Question 21

Our immune response includes what responses

Answer 21

adaptive and innate

Question 22

Is non-specific and non-adaptive. * physical, and
chemical barriers provided by the skin and mucous membranes. AND
* internal defenses

Answer 22

innate immune

Question 23

Physical-blocks,
traps, or washes out
microbes
 Chemical-acidic or
other antimicrobial
substances

Answer 23

barriers

Question 24

• Phagocytes
• Natural killer (NK) cells
• Antimicrobial substances
   Complement system
   Iron-binding proteins
   Interferon (viruses)
• Inflammation
• Fever

Answer 24

internal defenses

Question 25

abnormally high body temperature due
to resetting of the hypothalamic thermostat.
* Non-specific response:
 speeds up body reactions
 increases the effects of endogenous
antimicrobials

Answer 25

fever

Question 26

defensive response of almost all
body tissues to damage of any kind (infection,
burns, cuts, etc.).
* four characteristic signs and symptoms:
redness, pain, heat, and swelling.
* Non-specifically disposes of microbes and
foreign materials, dilute toxins, and prepare

Answer 26

inflammation

Question 27

The inflammatory response has three basic stages:

Answer 27

Vasodilation and increased permeability, Emigration (movement) ((of phagocytes from the
blood into the interstitial space and then to site
of damage)), and tissue repair

Question 28

allows more blood to flow to the
damaged area which helps remove toxins and
debris.
* Increased permeability permits entrance of
defensive proteins (antibodies and clotting
factors) to site of injury
 Other inflammatory mediators include
histamine, kinins, prostaglandins (PGs),
leukotrienes (LTs), and complement

Answer 28

Vasodilation

Question 29

of phagocytes depends on chemotaxis
* Neutrophils predominate in early stages but die off
quickly.
* Monocytes transform into macrophages and
become more potent phagocytes than neutrophils.

Pus is a mass of dead phagocytes and damaged
tissue.

Pus formation occurs in most inflammatory
responses and usually continues until the
infection subside

Answer 29

emigration
