(12 cards)
1
Q
List the Five Classical Signs of Inflammation.
A
- Redness
- Pain
- Swelling
- Heat
- Loss of function of the inflamed tissue
2
Q

A
- Cytoxic T Cells - Attacks the infected cancerous cells.
- Helper T Cells - Help in humoral immunity and cell-mediated immunity, but not non-specific immunity.
3
Q
Define Memory T Cells
A
Help remember specific pathogens encountered before, allowing the immune system to respond more quickly if the same pathogen infects again.
4
Q
What do B-Lymphocytes Produce
A
Antibodies
5
Q
Name the Four Cells in the Lymph Node
A
- B Lymphocytes
- T Lymphocytes
- Macrophages
- Dendritic Cells
6
Q
List 5 Functions of the Liver
A
- Detoxification
- Protein Synthesis
- Production of Bile
- Glycogen Storage
- Metabolism of Fats, Proteins and Carbohydrates
7
Q
What are the Three Functions of the Lymphatic System
A
- Recovers and returns excess tissue fluid to the bloodstream.
- Filters and destroys foreign particles (like bacteria and viruses) through lymph nodes.
- Helps with healing and repair, adapts the body to new threats, and acts as a defense mechanism by identifying previous exposures (immune memory).
8
Q
Name Two Organs which Help Control pH
A
- Lungs
- Kidneys
9
Q
Name 3 Hormones which Reduce Blood Glucose Levels
A
- Insulin
- Incretin
- Amylin
10
Q
Name the Hormones which Help Restore the Water Balance in the Body
A
- Antidiuretic
- Aldosterone
- Atrial Natriuretic Peptide
11

______ hormone reduces blood glucose and is produced by _______ cells of prancreas
A
- Insulin
- Beta
12
Q
List Three Functions of the Human Microbiota
A
- Aids in digestion by breaking down food and absorbing nutrients.
- Synthesises vitamins, such as Vitamin K
- Protects against harmful pathogens by supporting the immune system.
