Q

What are the 2 categories of treatment for Viruses

A

Antiviral drugs
Vaccines

20
Q

What do Antiviral drugs do

A

Do not prevent disease
Reduce Symptoms -> Target viral enzymes/proteins

21
Q

What do Vaccines do

A

Weekend viral solution -> minor symptoms
future immunity
Viruses mutate quickly -> annual vaccines

22
Q

What is your immune system

A

Organs, Cells and Proteins that defend the body against infection

23
Q

What are the characteristics of Innate immunity

A

Time Within Hours
Non-Specific
no memory

24
Q

What is the first line of defense

A

Physical Barriers

25
What are the Physical barries in innate immunity
Skin, Secreations, Mucous
26
What is second line of defense
Internal defenses
27
What are the internal defenses?
Non-Specific WBC, complement system, inflammation
28
Do non-specific white blood cells only respond to just one antigen
No, many antigens
29
What is an antigen
Any molecule that stimulates an immune response
30
What do Macrophate + Netrophil do
Enguld foreign particles and pathogens
31
What do Natural Killer cells do
Target infected cells, release chemicals that induce cell death
32
What is the Complement System
proteins that assist with innate immunity
33
What does the complement system do
Enhance Phagocytosis Boreholes in pathogens Recruit WBC
34
What is Inflammation
Localized swelling, redness, and pain form WBC moving through capillaries to infection site
35
What is the Third line of defense
Adaptive Immune System
36
What are the characteristics of a Adaptive immune system
Specific to Pathogen type Days to weeks to activate Long term protection -> memory
37
What are the 2 types of Adaptive immune system
Response Type 1 - Humoral Response Type 2 - Cell-Mediated
38
What is the Humoral Response
B Cell(WBC) recognizes antigen - > binds to antigen Helper T Cell (TH) activated B cell to divide into plasma cells or memory B cells
39
What are plasma cells
Produce antibodies to eliminate extracellular pathogens
40
What are memory B Cells
Wait for reinfection
41
What is Cell Mediate response
Dendritic cell or macrophage breaks down a pathogen -> presents antigenic material on cell surface to activate TH/send for help and call Cytoxoic T cells
42
What do Cytotoxic T cells do
Attack and destroy disruptions in the immune system
43
What is immunodeficiency
failure in or delayed response
44
What are the 2 types of immunodefiency
Genetic Acquired
45
What is Hypersensitivity
incorrect response to harmless foreign substances
46
What is autoimmunity
hypersensitivity to self-antigens Antibody incorrectly markes self-component as foreign
