integumentary Flashcards
(9 cards)
dermis
strong flexible tissue
fibroblasts , magophages mast cells
fiber types: collagen, elastic, reticular
rich supply of nerves and vessels
critical role in tempreture
collagen fibres stretch and recoil
hypodermis
below the skin
fatty tissue which stores fat and anchors skin
sweat glands
prevent overheating
stress and heat
eccrine or merocine , apocrine apocien gland
immune system
nonspecific and specific
white blood cells
monocyte 5
eosinophil
lymphote
neutrophil 50 - 60
basophil
cytokines
small protiends secreted by the cells of the immune system
affect the behavior of other cells
signalling molecules
neutrophils
macrophages
TLRs
NK
lymphocyes
interferons:
signalling proteins by virus infected monocytes and lymphocytes
interfere with virus replicvation
interleukins
inflammation
proliferation of immune cells
increase antbody production
activation of immue cells
coagulation
step 1. platelets attach to the endothelium
2. platetes start to release fibrin and begin to seal the endothelium
3. the fibrin network troaps RBC and completly seals the endothelium
what is an antibody
produced by plasma cell
essential part of adaptive immunity
specifically bind a unique epitope
possesses antigen binding sites
members of the class of protiens called immunoglobuilns
fab - variable region of the antibody. tip of antigen
fc - constant region base of antibody
