Q

How is phagocytosis in neutrophils

A

The pathogen is trapped in the neutrophil in a phagosome which fuses with the lysosomes that has lysozyme which creates a phago lysosome which kills and digests that

Q

How does basophil prevent blood clotting

A

It contains heparin

18
Q

Where are mast cells found

A

Connective tissues and mucous membrane

19
Q

Mast cells granules contains

A

Histamine and heparin

20
Q

Mast cells function

A

Wound healing
Microbal defense
Allergies
Link innate and adaptive

21
Q

What is histamine purpose

A

Dilate blood vessels

22
Q

What are macrophages

A

Large phagocytic cells that migrate from blood to tissue spaces for invading pathogens

23
Q

How do monocytes move

A

They circulate in the blood

24
Q

Neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils are

A

Polu morpho neuclus cells

25
What is chemokines purpose
Special chemical that attracts immune cells to the site of infection
26
Dendritic cells are present in
Tissues in contact with external environment
27
Dendritic cells are
Parts of antigen presenting cells
28
Dendritic cells function
Present pathogens to lymphocytes (adaptive immunity)
29
Dendritic cells are known as
Langerhans cells
30
Natural killer cells function
Destroy the own body cells when they become defective
31
Complement system definition
A set of 20 proteins used as a mechanism by the innate immunity system and it complements the actions of antibodies
32
Antibodies purpose
When they find pathogens they attach to them
33
Cells of acquired immune system
T lymphocytes B Lymphocytes ( they are WBC) And the antibodies produced by b and T cells
34
The human body has .... lymphocytes which is ....%
2 trillion | 20-40
35
T lymphocytes are divided into
Helper T cells (CD4) | Killer T cells( CD8)
36
CD 8 Function
Killing pathogens by directly interacting with microbes
37
CD 4 cells function
Secret growth factors and cytokines
38
Cellular immunity in adaptive immune system
T CELLS
39
Humoral immunity in the adaptive immune system
B lymphocytes
40
B lymphocytes purpose
Create antibodies for specific disease
41
What is osponization
When antibodies bodies find a pathogen and attach to it coating it in antibodies which mark the pathogens so they can be destroyed by other cells
42
Compare between innate and adaptive from response time
Innate immunity is more rapid
