CHAPTER 14: IMMUNE SYSTEM Flashcards
1
Q
ECF- bloodstream
A
- blood
- plasma
- serum
- hematopoeisis
- stem cells
- leukocytes
2
Q
RES: reticuloendothelial system
A
- network of connective tissue fibers that connect w other cells of surrounding organs
- inhabited by phagocytic cells (mononuclear phagocyte system)
- macrophages ready to ATTACK and DIGEST microbes that pass 1st line of defense
3
Q
Blood and plasma
A
- plasma and formed elements (RBC/WBC/Platelets)
plasma: 92% water, metabolic proteins, globulins (antibodies), clotting factor, hormones
4
Q
serum
A
liquid part after a clot has formed
this is the plasma WITHOUT the clotting factors
5
Q
Hematopoeisis
A
production of RBC
produce blood and bone marrow cells (RBC, WBC, platelets, lymphocytes)
6
Q
Stem cells
A
undifferentiated cells
- precursor for RBC, WBC, platelets
7
Q
Leukocytes
A
- granulocytes and agranulocytes
8
Q
Granulocytes
A
lobed nucleus
- neutrophil
- eosinophil (destroy euk pathogens)
- basophil (release chem mediators)
- mast cell (1st LOD for local invasion)
9
Q
Agranulocytes
A
unlobed rounded nucleus
- lymphocytes: B and T cells
- monocytes/macrophage (largest WBC)
10
Q
Monocytes differentiate into…
A
macrophage= final differentiation of monocyte
dendritic= trap pathogen and help the immune response
11
Q
lymphocytes: T and B cell difference
A
B cell= humoral immunity, make antibodies
T cell= cell mediated immunity, kill foreign cells
