Micro Exam 4 Flashcards
First Line of Defense
- innate & non specific immunity
- anatomical barriers- skin mucus,
- chemical barriers- sebum, eyelids, tears, menstruation, urine, stomach acid, ear wax
What do tears do?
lysozyme
thick sticky secretions. Mucin polysaccharide. Salty. Trap microbes
Mucous
Role of normal flora
- break down nutrients, carbs that humand could not digest
- opp pathogens at times of low immunity
- resident on sweat glands
- cause body odor
Define normal flora
microbes that colonize without causing damage
Makes skin more acidic. Oily prevention of skin cracking
sebum
Collection of phago cells, damaged tissue & inflammation, part of the 2nd line of defense
pus
5 Types of White Blood Cells
Never Let Monkeys Eat Bananas
Neutrophil
Lymphocyte
Monocyte
Eosinophil, E-3%
Basophil
little eater/ leukocyte 60-70
%
Neutrophil
20-25% 3rd line, adaptive immunity, granular
Lymphocyte
3-8% “Big Eater” in tissues, fixed or wandering, granular
- Monocyte
2-4% fight parasite
eosinophils
0.5-1% Histamine in granules, RARE
basophils
3 Types of Phagocytic Cells
- dendrites
- Monocyte/macrophage
- Neutrophil/PMN
How do phagocytes kill
TOCC:
toxic oxygen containing compounds
2nd line of defense
- innate/non specifice.
- PUS/inflammation.
- PAMP.
- Toll-Like Receptors
3rd line of defense
- aquired/specific
- lymphatic system
- Antibodies
- Kill viruses/parasites
- Cell mediated
PAMP stands for
pathogen associated molecular pattern
What do PAMPs do?
- LPS
- Molecular motifs recognized by TLRs
- acctivate immune response
Which cell recognizes PAMP
dendrites
What binds PAMP
Toll Like Receptor
What type of gene regulation is used in Toll-Like receptors?
Signal Transduction
Non-Catalytic, activate once microbes break 1ST LINE. Recognize molecules broadly shared by pathogens
Toll-Like Receptor
Who is part of the Toll Family
Cytokine & Interleukin
Molecule that has activity on a cell
Cytokine
Communication between leukocytes/neutrophils
Interleukin
Messenger between innate & adaptive. Process antigens & T-Cells.
Dendritic Cells
How do dendrites call neutrophils to the site?
- Dilate endothelium of capillaries
- leaky
- express sticky molecules
Leakage of fluid out of its container. Movement of WBC from capillaries to tissue surrounding them
Extravasation
The surrounding tissue. Movement out of circulatory sytem towards damaged tissue or infection
Diapedisis
Where do lymphocytes mature
Thymus & Bone Marrow
What does PMN stand for
polymorphonucler or leukocyte
4 Classic Sympoms of Inflammation
- Calor (Heat)
- Rubor (Red)
- Tumor (Swelling
- Dolor (pain)
Systemic Inflammatory Response or loss of blood Volume causes..
Septic Shock
Il-6, Il-1, TNF-a
- Cause High Fevers septic shock
- endogenous pyrogenes
- dendtric cells secrete by toll receptor
2 Jobs of the lymphatic system
- Filter
- Return Fluids
What is a “hub” for WBC
Where are the lymphoid organs
Thymus & Bone Marrow
2 Types of Lymphocytes
- T Cells
- B Cells
Where do T-Cells mature
Thymus
Where do B Cells Mature
Bone Marrow
What do Cytotoxic T-Cells do?
kill virus infected cells
TH1 help?
Cytotoxic T-Cell
TH2 Help?
B-Cells
MHC stands for?
Major Hisotcompatibility Complex (proteins)
MHC-1 type of cells?
Nucleated
MHC 2 Type of Cells
Dendritic Cells
What is the purpose of MHC
PRESENT antigen to T-Cells
