Q

When encountering antigen, does that mean immediately produce antibody?

A

No, because it requires time for antigen processing and presentation.

Q

How can our body remember the antigen?

A
  • Memory B-cells can remember the antigen that caused the disease before.
18
Q

● binding when you are exposed to a disease the 2nd time around
● activates the Complement System through the alternative pathway in order to finalize the
antigen-antibody reaction.

A

Antigen-Antibody COmplex

19
Q

Why is there no accumulation of antigen-antibody complex in the body?

A

The action of Complement System: It will complete the antigen-antibody complex and eliminate the microorganism through cell lysis.

20
Q

talks about the study if serum, laboratory application

21
Q

Three Population of Lymphocytes

A
  • B Lymphocytes
  • T Lymphocytes
  • NK Cells
22
Q

under Humoral Response, responsible in production of antibodies

A

B Lymphocytes

23
Q

Cell- Mediated Immunity, under Cytotoxicity

A

T Lymphocytes

24
Q

nonspecific Immunity, neutrophil that can interact

25
All of the Lymphocytes came from _________
Bone Marrow
26
categorizes WBCs based on the presence of Secondary Granules. - All WBCs are granulated so all of them have Primary Granules.
Paul Ehrlich
27
2 Tertiary Granules Of Neutrophil:
○ Gelatinase ○ Gelatinase with tissue plasminogen activator
28
All WBCSs are phagocytes except ____________ because it can not digest antigen as it does not contain secondary granules (digestive granules) but has a role in immunity.
lymphocytes
29
site of B cells and T cells production
Bone Marrow
30
B cells mature here
Bone marrow
31
B cells is derived from
Bursa of Fabricius
32
T cells mature here
Thymus
33
Secondary Immune Organs
- Spleen - Lymph Nodes - Mucosa Associated Lymphoid Tissue - Cutaneous Associated Lymphoid Tissue - Peyer's Patches of the Intestine - Tonsils
34
grave yard of RBC, filters blood to remove antigens
Spleen
35
a part of spleen where RBCs are broken down when they reach the end of their lifespan (120 days), plays a crucial role in RBC senescence
Red Pulp
36
a part of spleen used for immune defense, spleen filters blood to neutralize or kill antigens
White Pulp
37
- Filters tissues through lymphatic fluids of the presence of antigens.
Lymph Nodes
38
inflammation of the lymph node (kasi nagkakaroon ng lymphocyte traffic shutdown)
Lymphadenopathy
39
Phagocytes that can be antigen presenting cells (APCs). - most potent phagocyte and the most effective APCs - Nucleus at the center, Tentacles at the side
Dendritic Cells
40
- classified before as macrophage in skin, now categorized as dendritic cells
Langerhan Cells
41
from Monocytes (blood) and become _________ in tissues
macrophage
42
Pseudopods that can devoured the antigen
