What defense system is a surface barrier
innate (nonspecific)
What defense system causes inflammation using antimicrobials proteins phagocytes and other cells
innate defenses
What defense system uses T cells and B cells
adaptive (specific)
defenses
which defense is specific and which is nonspecific
adaptive is specific and innate is nonspecific.
What cells are humoral immunity and which are cellular?
B cells are humoral and T cells are cellular
What defense system causes fever
innate (nonspecific) defenses
which immune system is the first and second line of defense
innate
which immune system is acquired
adaptive
what are foreign materials in the immune system called
pathogens
what us considered a fever in a neonat
100 degrees or up
which immune system are involved when there are antigens or antibodies are involved?
adaptive
what is the first line of defense?
mechanical and chemical protection through the skin and mucosal membranes
what is the second line of defense?
internal nonspecific defenses... phagocytes, Natural Killer cells (NK lymphocytes), Inflammation, Antimicrobial, proteins, Fever.
is a seizure associated with a high body temperature but without any serious underlying health issue. They most commonly occur in children between the ages of 6 months and 5 years.
febrile seizure
a substance, typically produced by a bacterium, that produces fever when introduced or released into the blood
pyrogens
what cells are involved in the second line of defense always looking for growth or an abnormal growth
Natural Killer cells (NK lymphocytes)
anything know to cause cancer… abnormal cell growth, displasia (cells changing shape) is called?
carcinogen
abnormal amount of white blood cell growth is called
leukemia
five signs of inflammation
swelling, pain, redness, loss of function, and heat
is vasodilation or vasoconstriction involved in immune system
vasodilation
have the ability to increase an inflammatory response
(NK lymphocytes = Null Killer lymphocytes)
what’s causing that vasodilation
histamine, promotes inflammation
Histamine, kinins, prostaglandins, leukotrienes, complement mean
inflammation
what blocks viral reproduction
interferons
