Immunology Flashcards
(14 cards)
reticuloendothelial cells
lymphocytes and monocytes
mediators of humoral immunity
B lymphocytes
mediators of cell-mediated immunity
T lymphocytes
cells of innate immunity
natural killer cells
first line of defense
- skin (stratified squamous epithelium)
- respiratory tract (pseudostratified columnarepithelium)
- sebum oil (sebaceous glands)
- sweat (lactic acid makes the sweat salty)
- digestive tract (produce acidity)
- cerumen (earwax)
- mouth (saliva has lysozyme)
- congenital tract (vaginal acidity)
this phagocytic cells will attack the microorganisms in the skin
- neutrophils
- monocytes
- mast cells
cellular components of the first line of defense
mast cells, neutrophils, macrophages
humoral components of the first line of defense
complement system, lysozyme, interferon
detection of microbial agents is carried out by __
sentinel cells
macrophages and dendritic cells
what will increase if the degree of inflammation is extensive?
increase of acute phase protein
main cellular component in adaptive immunity
lymphocytes
cellular components in the third line of defense
lymphocytes
humoral components during adaptive immunity
antibodies and cytokines
