Immunity Lymphatic system

Although most drugs are absorbed from the intestine by the blood capillary network in the villi, they can also be taken up by the lymphatic system (an integral and necessary part of the vascular system, the function of which is to collect extra tissue fluid and return it to the vascular compartment), particularly by M cells that reside in the Peyer s patch regions of the intestine. Peyer s patches have also been implicated in the regulation of the secretory immune response. Wachsmann et al. [277] reported that an antigenic material encapsulated within a liposome, when administered perorally, is taken up by these M cells and exhibited better saliva and serum IgA (primary and secondary)... 

The pulmonary lymphatic system contributes to the clearance of fluid and protein from the lung tissue interstitium and helps to prevent fluid accumulation in the lungs [108], The lymphatic endothelium allows micron-sized particles (e.g. lipoproteins, plasma proteins, bacteria and immune cells) to pass freely into the lymph fluid [103], After administration of aerosolised ultrafine particles into rats, particles were found in the alveolar walls and in pulmonary lymph nodes [135], which suggests that drainage into the lymph may contribute to the air-to-blood transport of the inhaled particles. 

Lymphocytes, mentioned in the description of the lymphatic system and its role in clearing paitieulates, have been the subject of much recent inquiry because of interest in the immune system (Golub, 1981). 

The common mucosal immune system (CMIS) is now well established as a separate component of the host s immune apparatus, quite distinct from and independent of the systemic immune system described above. Moreover, if an immune response is induced at one site in the mucosal system this generally leads to responses at distal mucosal sites of the CMIS, presenting a potentially large advantage. It should be noted that there are approximately 6 x 1010 antibody producing cells in mucosal tissues and 2.5 x 1010 lymphocytes in the entire lymphatic system. 

A variety of diseases affect the lymphatic system early in their time course. For example, many cancers spread by lymphatic dissemination, and HIV, fungal, and bacterial infections are located primarily in the lymph nodes. The high prevalence of lymph node involvement in disease is due to the role of lymphatic tissue in the provision of the body s immune response. Intralymphatic and interstitial administration are two efficient access routes. However, the oral route may also prove to be important for the lymphatic uptake of lipophilic drags and macromolecules.

The lymphatic system, also known as the immune system, defends the body against microorganisms and other foreign bodies. Additionally, the lymphatic system transports fluids from the body s tissues to the blood, thus helping to control fluid balance in the body. This system also absorbs substances from the digestive system. The organs of the lymphatic system include the lymph, lymph nodes, lymph vessels, thymus, spleen, and tonsils. 

Tuberculosis (TB) is a lower respiratory infection caused by bacillus Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which is commonly called tubercle bacillus and is an acid-fast bacillus (AFB). Tuberculosis is transmitted by droplets dispersed in the air through coughing and sneezing and inhaled into the alveoli of the lung. Tuberculosis spreads from the lungs to other organs via the blood and lymphatic system in patients with a compromised immune system.

Paramethasone stimulates the synthesis of enzymes needed to decrease the antiinflammatory response. It suppresses the immune system by reducing activity and volume of the lymphatic system, thus producing lymphocytopenia (primarily of T-lymphocytes), decreasing passage of immune complexes through basement membranes, and possibly by depressing reactivity of tissue to antigen-antibody interactions (see Table 11). 

A major component of the immune system is the class of cells called leukocytes, otherwise known as white blood cells. Like all blood cells, they arise from common precursor cells (stem cells) in the bone marrow. Unlike other blood cells, however, they can leave the blood vessels and circulate in the lymphatic system. Lymphoid tissues (such as lymph nodes, the spleen, and, above all, the thymus gland) play important roles in the workings of the immune system. 

An additional route of uptake upon peroral administration is the passage of the M-cells of the Peyer s patches [18]. Although this route in essence has only a low transport capacity, it is of importance for mucosal (peroral) vaccination, for example. The Peyer s patches are located in the small intestine where M-cells, which neither possess a mucus nor a glycocalix layer in comparison to the adjacent enterocytes, allow the drug uptake via transcytosis. The drug is then transported into the lymphatic system and causes an immune response in the case of the vaccination approach. Absorption via M-cells in essence is possible due to the decreased enzymatic activity and their rather high permeability. 

The lymphatic system is a series of vessels for transporting back to the circulation, the fluid, cells and macromolecules that escape from the blood vascular system. It is therefore an essential part of the circulatory system. In normal physiology the lymphatics therefore play a key role in fluid homeostasis and immune cell trafficking. In pathological conditions aberrant lymphatic vessel function is associated with conditions such as lymphoedema and cancer (Baldwin et al 2002). 

Stacker That is possible. We now know that the zebrafish has a functioning lymphatic system with both a fluid clearing abihty and circulating immune cells. On this basis, perhaps the cells have come first and the fluid clearing has come about as creatures have become more vertical, with an increase in fluid pressure. In the mouse and human there is a big difference in the lymphatic system because the mouse is not as vertically challenged as the human. 

The delayed phase occurs when the injured tissue is infiltrated by white blood cells. White blood cells (also called leukocytes or immune cells) are components found in the blood. They are also found in the spleen, the lymphatic system, and other tissues. They help defend the body against infectious disease and foreign material as part of the immune system. The three main types of leukocytes...
