodes act as checkpoints in the lymphatic system
Lymphatic Organs
- Bone marrow and thymus are primary lymphatic organs
- Lymph nodes, spleen, and tonsils are secondary organs
- These organs produce lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell)
Lymphatic Circulation
- Begins with the heart
- Blood is pumped through arteries, arterioles, and capillaries
- Fluids and nutrients move from capillaries into cells
- Fluids return to capillaries, known as reabsorption
- If reabsorption doesn't occur properly, edema will result
Lymphatic Ducts
- Lymphatic ducts are the largest lymphatic vessels
- They carry lymph (filtered fluid) to veins
- There are two main ducts: left (thoracic) and right
- Left lymphatic duct is larger and drains most of the body
Spleen
- Red pulp of the spleen contains red blood cells and macrophages
- White pulp of the spleen contains white blood cells (B and T lymphocytes)
- Which specifically turn into plasma cells
Capillary Dynamics
- Interstitial fluid has oncotic pressure, and blood has its own oncotic pressure
- Hydrostatic pressure pushes fluid into capillaries
- Hydrostatic pressure of interstitium and hydrostatic pressure of blood move fluids in opposite directions
- Capillary movement is controlled by pressures like blood hydrostatic pressure, blood oncotic pressure, interstitial hydrostatic pressure, and interstitial oncotic pressure
Integumentary System
- Largest system of the body, mostly the skin
- Consists of the epidermis and dermis
- Epidermis is the outer layer (keratinized stratified squamous epithelium)
- Contains 4 cell types: keratinocytes, melanocytes, Langerhans cells, and Merkel cells
Epidermis Layers
- Stratum basale is the deepest layer, responsible for keratin production and mitotic activity
- Stratum spinosum is the thickest layer
- Stratum granulosum, lucidum, and corneum have no mitotic activity
Layers
- Stratum Corneum: outermost layer, composed of dead keratinocytes
- Stratum Lucidum: clear cell layer, present in thick skin (palms, soles)
- Stratum Granulosum: keratinocytes begin to die
- Stratum Spinosum: numerous cells, abundant keratin filaments
- Stratum Basale: deepest layer, containing stem cells and melanocytes
Medical Terms
- Cyanosis: bluish discoloration due to inadequate oxygen
- Blue Baby Syndrome: birth defect characterized by bluish skin
- Arrector pili muscles: cause goosebumps
- Alopecia: hair loss
- Hair Hypertrichosis or hirsutism: excess hair growth
- Sweat glands, ceruminous glands, and osteomalacia and rickets are related to calcium/vitamin D deficiencies
Skin Cancer
- Basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma are common skin cancers
- Melanoma is the deadliest skin cancer, with high metastatic rate
Vitamins
- Vitamin deficiencies can cause various health problems, including impaired vision, beriberi, and pellagra
- Importance of vitamins for RBC production, bone health, and immunity
