6
Q
What is Species Resistance?
A
Refers to the fact that certain species are resistant to diseases that affect other species
7
Q
Species Resistance: Certain species do not have
A

13
Q
Chemical Barriers: Interferons block
A
viral replication, act against growth of tumors, stimulate phagocytosis
14
Q

A
proteins that protect against many bacteria, yeast, and some viruses
16
Q
Chemical Barriers: Complement is a group of
A
proteins in plasma and other body fluids that stimulates inflammation, attracts phagocytes and enhances phagocytes
17

A
lymphocytes
18
Q
NK cells are very different from
A
B CElls and T cells that provide adaptive defenses
19
Q
NK Cells defend against
A
viruses and cancer cells by secreting cytolytic substances called perforins, that lyse celll membrane
20
Q
NK cells also enhance
A
inflammation
21
Q
Blood vessels dilate, cpaillary permeability increases and fluid leaks into tissue spaces results in
A
tissue become red, swollen, wamr and painful
22
Q
White blood cells invade the region resulting in
A
Pus forming as white blood cells, bacterial cells, and cellular debris accumulate
23
Q
Tissue fluids containing cloting factors seep into the area resulting in
A
a clot containing threads of fibrin may form
24
Q
Fibroblasts arrive results in
A
connective tissue sac may form around the injured tisseus
25
Phagocytes are active resulting in
bacteria, dead cells, adn other debris are removed
26
Cells divide resulting in
newly formed cells replacing injured one
27
Phagocytosis: Removes
foreign particles from the lymph
28
Phagocytosis: In the blood vessels and the tissues of the spleen, liver ,or bone marrow remove
particles from blood
29
Phagocytosis: Most aactive phagocytic cells are
neutrophils and monocytes
30
Phagocytosis: Chemicals from damaged tissues attract
these phagocytic cells to the injury, this is called chemotaxis
31
Phagocytosis: Monocytes that leave the blood become
macrophages, which can be free or fixed in tissues
32
Mononuclear Phagocytic System consists of
monocytes and macrophages of the body
33
Fever begins when
viral or bacterial infection stiulates lymphocytes to proliferate, producing cells that secrete a substance called interleukin 1 (IL-1) which raises thermoregulatory set point
34
IL-1 is also called
endogenous pyrogen
35
Fever : Elevated body temperature indirectly inhibits
microbial growth
causes liver and spleel to take up iron, making it unavilable for bacteria and fungi to use in their nromal metabolism
36
Third line of defense is resistance to
particular pathogens or to their toxins or metabolic by products
37
Adaptive DEfense response based on
ability to distinguish molecules that are part of the body from "non-self"
38
Antigens are
non-self molecules that can elicit an immune response
39
Adaptive responses are carried out by
lymphocytes and macrophages that can recognize specific antigens
40
Two types of adaptive defenses?
CEllular Immune Response (Perofrmed by Immune Cells)
Humoral Immune REsponse (Performed by Antibodies)
41
Receptors on the surface of lymphocytes enable
the cells to recognize non-self antigens
42
Antigens may be
proteins
polysaccharides
Glycoproteins
Glycolipids
43
The most effective antigens are
large and complex molecules
44
Haptens are
small molecules that are not antigenic by themselves, but when they combine with large molecule in the body, they can evoke an immune repsonse
45
Red bone marrow releases
unspecialized lymphocytte precursors into blood
46
T Cells specialize in
thymus
47
After T Cells released from Thymus, make up
70-80% of circulating lymphocytes
48
Some T cells settle in
lymphatic organs, such as lymph nodes, thoracic duct, white pulp on spleen
49
After B cells released from bone marrow, make up
20-30% of lymphoctes in blood
50
B cells abundant in
lymph nodes, spleen, bone marrow, intestinal lining
51
Step one in lymphocyte origin
Stem cells in red bone marrow give rise to lymphocyte precursors
52
Step 2 in lymphocyte origin
Some lymphocyte precursors are processed in the thymus to become T cells
53
Step 3 in lymphocyte origin
Some lymphocyte precursors are processed within the bone marrow to become b cells
54
Step four in lymphocyte origin

70-80% of the circulating lymphocytes in blood
60
Primary Locations of B Cells
Lymphatic Tissues
20-30% of the circulating lymphocytes in blood
61
Primary function of T Cells
Provide cellular immune response in which T Cells interact directly with the antigens or antigen bearing agents, to destroy them
62
Primary function of B Cells
Provide humoral immune response in which B cells interact indirectly, producing antibodies that destroy the antigens or antigen-bearing agents
63
A lymphocyte must be activated before
it can respond to an antien
64
T Cell activation requires that
antigenic fagments be attached to anti-gen presenting cell (APC) such as macrophages, b cells, and several other types
65
T Cells can secrete polypeptides called
cytokines, which enhance some cellular responses to antigens
66
What are Helper T Cells
Activate other cells; help B cells produce antibodies
67
What are Cytotoxic T Cells
Attack virally-infected or cancerous cells
68
What are Memory T Cells
Provide future immune protection
69
What are four different cytokines
Colony-Stimulating Factors
Interferons
Interleukins
Tumor Necrosis Factor
70
Function of Colony-Stimulating Factors
Stimulate bone marrow to produce lymphocytes
71
Function of Interferons
Bloc viral replication, stimulate macrophages to engulf viruses, stimulate B cells to produce antibodies, attack cancer cells
72
Function of Interleukins
Conrol lymphocyte differentiation and proliferation
73
Function of Tumor Neecrosis Factor
Stops tumor growth, releases growth factors, causes fever that accompanies bacterial infection, stimulation lymphocyte differentiation
74
B cells can be activated when
an antigen fits the shape of their receptors, and binds to them
75
Further B Cell activation requires
cytokines from T Cells
76
Once proper cytokines are released from Helper T Cells, B Cells respond by
proliferating, enlarging clone of identical cells
77
Some new B cells become
memory B cells, which provide future immunity
78
Other new B cells differentiate into
plasma cells, which produce and secree large globular proteins called antibodies or immunoglobulins
79
B cell prolifertion both
dormant memory B cells and antibody-secreting plasma cells
80
B Cell Activities: Step 1
Antigen-bearing agents enter tisseus
81
B Cell Activities: Step 2
B cell encounters an antigen that fits its antigen receptors
82
B Cell Activities: Step 3
Either alone or more often in conjuction with helper T cells, the B cell is activated. The B cell proliferates, enlaring its clone
83
B Cell Activities: Step 4
Some of the newly formed B cells differentiate further to become plasma cells
84
B Cell Activities: Step 5
Plasma cells synthesize and secrete antibodies whose molecular structure is similar to the activated B Cells antigen receptors
85
T Cell Activites: Step 1
Antigen-bearing agents enter tisseus
86
T Cell Activites: Step 2
An accessory cell, such as a macrophage, phagocytizes the antigen-bearing agent, and the macrophages lysosomes digest the agent
87
T Cell Activites: Step 3
Antigens from the digested antigen-bearing agents are displayed on the membrane of the accessory cell
88
T Cell Activites: Step 4
Helper T cell becomes activated when it encounters a displayed antigen that fits its antigen receptors
89
T Cell Activites: Step 5
Activated helper T cell releases cytokines when it encounters a B cell that has previously combined with an identical antigen-bearing agent
90
T Cell Activites: Step 6
Cytokines stimulate the B cell to proliferate , enlarging its clone
91
T Cell Activites: Step 7
Some of the newly forme dB cells give rise ot cells that differentiate into antibody-secreting plasma cells
