16
Q

Shift to the left

A

Increase in Bands (= immature neutrophils) indicating BACTERIAL infection

17
Q

Increased lymphocytes indicate

A

VIRAL infection

18
Q

Leukocytosis indicates

A

inflammation

19
Q

Resolution healing

A

minimal tissue damage

20
Q

Regeneration

A

Damaged tissue replaced by functional tissue

21
Q

Replacement

A

Functional tissue is replaced by scar tissue

22
Q

Hypertrophic scar tissue

A

Fibrous tissue with lots of collagen deposits

Ex: keloid formation

23
Q

Ulcerations

A

Cause further tissue breakdown and impairs blood supply to the area

24
Q

MHC 1

A

On all nucleated cells to prevent immune cells from destroying self cells

25
Q

MHC 2

A

On immune cells, antigen-presenting cells, B Cells, and macrophages that have engulfed an antigen

26
Q

IgG

A

Smallest (can cross placenta)
Main antibody in subsequent response
Antitoxic, antiviral, antibacterial

27
Q

IgM

A

First in the initial response to an antigen
Large size - stays in the blood
Activates the complement system
Found on B cell surfaces with IgD

28
Q

IgA

A

Part of the mucous membrane, skin, and first line of defense
Passed through break feeding
Anti-viral and anti-bacterial

29
Q

IgD

A

On B cell membranes with IgM

Stimulates B cells

30
Q

IgE

A

Allergies and parasites
Attaches to mast cells and basophils - releases histamine/triggers inflammatory response
Type I hypersensitivity

31
Q

Titre

A

Measures levels of serum immunoglobulins

32
Q

Indirect Coombs Test

A

detects Rh in blood (for blood transfusions)

33
Q

Elisa

A

Detects for HIV antibodies

34
Q

MHC typing

A

Tissue matching before transplant procedures
