25
adaptive immunity is what type of response
slow response (days to weeks), improves during response
26
clonal selection/ clonal expansion
specific lymphocyte receptors chosen to proliferate and differentiate of effector cells to kill pathogen
27
what causes the time frame of adaptive immunity
response of having to build effector cells to that specific pathogen
28
immunological memory
elicit a stronger and faster adaptive response, terminating infection with less illness, memory cells
29
memory cells create what kind of immunity
acquired memory/ protective immunity
30
primary immune response
first time an adaptive immune response is made to given pathogen
31
secondary immune response
adaptive immune response is made but with memory cells
32
leukocytes
WBCs
33
hematopoiesis
generate blood cells
34
pluripotent hematopoietic stem cell creates
leukocytes, erthrocytes, megakaryocytes,
35
in embryo, where are hematopoietic stem cells made
fetal liver
36
3-7month of fetal life, hematopoietc cells made where
spleen
37
4 to 5 month of fetal life, hemtopoietc cells made
in bone marrow
38
in adulthood where is hematopoietic cells made
bone marrow
39
hematopoietic cells divide into
common lymphoid precursor and common myeloid precursor
40
what are the three lineages of blood cells
erythroid lineage myeloid lineage lymphoid lineage
41
is the erythroid lineage considered immune cells
no
42
what cells are in the erythroid lineage
megakaryocyte, erythroblast, erythrocyte and platelets
43
megakaryocyte produce what
platelets
44
myeloid lineage produces
leukocytes, neutrophils, monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells
45
myleoid lineage is associate with what type of immunity
innate
46
where is the myeloid lineage found
blood and tissues
47
lymphoid lineage contains
leukocytes, lymphocytes, B cells and T cells and NK cells
48
lymphoid lineage deal with what immunity
adaptive
49
monocytes turn into
macrophages
50
lymphocytes especially B and T cells found
in lymphoid tissues and organs
51
primary lymphoid tisses are
bone marrow and thymus
52
secondary lymphoid tissues are
spleen, tonsils, adendoids, lymph nodes, peyers patches
53
lymphocytes travel by
blood and lymph
54
when does a lymphocyte stop recirculating
when encountering pathogen
55
step by step movement of lymphocyte
in blood, leave blood and enter secondary lymph tissue, leave and enter efferent lymph vessels, leave efferent lymph vessels back into blood by left subclavian vein
56
effector molecules are associated with
cytokine and chemokine | produced by immune cells
57
what are the cell surface receptors for B cells
immuoglobulins
58
what are the cell surface receptors of T cells
T cell receptors
59
immunoglobulins secrete
antibodies
60
immunoglobulin counterpart
antigen
61
antibodies also known as
antigen receptors
62
what are three types of T cells
cytotoxic, helper and regulator t cell
63
lady mary wortley montague introduced what
introduced small pox infection to help build immunity, 1721
64
Edward jenner
1796, innoculation with cow pox that did not infect people but would protect people from small pox
65
Edward jenner coined term
vaccination
66
who helped eradicate small pox
D A Henderson
67
does innate response generate immunological memory
no
68
without the innate immunity
adaptive immune response cannot be initiated
69
without adaptive immunity
infection can be contained by innate but not be cleared from body
70
what are the two mechanisms of pathogenesis
direct and indirect
