Q

The immune system has two defenders systems what are they ?

A

Innate defences (skin, mucus membrane )

Adaptive defended are huge humoral immunity (b cells)
And cellular immunity ( T cells)

Q

What are the two lines is defence

A

1) first line of defense: physical barriers like skin and mucus membranes , vomiting , tears , gastric ujuices 2)

Natural killer phagocyte cells
Fever
Inflammation

Q

What are interferons ?

A

Increases resistance of cells to infection,

Slows down the disease

Complement system
Attacks and breaks down cell walls
Attracts phagocytes
Stimulates inflammation

Q

Name four types of interferons that discourage microbial growth ?

A

1) chemicals early warning system
2) !released by viral infected cells
3) !detected by neighbouring body cells that arm against virus replication

Q

During the the three stages the first one is called
Vasodilation :
What are the three stages of inflammatory response ?

A
  • allows more blood to flow to the damaged area and removes toxins and debris
  • permeability increases allowing entente to antibodies for clotting during injury
  • seen redness and heat

Q

Second stage is emigration

A

Emigration of phagocytes
Neutrophils dominate in early stages by die off quickly

Macrophages dominate growth and repair in later stages

16
Q

When activated lymphocytes go through clinal weld tom what two things do they produce ?

A

Effector cells
- active T cells , active cytotoxic trellis and plasma cell

And memory cells mynpart of immune response but rapidly on subsequent exposure

17
Q

What are antibodies

A

Specialized proteins that bind to epitopes ( partialbantigen)

18
Q

Define eosinophils

A

Emigrate
Phagocytosis
Control antiflammatory response

19
Q

Basophils are

A

Emigrate
Not phagocytize
Relearn histamine and for inflammation as well

20
Q

Monocytes and lymphocytes are agranular true or false

A

True

21
Q

Function of cytotoxic T cell?

A

Hold infected or altered host cell

22
Q

Helper T cell

A

Secreted cytokines which stimulated b and T cells

23
Q

Memory t. Ell

A

Diffferent from cytotoxic T cell

24
Q

B cell

A

Activates into memory B cells or plasma cells

25
Q

Plasma cells do what

A

Secrete antibodies

26
Q

T cells mature where after migrating from the red blood enmarrie ?

A

Thymus

27
Q

Describe your a blood ?

A

Surface Antigen A

Then your plasma contains anti b bodies

28
Q

If you’re type void b

A

Your plasma thus carries type A antigens

29
Q

If you have type AB blood

A

Your plasma has not a nor b antibodies

30
Q

If type 0

A

Then no A and b antibodies
