chapter 14 Flashcards
(32 cards)
innate immunity
non-specific; tries to stop any invader
branch of immune system that clears 90% of infections; subclinical
innate
adaptive immunity
cell-mediated specific response directed against one invader
branch of immune system that clears only 10% of infection; controlled
adaptive
1st line of defense is ____ immunity response
innate
barriers that prevent pathogen entry (1st line of defense)
intact skin, barriers, mucous membranes, chemical barriers
physical barriers
innate; intact skin and mucous membranes
chemical barriers
innate; lysozymes, psoriasin, gastric juice, defensin
parenteral route
injection thru skin (ex. bites and needles)
mucous membranes
most common physical barrier entry point; thin and alive
1st line of defense include the ___ barriers and ___ barriers
physical and chemical
lysozyme
chemical barrier that digests peptidoglycan and cuts NAG-NAM bond
psoriasin
chemical barrier on skin that destroys E. coli
gastric juice
chemical barrier in digestive system that has low pH (is acidic) and digestive enzymes that destroy most organisms
defensins
chemical barrier secreted by epithelial cells that have (+) charge and can poke holes in bacterial membranes
enzymes that prevent defensin from attacking human cells
flippase, floppase, scramblase
cellular barriers
2nd LOD innate immunity; leukocytes/blood
blood
cellular barrier composed of plasma and cells
plasma
contains complement proteins, chemokines, cytokines, transferrin, and antibodies
chemokines
chemotactic agents that promote phagocyte migration
cytokines
interleukins
blood cells all originate in
bone marrow
granulocytes (4)
basophils, mast cells, eosinophils, neutrophils
basophil
granulocyte that releases histamine; very few population
