DEMO – I (Spleen, Thymus, Tonsils & Lymph Nodes) DEMO – I (Spleen, thymus, tonsils & lymph nodes) Ali Jassim Alhashli Year III – Unit VI (hematology and immunology) STATION – 1 (Embryology) • The pharyngeal arches (mesoderm) are formed by: – Pharyngeal cleft from outside (ectoderm). – Pharyngeal pouch from inside (endoderm). • The developing embryo will have: – 4 clefts. – 6 arches. – 5 pouches (the 5th pouch is rudimentary). STATION – 1 (Embryology) STATION – 1 (Embryology) STATION – 1 (Embryology) • During the development of the stomach: – A connection between the stomach and the anterior abdominal wall will be formed and known as (the ventral mesogastrium). – While another connection will be formed between the stomach and the posterior abdominal wall know as (the dorsal mesogastrium). • The spleen (mesodermal in origin) will be formed between the two layers of the dorsal mesogastrium. STATION – 2 (The Lymphatic System) • The lymphatic system is composed of: – Lymphatic vessels. – Lymphatic organs (they can be primary such as the bone marrow and thymus or secondary such as the spleen and lymph nodes). – Lymphatic tissue (Mucosal Associated Lymphoid Tissue “MALT” and tonsils). • The most important groups of lymph nodes in the body are: – Cervical lymph nodes (see the figure in next slide). – Axillary lymph nodes (including pectoral, humeral, subscapular, central, apical and supraclavicular nodes) and they drain the are above the umbilicus. – Mediastinal lymph nodes. – Superficial inguinal lymph nodes. STATION – 2 (The Lymphatic System) Cervical lymph nodes Axillary lymph nodes STATION – 2 (The Lymphatic System) • The tonsils are also known as the jugulodigastric nodes are composed of: – Palatine tonsil. – Lingual tonsil. – Pharyngeal tonsil (adenoid). – Tubal tonsil. Note: these are going to form a ring called Waldeyer’s ring. STATION – 2 (The Lymphatic System) • Cisterna chyli: – It is a dilated sac at the lower end of the thoracic duct into which lymph from the intestinal trunk and two lumbar lymphatic trunks flow. – It is a retro-peritoneal structure located posterior to the abdominal aorta on the anterior aspect of the bodies of the first and second lumbar vertebra (L1 and L2). – It is going to form the thoracic duct which transports lymph and chyle from the abdomen via the aortic opening of the diaphragm (T12) to the junction of the left subclavian vein and the left internal jugular vein (left brachiocephalic vein). • Right lymphatic duct: – 1.25 cm in length formed by the right mediastinal, right cervical and right subclavian trunks. – It forms various combinations with the right subclavian vein and the right internal jugular vein (right brachiocephalic vein). STATION – 2 (The Lymphatic System) • Spleen: – It is extending from the 9th-11th ribs. Note that the 10th rib is considered the long axis of the spleen. – The spleen is attached to the stomach by gastrosplenic ligament. The short gastric arteries are found within this ligament. – The spleen is attached to the left kidney by the splenorenal ligament. Within this ligament, the tail of the pancreas is found so a doctor must avoid injuring it when removing the spleen (most of the islets of Langerhan are found in the tail of the pancreas. Therefore, if it is removed the person will develop diabetes). In addition, the splenic artery is also found within the splenorenal ligament and it is a potential source of bleeding when injured. STATION – 2 (The Lymphatic System) • Thymus: – It is located in the anterior superior mediastinum behind the sternum. – The stromal cells are developing from the 3rd pharyngeal pouch. – The gland is composed of 2 lobes connected to each other. – The shadow of the thymus can be seen when doing an x-ray for an infant or children but it is disappeared in adults because the thymus will be replaced by a fatty tissue (the involution starts at time of puberty). – Function: It is the site where immature T-lymphocytes proliferate and differentiate to mature T-lymphocytes: • Helper T-cells (CD4+). • Cytotoxic T-cells (CD8+). It also aids in the development of self-tolerance: which means that mature T-cells will not attack the own antigens of the body (no autoimmunity) and it secretes thymic factors: thymocin, thymulin and