[Morphofunctional features of the immunocompetent system of harmoniously developed large newborns]
Abstract:
Immune system of 70 large newborns was compared to 50 newborns of an average weight. Large newborns showed domination of lymphopoiesis over epithelioreticulopoiesis in the thymus against the background of the cortical thymocytes apoptosis delay and decrease of the thymus hormonal activity; enhancement of myelopoiesis, T and B-zone hyperplasia in the peripheral organs, decrease of the immunoglobulins production, alteration of T and B-lymphocyte maturation. Inadequate response to the antigenic stimulus is characteristic for large newborns this resulting in a higher susceptibility of these children to bacterial and viral infections and tendency to the allergic conditions during first 9 years of their life.

Introduction to Lymphatic and Immune System
The immune responses can be categorized into two types: innate and adaptive. Innate immunity comprises nonspecific defenses we are born...
Functions of the Lymphatic and Immune System
The primary lymphoid organs, including the bone marrow and the thymus, serve as the maturation sites for lymphocytes. Secondary lymphoid organs, like the mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue, activate these lymphocytes and serve as...
Secondary Lymphoid Organs
The spleen is a vital organ in the lymphatic system, nestled in the upper left side of the abdomen. It is composed of two primary regions: the red pulp and the white pulp, each having distinct functions. The red pulp performs a significant role in blood filtration. It efficiently purges the blood of old or damaged red blood cells and...
Introduction to Innate and Adaptive Immunity
Innate immunity is the body's natural, nonspecific defense system that acts quickly to protect against pathogens. It incorporates physical barriers like skin and mucous membranes and cellular elements such as phagocytes and natural killer cells. This part of our immune system provides an immediate,...
Special Features of Adaptive Immunity
The primary cell types involved in adaptive immunity are T cells and B cells. Each type has a unique role in defending the body against pathogens. T cells are responsible for cell-mediated immunity. They identify and eliminate infected cells directly,...
Development of Immunocompetence
The initial cells that migrate from the fetal thymus settle within the skin and epithelial tissues lining the mouth, digestive tract, and in females, the uterus and vagina. These cells, including skin-based dendritic cells, serve as antigen-presenting cells, playing a key role in T cell activation.
Subsequent T...
