Q

What are 3 functions of the immune system?

A
  1. defends body against invasion
  2. Removes dead/damaged cells
  3. Attempts to recognize/remove abnormal cells

Q

What are the purposes of inflammation?

A
  1. increase the permeability of our vasculature so that the white blood cells get to the area and escape
  2. Limit spread of invading agents
  3. Prep damaged tissue for repair

Q

What is adaptive immuity

A
  1. attacks specific antigens
    slower
  2. effective to second exposure
  3. involves B and T lymphocytes

Q

What is another name for cytotoxic T cells and what do they do?

A

CD8+
Bind to the surface of infected cells and just drop the membrane and destroy it before it can infect other cells?

Q

What do helper T cells do and what is its other name?

A

CD4+. They stimulate B cells to mature into plasma cells, which secrete antibodies. They are stimulated by phagocytic cells with MHC II that display antigens.

Q

What do memory cells do?

A

They fight future infections without the need of helper T cells

18
Q

What kind of immune response is a vaccination?

A

It’s an example of a primary immune

19
Q

What kind of immune response are booster shots?

A

These are a type of secondary immune response, so antibody levels will be high before the disease is encountered

20
Q

IGG makes up what kind of antibody

A

Makes up about 80% of plasma antibodies. It is most major antibacterial and antiviral antibodies causes placenta smallest
easily leaves the bloodstream to interstitial fluids.

21
Q

IgA

A

Found in bodily secretions (saliva, sweat, teachers, mucus, and bile_protects against respiratory and G.I. infection

22
Q

IgM

A

First antibodies produced during an immune response, major antibody on B cell surfaces

23
Q

IgE

A

Initiates inflammatory and allergic reactions

24
Q

IgD

A

Primarily found on the surface of the cells

25
What are some common immune disorders?
Excessive mean response and deficient immune response
26
Auto immunity
immune system, attaches to own tissues, caused by an amber normal, excessive immune response towards it ow tissues
27
Type I hypersensitivity involves what kind of Ig?
IgE
28
What are some pro inflmmatory mediators?
that are released include prostaglandins interleukins leukotrienes and histamine
29
Histamine causes
things like increased vascular permeability vasodilation and both of these will lead to hypotension a drop in BP, urticaria, bronchoconstriction, increased mucus secretion
30
Treatment for type I hypersensitivity
antihistamine beta-adrenergics-decrese broncoconstriction to corticosteroids- decrease inflamatory response anticholniergics- block parasympathetic IgE therapy- inhibits binding of IgE to mast cells epinephrine= adrenergic agent
31
Type II hypersensitivity aka
tissue specific or cytotoxic or cytolytic hypersensitivity and it occurs
32
How is Type II hypersensitivity activated?
via the complement system
33
What is an example of Type II hypersensitvity?
blood transfusion or RH- mothers and RH+ babies
34
Type III hypersensitivity aka
Immune complex reaction
35
What happens in type III hypersensitivity?
our immune system and phagocytic system really fail to effectively remove antigen immune complexes and the antigen-antibody gets stuck in ties, which activates complement and chemoattraction of neutrophils
36
What is an example of Type III hypersensitivity?
Examples-inflammatory renal disorder
37
What is deficient immune response?
lymphocytes or antibodies or phagocytes or complement proteins there's a decrease in the immune
38
What is deficient immune example?
HIV
39
What are signs of deficient immune response?
get sick often
40
What is a primary immunodeficiency disorder?
congenital, genetic, or acquired secure recurrent, unusual or unmanageable infections
41
What is causes second immunodeficiency disorder?
Excessive or defective neuroendocrine responses, stress, poor nutrition, stress, drugs, other medications
42
The CDC recommends that HIV antibody testing takes place:
three months so body can make antibodies
