37
First line of defense for the immune system?

40
Second line of defense?
Leukocytes
41
First responders to tissue being attacked (police)
neutrophils
42
They wander around in connective tissue killing bacteria, they eat the troublemakers? They phagocytize bacteria produce highly toxic chemicals which will kill both the bacteria and neutrophils and connective tissue, sacrifice for good body also use chemical warfare?
Neutrophils
43
These are kind of like the pest control?
Eosinophils
44
They kill parasites (worms) with toxic chemicals? They stimulate basophil's and mast cells to release their chemicals? They phagocytize and degrade Ag-Ab complexes? They secrete enzymes that degrade and limit the action of histamine?
eosinophils
45

Basophil's / mast cells
46
These release perforins which create a hole in the plasma membrane and they release enzymes which enter the hole.
Natural killer cell's
47
These are looking for something to eat? Some are wondering cells actively seek pathogen? Some are fixed like microglia in the brain, alveolar macrophages in the lungs, and hepatic macrophages in the liver?
Monocytes (macrophages)
48
Also a second line of defense?
Anti-microbial proteins
49

Interferons
50
30 or more globulins (complement proteins) synthesized in the liver?
Complement system
51
Complement protein stimulates mast cells and basophils to secrete histamine and other inflammatory chemicals?
Inflammation
52
Complement protein binds Ag-Ab Complexes to red blood cells which are stripped off in liver and spleen by Macrophages?
Immune clearance
53
Complement proteins assist phagocytes by serving as binding sites on microbes for phagocyte attachment?
Phagocytosis
54
Complement proteins form a hole in the target cell?
Cytolysis
55
Another second line of defense?
Fever
56
Abnormal elevation of body temperature?
Fever
57
Promotes interferon activity, elevates the metabolic rate and accelerates tissue repair, and inhibits reproduction of bacteria and viruses?
Benefits of the fever
58
As neutrophils and macrophages attack pathogens they secrete pyrogens which stimulate the hypothalamus to raise the set point for body temperature? When the infection is defeated pyrogen secretion ceases and the temperature is set back to normal?
Fever
59
Another second line of defense?
Inflammation
60
A local defense response to tissue injury of any kind ?
Inflammation
61
Limit the spread of pathogens and ultimately destroy then, remove degree of damage tissue, initiate tissue repair?
Purposes of inflammation
62
Redness, swelling, heat, pain?
Signs of inflammation
63
A. Mobilization of defenses Damage cells and mast cells secrete histamines causing vasodilation and increased capillary permeability to bring in white blood cells and plasma proteins. Vasodilation causes redness and heat Increased capillary permeability causes swelling and pain B. Containment and distraction of pathogens – Fibrogen forms clots that wall off microbes. C. Tissue cleanup and repair Macrophages cleanup Platelet and endothelial cells secrete growth factors
Process of inflammation
64
Third line of defense?
Specific immunity
65
Immunity is directed against a particular pathogen
Specificity

67
There are four classes of immunity, what are they?
Natural active immunity Artificial active immunity Natural passive immunity Artificial passive immunity
68
Production of one's own Abs or T cells as a result of natural exposure to an antigen?

There are three stages of immunity what are they?
Recognition Attack Memory
87
1. diseased or foreign cells display abnormal antigens in MHC-I 2. Antigen presentation, APC ingests diseased cell, displays a fragment and it's MHC –II and migrates to nearest lymph node. 3. T-cell activation TH cell binds to MHC of APC, is activated and releases IL TC Cell binds to MHC of APC is activated by IL from TH
