Section 11: Animal Forms and Functions 4 Flashcards
(101 cards)
The nonspecific first line of defense that offers generalized protection is the
Innate Immunity
This is the physical hostile barrier of the immune system covered with oily and acidic (pH 3-5) secretions from sweat glands
Skin
This is an antimicrobial protein (one of many) that breaks down the cell wall in bacteria (found in saliva/tears)
Lysozyme
These line the lungs and serve to sweep invaders out
This is the stomach juice that kills most microbes
Cilia
Gastric Juice
This is the bacteria in the digestive tract and vagina that outcompetes many other organisms
Symbiotic Bacteria
Part of the nonspecific 2nd line of defense, all WBCs originate from bone marrow but some multiply and become non naive in the ______
Another term for WBCs is
Lymph Node
Leukocytes
These type of cells engulf foreign particles/bacteria/dead or dying cells
Phagocytes
This phagocyte functions in destruction of pathogens in infected tissues.
It is drawn to infected or injured tissuesby what process?
They slip between endothelial cells of capillary (into tissue) via
Neutrophils
Chemotaxis
Diapedesis
This phagocyte moves into tissues via diapedesis where they develop into macrophages, which phagocytize debris + pathogens, are a profession antigen presenting cell
Monocytes
These phagocytes work collectively to surround and destroy multicellular parasites
Eosiniphils
These phagocytes are responsible for the ingestion of pathogens and stimulate acquired immunity
They mainly functions as APCs that activate….
Dendritic Cells
T lymphocytes
These phagocytes fxn in the allergic response, inflammatory response (histamine release), and anaphylaxis
Mast Cells
These phagocytes release histamines for inflammatory response
Basophils
Leukocytes engulf pathogens by
Neutrophils and monocytes enlarge into
Other WBCs are called _______, they attack abnormal body cells - tumors or pathogen infected cells
Phagocytosis
Macrophages
Natural Killer Cells (NK cells)
These help attract phagocytes to foreign cells and help destroy them by promoting cell lysis
Complements
These are secreted by cells that are invaved by viruses/pathogens that stimulate neighboring cells to produce proteins that defend against the virus
Interferons
This is a series of non specific events that occur in response to a pathogen, like when skin is damaged and bacteria enters the body
Inflammatory
During inflammation, this is released by basophils and causes vasodilation
Histamine
This is defined as an increased blood supply to an area, and an increase in temperature that stimulates WBCs and can kill pathogens
What molecule is it stimulated by?
Vasodilation
Histamine
Complements help phagocytes engulf foreign cells by stimulating basophils to release _____ to help lyse foreign cells
Histamine
This is the specific 3rd line of defense, it develops after the body has been attacked
The immune response targets specific
Acquired Immunity (adaptive immunity)
Antigens
This is the mechanism by which the immune system is able to differentiate between self and nonself.
It is a collection of what type of molecule that exists on the membrane of cells? They are unique to individuals and can function in antigen presentation
Major Histocompatibility Complex
Glycoprotein
These are primary agents of the immune response, they are leukocytes that originate in bone marrow but concentrate in lympathic tissues such as lymph nodes, thymus gland, and spleen
Lymphocytes
These lymphocytes originate and mature in the bone marrow and respond to antigens
The plasma membrane of them contain….
B cells (B for bone)
antigen receptor antibodes (immunoglobulins)
