16
Q

neutrophils

A

leave blood and enter injured/infected tissues then phagocytosis then commit suicide.

17
Q

monocytes/macrophages

A

monocyte leave blood and enter tissue to become macrophages, then phagocytosis if tissue becomes injured/infected

18
Q

eosinophil

A

fight parasites, help mediate inflammation, responsible for allergies

19
Q

basophil

A

mediate inflammation, responsible for allergies by releasing histamine

20
Q

innate immune responde to tissue injury wehere cells release cytokines to cause swelling

A

inflammation

21
Q

main type of cytokines. activate pain receptors, filate arteries and arterioles, increase capillary permeability

A

prostagiandins

22
Q

elevated body temperature to increase immune cell function. caused by pyrogens acting on hypothalamus

A

fever

23
Q

immunity devolped throughout life in response to exposure of microbes, cancers, vaccines

A

acquired immunity

24
Q

molecule that triggers immunity due to an acquired immunity

A

antigen

25
Q

proteins on the surface of lymphocyte that have ability to bind to an antigen

A

antigen receptor
