extraexam1 Flashcards
(45 cards)
lysozyme (tears and saliva)
chews up bacterial cell walls, actively trying to weaken/destroy pathogens
defensins (neutrophils)
form large pores in PM
dermcidin (sweat)
forms large channels in PM
interferon
viral-injected cells secrete this to warn other cells of infection, other cells release anti-microbial peptides to prevent replication
complement proteins(~20 proteins in inactive form)
agglutination - clusters and sticks pathogens together
opsonization - enhances phagocytosis of antigens
cell lysis - ruptures membranes of foreign cells
chemotaxis - attracts neutrophils and macrophages
leukopenia
decreased leukocyte #s
caused by virus (HIV), chemo/rad therapy, aplastic anemia
leukemia
increased leukocyte #s
myeloid - myeloblast descendants
lymphocytic - lymphocytes
acute - derive from stem cells, mainly children
chronic - slow progression
infectious mononucleosis
Epstein Barr virus - b cells become infected, t cells attach b cells
active immunization
introduce the antigen
passive immunization
introduce specific antibody
transferrin
deals with iron recycling and RBC production`
HIV
lyses helper T cells
warfarin
blocks formation of vitamin k dependent clotting factors - II,VII, IX, X
hemophilia a, b, c,
missing VIII, IX, XI
dibigatran
directly inhibits thrombin
heparin
released by basophils/mast cells inhibits thrombin by enhancing anti-thrombin III
anti-thrombin III
inactivates unbound thrombin
erythropoietin made
in kidneys
pernicious anemia outcome
poor cell division of RBC precursors
hemolytic anemia
premature cell lysis caused by Hb abnormalities
thalassemia
1 globin chain is gone/bad
cells are thinner, fragule, Hb deficient
sickle cell anemia
caused by thalassemia, 1 aa from G-V (-phi - -pho)
RBCs are crescent shaped, low O2, Hb polymerizes (sticks to itself, stretches cell)
sickle cell treatments
- Hydroxyurea - induce fetal Hb formation , 2 alpha, 2 gamma
- Stem cell transplant
- Gene therapy - take cells out, fetal Hb in cells, cells back in body.
thrombocyte functions
activate other platelets
promote platelet plug formation
enhance vascular spasm
promote regrowth of BVs
attach innate immune cells to site of damage
