Tell me which blood types can be mixed with type AB
Tell me which blood types can be mixed with type O
Can someone who is Rh- accept a + blood?
Someone who is A- is getting a blood transfusion. Doctors have AB- on hand. Will
this be a good blood match? Why or why not?
The Lymphatic System Objectives Identify the following components of the lymphatic system, and describe their general function: Skin, Macrophage, Helper T cell, B cell, Killer T cell, Suppressor T cell, Memory T cell Explain the process the body goes through to defend itself against pathogens The Lymphatic System Secondary circulatory system Collect fluid called lymph Interstitial fluid Yellow or colourless Similar to plasma Helps maintain the balance of fluids in the body Also has a role in combating infection The Defence System The body is constantly in contact with microscopic organisms Some are not harmful to us, and others are The harmful ones are called: Pathogens Pathogen comes from two Greek words that literally mean producer if suffering The body has three different defence mechanisms Physical defense Non-Specific defences Specific defence Physical Defense First line of defence Eyelashes Cilia Tears Stomach acid Keeps bacteria out Largest barrier is the skin Outer layer is dry Skin oil contains bactericides Perspiration forms an acidic layer Non-Specific Defences Also called, cell mediated immunity Neutrophils and monocytes kill bacteria using phagocytosis - they ingest the bacteria Macrophages also use phagocytosis Found in the liver, spleen, brain and lungs Also includes natural killer cells, which target body cells that have become cancerous or infected by viruses Specific Defences Also called antibody-mediated immunity Antibodies are proteins recognize foreign substances and act to destroy them Over time it can actually change genetic make up, leading to a unique immune system Primary function of the lymphocytes Specific Defences Antigens are molecules that are found on the surface of the cells and on pathogens Provide identification system Antigen receptors on T and B cells allow them to recognize foreign antigens Antibodies have the same shape as the antigen Specific Defences There are two kinds of lymphocytes B cells Made in the bone marrow T cells Made in the thymus gland Four kinds Helper T cells Killer T cells Suppressor T cells Memory T cells Lymphocytes Helper T cells: Recognizes the antigen, gives off chemical signals to stimulate the macrophages, B cells and other T cells Killer T cells: bind with infects cells and destroy them Can be activated by helper T cells or directly from the presence of the pathogen
Suppressor T cells: slow and suppress the process of cellular immunity to
ensure that normal tissue does not get destroyed Memory T cells: Remain in the bloodstream and act if the antigen is encountered again. Lets get this information down 1. Describe the difference between an antibody and an antigen 2. How do antibodies protect you against infection? 3. List and describe all the cells of the immune system 4. Draw or list what happens in an immune response, make a story out of it if you want. 5. Once youve done all that, draw the heart without your notes. Outline the flow through it. Call me over when youre done so I can take a look at it. Tuesday April 11: Disorders Research Arteriolosclerosis Anemia Leukemia
What is it/how might it be diagnosed, how is it treated, and how does it affect normal circulatory function
Once youve found those, your job is to research any circulatory,
lymphatic/immune disorder that interests you. Find out everything you can about it. Become an expert. Tell me about it in a write up. Organize it however you like. It should be no more than 2 pages.
