born with

42

A

mucosa associated lymphatic tissue

MALT

44
Q

palatine

48
Q

what is the next defense after a microbe gets past the first line of defense

A

phagocytes, natural killer cells

49
Q

what gets to the site of the infection first

A

neutrophils, then morph into macrophages

50
Q

inflammatory process:

stage 1 - vasodilation & increased permeability

A

artery widens and becomes leakier = increased blood flow

brings in phagocytes for clean up, removes toxins

accounts for 3/5 stages of inflammation

51
Q

in stage 1 of inflammatory process what signs are present

A

redness, swelling, heat

52
Q

what happens in stage 2 of the inflammatory process

A

neutrophils squeeze through the artery wall to damaged tissue

try to destroy microbes

monocytes arrive

accumulation of dead phagocytes = pus

53
Q

what happens in stage 3 of inflammatory process

A

TISSUE REPAIR

carried out by phagocytes to clean up

proliferation and remodeling begins

54
Q

what antibody is breast milk

A

IgA

55
Q

what is located on antigen producing cells

A

MHC II molecules

56
Q

what is the distinguishes the adaptive immune system from the innate immune system

ability to provoke an immune response

58
Q

in cell mediated immunity what cells are activated
