A

2nd LOD innate immunity; leukocytes/blood

18
Q

blood

A

cellular barrier composed of plasma and cells

19
Q

plasma

A

contains complement proteins, chemokines, cytokines, transferrin, and antibodies

20
Q

chemokines

A

chemotactic agents that promote phagocyte migration

21
Q

cytokines

22
Q

blood cells all originate in

23
Q

granulocytes (4)

A

basophils, mast cells, eosinophils, neutrophils

24
Q

basophil

A

granulocyte that releases histamine; very few population

25
mast cells
granulocyte that releases histamine; found beneath epithelial layers throughout body
26
neutrophil
granulocyte that is 1st responder; commit suicide to use their DNA as a net to capture invaders
27
agranulocytes (4)
monocytes, macrophages, B lymphocyte, T lymphocyte
28
monocytes
agranulocyte; immature macrophage
29
macrophage
agranulocyte that eats dead human cells and pathogens
30
different types of macrophages (4*)
dendritic, alveolar, wandering, microglia
31
B lymphocyte
agranulocyte that produces immunoglobulins
32
T lymphocytes
agranulocyte activates B cells (T helper) and kill infected body cells (T cytotoxic)
