Immune Defenses & Lymphoid Tissues

Question 1

The body’s specific protective response to foreign agent/organism

Answer 1

Immunity

Question 2

Immune system consist of

Answer 2

Bone marrow and lymph tissue

Question 3

WBCs are formed in?

Answer 3

Bone Marrow, generated from stem cells

Question 4

Examples of Lymphoid Tissues

Answer 4

Adenoids
Tonsils
Lymph Nodes
Thymus Gland
Spleen
Some tissuesIn GI Tract, Respiratory & Reproductive Systems

Question 5

Lymphoid Tissues contain high amounts of WBCs. T or F

Answer 5

True

Question 6

develops throughout life as body is exposed to certain microbes/pathogens/vaccines; immune response is specific to the pathogen exposed to it

Answer 6

Acquired Immune system

Question 7

immune system/ response that sometimes makes errors and attacks self cells; involves B Cells and T cells

Answer 7

Acquired Immune System

Question 8

type of immunity where defenses are developed by person’s own body (by vax or contracting diseases); can last lifetime

Answer 8

Active acquired immunity

Question 9

type of immunity that is temporary & transmitted from another source ; ex; (mother/IV antibodies)

Answer 9

Passive acquired

Question 10

Damaging reaction of the immune system against “self” antigens; immune system attacking itself

Answer 10

Auto immune diseases

Question 11

Examples of Natural Immunity Line of Defenses

Answer 11

Skin
Mucous Membranes
Normal Microbiota
Phagocytes
Inflammation
Fever

Question 12

Leukocytes (WBCs) divided into 2 categories

Answer 12

Granulocytes- Neutrophils, Basophils, Eosinophils

Agranulocytes-Monocyte, Lymphocyte

Question 13

lymphocyte cells that make antibodies; turns into plasma cells & produces antibodies; involved in adaptive immunity

Answer 13

B cells

Question 14

lymphocyte cells that mature in thymus; involved in adaptive immunity

Answer 14

T cells

Question 15

Proteins that function as chemical messengers, allows cells to communicate

Answer 15

cytokines

Question 16

cells that engulf and digest microbes

Answer 16

phagogcytes

Question 17

nonspecific response; immune defense system you’re born with; involves barriers that are to keep pathogens from entering the body

Answer 17

Natural/Innate Immune System

Question 18

Examples of physical/chemical barriers of natural immunity

Answer 18

Cilia
Hydrochloric Acid
Enzyme in Tears/ Saliva

Question 19

lymphoid organ that stores and filters blood; storage are for lymphocytes & macrophages

Answer 19

spleen

Question 20

Antibodies aka

Answer 20

Immunoglobins

Question 21

cells that get rid of antigens & are responsible for humoral immune response

Answer 21

B Lympchocytes/ B cells

Question 22

cells that recognize foreign material. cells must mature before they respond; produce cellular immune response

Answer 22

T lymphocytes/ T cells

Question 23

T cells do not require maturation for response. T or F

Answer 23

FALSE!!!
T cells do REQUIRE maturation before response

Question 24

T cells mature where?

Answer 24

in Thymus

Question 25

B cells mature where?

Answer 25

B cells stay in Bone Marrow for maturation

Question 26

areas through out the body that remove foreign materials from the lymph before it enters bloodstream

Answer 26

Lymph nodes

Question 27

Must numerous WBC

Answer 27

Neutrophils

Question 28

What does inflammation do?

Answer 28

Limits injury part of Natural Immunity

Question 29

Syx of Localized infection

Answer 29

Erythema/ Redness Warmth Swelling/Edema Pain/Tenderness Pus

Question 30

Syx of Systemic Infection

Answer 30

Fever/Chills Cold, Clammy Skin Elevated WBC count Decreased Urine Output Tachycardia/Tachypnea Change in LOC Low BP Englarged Lymph Nodes Fatigue Loss of Appetite

Question 31

Examples of Infectious Agents

Answer 31

Bacteria Viruses Fungi Parasites

Question 32

3 types of Immune Responses

Answer 32

Phagocytic Response- WBCs that ingest. engulf. destroy Humoral Response- B cells/ antibody response Cellular Response- T cells that attack pathogens

Question 33

Stages in Immune Response

Answer 33

Recognition Stage Proliferation stage Response Stage Effector Stage

Question 34

stage where WBCs coat organism w/ antibodies/ recognizes antigen as foreign

Answer 34

Recognition stage

Question 35

stage where antigen message is received and dormant B cells and T cells prepare for destruction

Answer 35

Proliferation Stage

Question 36

stage where lymphocytes function in either a humoral or cellular fashion

Answer 36

Response Stage

Question 37

stage where antigens are destroyed by antibodies or killer T cells

Answer 37

Effector Stage