thympoietin. – Blood supply: by the inferior thyroid and the internal thoracic arteries. The venous drainage is by the inferior thyroid vein going to the left brachiocephalic vein. STATION – 2 (The Lymphatic System) STATION – 3 (Gross Anatomy of The Spleen) STATION – 3 (Gross Anatomy of The Spleen) Notice the gastric, colic and renal impressions in the spleen STATION – 3 (Gross Anatomy of The Spleen) Vasculature of the spleen Arterial supply: by the splenic artery (the largest branch of the celiac trunk). Venous drainage: by splenic vein which will merge with SMV to form the portal vein draining to the liver. STATION – 4 (Histology of Spleen and Lymph Nodes) • Spleen: – The spleen is covered with a capsule which is extending to the parenchyma forming septa known as trabeculae (containing trabecular arteries & veins). – White pulp: it is a lymphatic nodule with an outer dark staining area (PALS: Peri-Arteriolar Lymphatic Sheath) which contains T-lymphocytes and an inner light staining area (germinal center) containing B-lymphocytes. Note: the white pulp is characterized by the presence of a central artery (although the name is central but it is placed toward the periphery of the pulp). – Red pulp: it is the reddish-brownish substance found between the white pulp. It is composed of: • Sinusoids: which are dilated blood vessels with modified elongated endothelial cells. • Splenic cords: which contains lymphocytes, macrophages, granulocytes, RBCs, plasma cells and platelets. STATION – 4 (Histology of Spleen and Lymph Nodes) STATION – 4 (Histology of Spleen and Lymph Nodes) • Lymph nodes: – They are bean-shaped structures with a concave side know as the hilum (into which arteries, veins and efferent lymphatic vessels enter). – They aid in the filtration of lymph. – A lymph node is covered with a capsule which is penetrated by afferent lymphatic vessels. – The interior is divided into: • Cortex: which is made up of lymphatic nodules (with outer dark staining area and inner light staining area) containing B-lymphocytes. • Para-cortex (deep cortex): which is composed of T-lymphocytes. • Medulla: which is composed of medullary cords (containing lymphocytes, macrophages and plasma cells) and medullary sinuses (which empty their lymph into the efferent lymphatics). – Note: most lymphocytes enter the lymph node through specialized High Endothelial Venules (HEVs). Only 10% of lymphocytes will enter the lymph node through afferent lymphatic vessels. STATION – 4 (Histology of Spleen and Lymph Nodes) STATION – 4 (Histology of Spleen and Lymph Nodes) STATION – 5 (Histology of Thymus and Tonsils) • Thymus: – It is surrounded by a capsule which will send trabeculae dividing the parenchyma into incomplete lobules. Note: the trabeculae contain blood vessels and adipose cells. – Each lobule is composed of: • A cortex: which is having densely packed small (immature) lymphocytes and it is the site for proliferation and terminal differentiation of T-cells. The differentiating T-cells in the cortex are protected by the blood-thymus barrier which is consisting of (Epithelial Reticular Cell “ECR”, perivascular connective tissue and capillary wall). • A medulla: lymphocytes in the medulla are large mature T-cells. Macrophages, fibroblasts and mast cells can also be seen in the medulla. The unique feature which is characterizing the thymus is the presence of thymic (Hassall’s) corpuscles which are concentric, flat, degenerated type VI-ERCs.These corpuscles produce IL-4 and IL-7 which function in thymic differentiation & education of T- lymphocytes. Note that the medulla has no blood-thymus barrier. STATION – 5 (Histology of Thymus and Tonsils) STATION – 5 (Histology of Thymus and Tonsils) STATION – 5 (Histology of Thymus and Tonsils) • Palatine tonsils: – Epithelium: stratified squamous non-keratinized. – There are folds forming tonsillar crypts. – In these folds, there are lymphatic nodules with germinal centers in the middle (light staining). STATION – 5 (Histology of Thymus and Tonsils) STATION – 5 (Histology of Thymus and Tonsils) • Peyer’s patches: – Found in the ileum. – Also known as Mucosal- Associated Lymphoid Tissue (MALT). – Lymphatic nodules in Peyer’s patches are dark staining (with no pale centers). GOOD LUCK! .

