Study These Flashcards
A

humoral (antibody) response

24
Q

what immune response is brought on by a previous reaction

25
what does it mean when the WBC is normal but the neutrophil count is high?
start of infection
26
cells associated with bacteria
B cells
27
cells associated with transplant rejections
T cells
28
type of immunity is associated with vaccinations or contracting the disease
active acquired
29
type of immunity associated with temporary immunity from outside source that has developed their immunity from disease or immunization
passive acquired
30
ways to acquire passive immunity
breastmilk & immunoglobulins
31
body fluids, protects against respiratory/GI/GU infections (immunoglobulin)
IgA (15%)
32
bloodborne and tissue infections, crosses placenta (immunoglobulin)
IgG (75%)
33
intravascular system, 1st antibody in response to bacterial and viral infections (immunoglobulin)
IgM (10%)
34
role unclear (immunoglobulin)
IgD (0.2%)
35
hypersensitivity reactions (immunoglobulin)
IgE (0.004%)
36
make vaccinations work
complements
37
functions of complements (3)
1. defend body against bacterial infections 2. bridge natural and acquired immunity 3. dispose of immune complexes and bi-products of inflammation
38
modify immune system by suppressing antibody production and cellular immunity
interferon
39
has antiviral and antitumor properties
interferon
40
have capacity of self renewal
stem cells
41
react to self
autoantibodies
42
have more autoimmune disorders
women
43
foods with high biological value
milk, eggs, soy, beans
44
help cells proliferate and help B & T cells mature
vitamins
45
deficiency can cause immune issues, cardiac issues, and osteoporosis
vitamin D
46
trace elements
iron, zinc, copper, selenium--found in root vegetables, suppress immune system
47
examples of omega 3 fatty acids
cold water fish, canola oil, flax seed, tofu, soybeans
48
suppress inflammation--food
omega 3 fatty acids
49
herbs that increase immunity
ginseng, thyme, garlic, licorice root, cilantro
50
veggies that suppress inflammation
tomatoes & onions
51
kill all formed elements
cytotoxic agents
52
indication of elevated ESR
active inflammatory process
53
cytokine is released during what
a humoral response--has short half life
54
C-reactive protein is released during what
inflammatory response
55
help the body discard immune complexes
C3 & C4
