Q

what do kinins and chemokines do for the chemical responses

A

molecules increase circulations and capillary permeability, attract leukocytes to site of injury, affect nerve cells to make the area tender

25
how many lobes does the nucleus of a neutrophil have
multi-lobed
26
what does the neutrophil do when it arrives to the injury
phagocytosis (engulf invader)
27
how many lobes does eosinophil have
two lobed
28
what kind of invaders do eosinophils kill
parasitic worms
29
what is eosinophils main purpose
digest parasitic worms
30
are basophils super common or super rare
super duper rare
31
what do basophils release
histamine
32
what kind of nucleus do lymphocytes have
super duper big nucleus
33
what are the two types of lymphocytes
T cells and B cells
34
what kind of nucleus do monocytes have
U shaped
35
what do moncytes become
macrophages--> will engulf viruses and other pathogens
36
are natural killer cells phagocytes
no.
37
what is the natural killer cells job
detect and kill infected cells that can cause cancer. (changes in plasma proteins)
38
What do natural killer cells chemicals do
put the chemicals into the infected cells to kill them and puncture the infected cells membranes.
39
what is hematopoisesis
all blood cells that are produced in bone marrow
40
do inate defences have specific pathways for specific substances
yes; true
41
do inate responses release proteins that alert the cells of the adaptive immune system when their is a foreign invader
yes; true
42
what line of defense is the adaptive immune system
3rd line
43
what is the goal of the adaptive immune system
deal with the infected cells, destroy pathogens, and prevent future infections.
44
what are lymphcytes
WBC carrying out the adaptive immune response
45
where are B cells produced, matured, and stored
produced and mature in bone marrow and are stored in the lymph nodes
46
where are T cells produced, matured, and stored
produced in the bone marrow, mature in the thymus, and stored in the lymph nodes
47
what are antigens
protein markers that are on the outside of the cell
48
what do antigens do
help teh immune system find threats --> familiar or foreign
49
what is step 1 in the immune response
macrophages from the innate immunity response engulf the pathogen, then the antigen from the pathogens become displaced on the macrophages. The spiky stuff.
50
what is step 2 in the immune response
macrophages travel to lymph nodes, which activates the helper T cells
51
what is step 3 in the immune response
helper t cells clone themselves and release a chemical called cytokines which is a protein
52
does cell mediated immune response use T -cells or B cells
T cells
53
does humoral immune response use T cells or B cells
B cells
54
do human cells have many surface proteins
yes true.
55
what is naturally acquired adaptive humeral immunity
a response to a bacterial or viral infection
56
what is artificially acquired adaptive immunity
response to vaccine of dead or attenuated pathogens
57
does immunological memory occur in passive humoral immunity
no
58
in passive humoral immunity does protection last forever
no protection ends when antibodies degrade
59
are b cells challenged by antigens in passive humoral immunity
no
60
what is the first type of passive humoral immunity
naturally aquired; this is where antibodies are delivered via placenta to the infant or thru breast milk
61
what is the second type of passive humoral immunity
artificially acquired; this is where and injection of a serum, such as gamma or globulin. the protection is immediate but ends when the antibodies degrade in the body.
62
what is an antibody (immunoglobulin) (ig)
it is a soluable protein secreted by B cells (plasma cells)
63
where is antibody (immunoglobulin)(IG) carried
blood plasma
64
are antibody (immunogloublin) (IG) capable of binding to specifically to an antigen
yes
65
what shape is the iga antibody
log shaped
66
where is the iga anitbody found
mucous, saliva, tears, breast milk, protects against pathogens.
67
what shape is the igD antibody
Y shape
68
what does the igD antibody do
part of b-cell receptor, activates basophils and mast cells.
69
what shape is the igE anitbody
Y shape
70
what does the igE antibody do
protects against parasitic worms, is responsible for allergic reactions
71
what shape is the igG antibody
Y shape
72
what does the igG antibody do
secreted by plasma cells in blood, able to cross the placenta into the fetus
73
what shape is the igM antibody
spider shape
74
what does the igM antibody do
may attach ot surface of a B cell or secrete into blood. Is responsible for early stages of immunity
75
what do monoclonial antibodies do
r antibody that are developed in the lab to help bodies fight an infection
76
what is an autograft
a tissue transplanted from one site to another on the same person.
77
what is an isograft
tissue graft from an identical person (twin)
78
what is an allograft
tissue taken from an unrealated person
79
what is a xenograft
tissue taken from a diff animal species.
80
what two grafts are the ideal donors
autografts and isografts are the ideal donors
81
what type of graph are never successful
xenografts
82
what kind of graphs are more successful with a closer tissue match
allografts
83
are immunodeficiences congenital or aquired
both
84
is aids an immunodeficiency
yes
85
what is multiple sclerosis
white matter of brain and spinal cords is destroyed
86
what is myastenia graris
imparis communication between nerves and the skeletal muscle
87
what is juvenile diabetes
destroys pancreatic beta cells that produce insulin
88
what is rhematoid arthritis
destroys joints
89
what is systemic lupus erythemattosus (SLE)
affects kidney, heart, lung, and skin
90