The spleen is found pos- the clinic, most likely because conditions of the spleen do tero-latero-superior from the stomach, its arterial supply is not tend to present a defined clinical picture. Furthermore, via the splenic artery and the left gastroepiploic artery it has long been thought that the spleen, like the tonsils, is (Figure 2). The venous drainage is via the splenic vein an organ that is superfluous in the adult. into the portal vein (Figure 2). The spleen is actually the largest lymphoid organ in the body and is implicated within the blood circulation. In the foetus it is an organ involved in haematogenesis while in the adult it produces lymphocytes. The spleen is for the blood what the lymph nodes are for the lymphatic system. The spleen also purifies and filters the blood by removing dead cells and foreign materials out of the circulation The function of red blood cell reserve is also essential for the maintenance of human activity. Osteopaths often identify splenic congestion under the influence of poor diaphragm function. Some of the symptoms that can be associated with dysfunction of the spleen are: Figure 2 – Position and vascularisation of the spleen Anaemia in children Disorders of blood development Gingivitis, painful and bleeding gums Swollen, painful tongue, dysphagia and glossitis Fatigue, hyperirritability and restlessness due to the anaemia Vertigo and tinnitus Frequent colds and infections due to decreased resis- tance Thrombocytosis Tension headaches The spleen is also considered an important organ by the osteopath as it plays a role in the immunity, the reaction of the circulation and oxygen transport during effort as well as in regulation of the blood pressure.

  • Tonsils and Adenoids
    Tonsils and Adenoids 575 S 70th Street, Suite 440 Lincoln, NE 68510 402.484.5500 Tonsils and adenoids are masses of tissue similar to the lymph nodes or “glands” found in the neck, groin and armpits. Tonsils are the two masses at the back of the throat. Adenoids are high up in the throat, behind the nose and roof of the mouth (soft palate) and are not visible through the mouth without special instruments. Tonsils and adenoids are near the entrance to the breathing passages, where they catch incoming germs. They “sample” bacteria and viruses, but can become infected themselves. This happens primarily during the first few years of life, but less frequently with age. Children who have their tonsils and adenoids removed suffer no loss in their resistance. What affects tonsils and adenoids? The most common problems affecting the tonsils and adenoids are recurrent infections of the throat or ear and significant enlargement or obstruction that causes breathing and swallowing problems. Abscesses around the tonsils, chronic tonsillitis and infections of small pockets within the tonsils that produce foul-smelling, cheese-like formations can also affect the tonsils and adenoids, making them sore and swollen. Tumors are rare, but can grow on the tonsils. How are tonsil and adenoid diseases treated? Bacterial infections, especially those caused by streptococcus, are first treated with antibiotics. Sometimes, removal of the tonsils and/or adenoids may be recommended. The two primary reasons for removal are recurrent infection despite antibiotic therapy and difficulty breathing due to enlarged tonsils and/or adenoids. Chronic infection can affect other areas, such as the eustachian tube, the passage between the back of the nose and the inside of the ear.

  • Head and Neck
    DEFINITION OF ANATOMIC SITES WITHIN THE HEAD AND NECK adapted from the Summary Staging Guide 1977 published by the SEER Program, and the AJCC Cancer Staging Manual Fifth Edition published by the American Joint Committee on Cancer Staging. Note: Not all sites in the lip, oral cavity, pharynx and salivary glands are listed below. All sites to which a Summary Stage scheme applies are listed at the begining of the scheme. ORAL CAVITY AND ORAL PHARYNX (in ICD-O-3 sequence) The oral cavity extends from the skin-vermilion junction of the lips to the junction of the hard and soft palate above and to the line of circumvallate papillae below. The oral pharynx (oropharynx) is that portion of the continuity of the pharynx extending from the plane of the inferior surface of the soft palate to the plane of the superior surface of the hyoid bone (or floor of the vallecula) and includes the base of tongue, inferior surface of the soft palate and the uvula, the anterior and posterior tonsillar pillars, the glossotonsillar sulci, the pharyngeal tonsils, and the lateral and posterior walls. The oral cavity and oral pharynx are divided into the following specific areas: LIPS (C00._; vermilion surface, mucosal lip, labial mucosa) upper and lower, form the upper and lower anterior wall of the oral cavity. They consist of an exposed surface of modified epider- mis beginning at the junction of the vermilion border with the skin and including only the vermilion surface or that portion of the lip that comes into contact with the opposing lip.
