Lesson 1-3 Flashcards
(61 cards)
Rs of Immune Function
Recognize, Respond, Remember
Antigen
foreign proteins that stimulate an immune response
Antibody
immuno-reactive protein made in response to antigen
Pathogen
disease causing microorganism
B- Lymphocytes
plasma cells that make Ab specific to each Ag
Cytotoxic Lymphocytes
attack infected/ mutant/ foreign cells
Tc/ CD-8
T Helper Lyphocytes
regulate immune response
Th/ CD-4
Macrophages
cell that ingests pathogens and cellular debris
presents Ag to Th cells
Neutrophils
ingests pathogens and cellular debris
no Ag presentation
Innate Immunity
non specific
non inducible
no memory
acts early in immune response
Adaptive/ Acquired Immunity
responds slower but more efficiently specific inducible memory self- tolerance
First Line
Skin- physical and chemical
Digestive- HCl
Respiratory- hair and mucus trap
Tears
contain lysozyme
Sweat
contain dermcidin
Second Line
Cellular
Inflammation
Phagocytes
Complement Proteins
Which defenses are both innate and adaptive?
phagocytes
complement proteins
Steps of Inflammation
Initial phagocytosis Capillaries dilate and become permeable Foreign matter contained Leukocytes migrate to area Leukocytes clear infection
Signs of Inflammation
Redness
Heat
Swelling
Pain
Chemotaxis
Cytokines cause cells to move from blood to tissues
trail for phagocytosis
Leukocytes Migration and Proliferation
Cytokines travel to bone marrow
Stimulate production of leukocytes
increase wbc #s by 4-5x
Phagocytes secrete……..
Cytokines
Actions of Interleukins and Tumor Necrosis Factor
Communication b/t wbc
IL and TNF in Bone Marrow
make leukocytes
IL and TNF in Hypothalamus
fever
mediated by prostaglandins
