A

agglutination - clusters and sticks pathogens together
opsonization - enhances phagocytosis of antigens
cell lysis - ruptures membranes of foreign cells

Q

pernicious anemia outcome

A

poor cell division of RBC precursors

20
Q

hemolytic anemia

A

premature cell lysis caused by Hb abnormalities

21
Q

thalassemia

A

1 globin chain is gone/bad
cells are thinner, fragule, Hb deficient

22
Q

sickle cell anemia

A

caused by thalassemia, 1 aa from G-V (-phi - -pho)
RBCs are crescent shaped, low O2, Hb polymerizes (sticks to itself, stretches cell)

23
Q

sickle cell treatments

A
  1. Hydroxyurea - induce fetal Hb formation , 2 alpha, 2 gamma
  2. Stem cell transplant
  3. Gene therapy - take cells out, fetal Hb in cells, cells back in body.
24
Q

thrombocyte functions

A

activate other platelets
promote platelet plug formation
enhance vascular spasm
promote regrowth of BVs
attach innate immune cells to site of damage

25
thrombopoietin made in
liver/kidney
26
nitric oxide and prostacylin
inactivate/inhibit platelets
27
thrombocytopenia
deficient #s of circulating platelets
28
petichiae
red patches due to widespread hemorrhage of capillaries. caused by RBM destruction and aplastic anemia
29
impaired liver function
two common pathway factors not working caused by vit K deficiency, cirrhosis, hepatitis bad fat absorb/liver disease prevent bile production and K absorption
29
vascular spasm
mechanical injury of smooth m. chemicals from endothelial cells platelets promote contraction
30
platelet plug formation
collagen fibers exposed (primary clot activator) platelets stick to collagen via von Willebrand factor. Platelets swell, become sticky, release chemicals. - Platelet activating factor & ADP - more platelets activate/aggregate - serotonin/thromboxane A2 - plate act/agg, enhance vascular spasm
31
clot retraction
actin (cs p) & myosin leads to contraction/shrinkage fo plug within 30-60 min, stabilizing clot. Squeezes serum out, BVs edges together
32
vessel repair
platelet derived growth factor - simulates cell division of smooth m. and fibroblasts vascular endothelial growth factor - stimulates endothelial cell production
33
fibrinolysis
removes clot within 2 days plasminogen (in endo cells) - plasmin (fibrin-digesting enzyme) - tPA (tissue plasminogen activator)
34
humoral immunity
b - cells antibodies identify antigens (foreign) circulate freely
35
cellular immunity
t cells act against target cells direct - kill cells using t-cell receptor indirect - release chemicals - enhance inflammation - activate other lymphocytes/macrophages
36
granulocytes
1-2 weeks to make, few fays to break
37
neutrophils
most abundant first responders granules have hydrolytic enzymes/defensins release chemicals - inflammation release signalse
38
eosinophils
release enzymes to digest multi-cellular paracites accumulate during allergies
39
basophils
granules contain histamines involved with inflammation and allergies histamine release = endo cells leakier signaling
40
agranulocyte
days to week to make, hours to years to break
41
monocytes
activate lymphocytes to launch immune response leaves BS - diapedesis - enter tissues - phagocytose
42
microfilaments
thin strands of actin that strengthen cell structure, enhances motility
43
intermediate filaments
resists pulling forces of cells tough insoluble fiber of keratin, neurofilament proteins
44
microtubules
large tubes of tubulin that determine cells shape, keep organelles in place, forms mitotic spindle, assists motor proteins
