immunology Flashcards
what are two adaptive immune disorders
allergies
asthma
what are two autoimmune disorders
rheumatoid arthritis
multiple sclerosis
what are the physical barriers of the immune system
skin
mucosal barrier
what is the innate immune system
Exists from birth
Non-specific
First to come into play
what is the adaptive immune system
Highly specific
Immunological memory
Antibody Production
what cells are involoved in the innate immune system
mast cells macrophahes neutrophils eosinophils basophils dendritic cells NK Killer cell
what cells are involved in the adaptive immune system
lymphocytes
= B cells
T cells
antibodies
what is the main role of the innate immune system
to be non specific and fight everything
will swell due to macrophages
how dose phagocytosis work
the bacteria is engulfed into a phagosome and then a lysosome with digestive enzymes fuses to it
microbe is destroyed and residues of microbe are released
what creates RBCs, megakaryocyte, basophil, eosinophil, neutrophils, monocytes
myeloid progenitor
what dose the common lymphoid progenitor do
makes B lymphocytes, T lymphocytes, NK cells
what do macrophages do
restrict blood flow
Contraction of endothelial cells
Produce Cytokines to alert other cells
phagocytosis
what two granulocytes fight paracites
eosinophil
basophil
