Q

Lymphatic capillaries characteristics

A
  • more permeable than blood capillaries

25
Where do pre-b and pre-t cells originate from?
Red bone marrow B cells mature in marrow and are released into blood Pre-t enter blood and go to thymus
26
Where to T cells mature at
The thymus
27
What is immunity
The ability to resist damage from foreign substances
28
Physical barriers, chemical mediators , and cells constitute which type of immunity
Innate or nonspecific
29
Specificity and memory constitute what type of immunity
Adaptive or specific
30
Examples of innate immunity
Skin, mucous membranes | Cilia in the respiratory tract, coughing and sneezing
31
2 major phagocytes of innate immunity
Neutrophils and macrophages
32
Which innate immunity cells are inflammatory cells that expel histamine
Basophils and mast cells
33
Which cells break down histamines and spray enzymes in a worm infection or parasites
Eosinophils
34
Which cells lyse tumors and infected viral cells. Able to recognizes classes of cells and not specific type
Natural killer cells
35
Rubor, tumor, dolor, and calor are symptoms sof what type of inflammatory response
Local
36
What type of inflammatory response causes fever, increased neutrophil numbers and increased vascular permeability
Systemic
37
What is the term for increased vascular permeability and increased blood flow
Chemotaxis
38
Type of adaptive b cells
Humoral or antibody-mediated
39
Describe the inflammatory response
Bacteria enters tissue, tissue damage occurs, chemical mediators are released, chemotaxis occurs, WBC numbers and chemical mediators increase at the site of damage where bacteria is contained destroyed and phagocytized
40
Types of adaptive immunity cells
Humoral or antibody mediated B CELLS | Cell-mediated T cells
41
What are two ways activation | _Of lymphocytes can occur
Antigenic receptors(t-cell receptors and b-cell receptors) OR major histocompatibility complex MHC
42
Specific regions of a given antigen recognized by a lymphocyte
Antigenic determinants
43
glycoproteins with a variable region that can bind to foreign and self antigens
MHC (Major histocompatibility complex)
44
Displays a flag that says kill me
MHC class 1
45
Displays a flag saying rally round the flag
MHC class 2
46
MHC class 1 processing vs MHC class 2 processing
MHC 1 occurs within the cell where the protein is broken down into fragments and goes through the rough Er where the MHC 1 molecule is paired with antigen complex and transported by golgi to outside of the cell where it displays foreign antigen or self antigen MHC 2 is phagocytosis of a foreign antigen which is the broken down into processed foreign antigens and transported through the golgi where MHC 2 molecules combine with PFA where it travels to the membrane and is displayed as an antigen complex
47
In order for B or T cells to produce a respond there must be
Binding of MHC 2 antigen complex to T cells | Costimulation
48
Costimulation occurs by
``` Cytokines Surface molecules (B7 and CD28) ```
49
What makes B7
Macrophages
50
What makes CD28
Helper T cells
51
State of unresponsiveness of lymphocytes to a specific antigen
Tolerance
52
Antibody classes or Immunoglobins
IgG, igM, igA, igE, igD GAMED
53
Part that combines with antigenic determinant of antigen
Variable region
54
Responsible for activities of antibodies
Constant region
55
Which ig class is most abundant
IgG
56
Which ig class is responsible for glands
IgA
57
Which ig class is least abundant
IgD
58
Which ig class provide immune protection to the fetus and newborn
IgG
59
Which ig class binds to mast cells and basophils
IgE
60
Which ig class is resposible for reactions in the ABO blood system
IgM
61
Action of antibodies
- inactivate antigens - bind antigens together - activate complement cascade - initiate release of inflammatory chemicals - facilitate phagocytosis
62
What are cytotoxic cells function
Lyse virus infected cells | Produce cytokines
63
Natural exposure to antigen
Active natural
64
Vaccination
Active artificial
65
Transfer of antibodies from a mother to her fetus or baby
Passive natural
66
Transfer of antibodies from an immune animal to a non immune one
Passive artificial | Antiserum
67
Antigen presenting cells
Dendrites Macrophages T cells
