| Question |
Answer |
| Overall, the two intrinsic defense systems act: |
Independently, but cooperatively to facilitate body defense |
| The two Body Defense systems are called: |
NONSPECIFIC & SPECIFIC (ADAPTIVE) |
| FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE: |
SKIN (& IT'S PRODUCTS) and MUCOUS MEMBRANES (& PRODUCTS) |
| SKIN & MUCOUS MEMBRANES HELP BY: |
blocking the entrance of micro-organisms |
| EPIDERMIS IS HEAVILY: |
keratinized |
| Keratin help to provide a: |
physical barrier- water proof |
| Keratin is resistant to: |
toxins, bacterial enzymes and weak acids |
| Intact mucosae provide physical (mechanical) barriers as they: |
cover and line body organs |
| Mucous membranes produce: |
defensive chemicals |
| The acidity of secretions produced by some membranes helps: |
inhibit bacterial growth |
| Examples of mucous membranes are: |
vaginal membranes, gastric lining, |
| Sebum is: |
ear wax |
| Sebum contrains chemicals: |
toxic to bacteria |
| Stomach mucosa produces: 2 |
HCI and protein-digesting enzymes |
| HCI is |
hydro chloric acid |
| Saliva & lacrimal fluid contain: |
lysozyme |
| lysozyme is: |
an enzyme that destroys bacteria |
| lacrimal fluid is found: |
tears |
| Mucus feels: |
sticky |
| Mucus traps micro-organisms trying to enter:2 |
the respiratory and digestive systems |
| Some mucous membranes have special structures, such as: |
hair or cilia, to repel/trap invaders |
| Releasing chemicals for communication is called: |
Chemo tactic |
| Anything that prevokes a response is: |
Antigen |
| Paracrine |
chemical that acts locally |
| Hormones |
travel globally |
| Acquired Immunity: |
from having the disease OR from vacine |
| Passive Immunity: |
from Mom-not long lasting |
| Mucus |
the fluid product |
| Mucous |
the producer |
| PPI |
protein pump inhibitor |
