Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
Inflammation   a non-specific reaction that is immediate and provides short-term protection  
🗑
Neutrophils   compromise 55-70% of WBC, mature in bone marrow, first line of defense, perform phagocytosis  
🗑
Macrophages   created from monocytes that are released from bone marrow, life span is months to years, perform phagocytosis, repair of injured tissue, antigen processing, and secretions of cytokines  
🗑
Basophils   smallest and rarest of WBC, release heparin and vasoactive substances  
🗑
Eosinophils   compromise 1-2% of total WBC, posess weak phagocytic activity, release vasoactive substances  
🗑
B-Lymphocytes(Antibody-Mediated)   cell with the most direct role, requires assistance from macrophages  
🗑
T-lymphocytes(Antibody-Meidated)   produce helper T cells to regulate B lymphocytes  
🗑
Agglutination   binding of more than 1 antigen to antibody; slows the movement of antigen through the blood so other WBC's may attack it  
🗑
Lysis   antibody attaches to membrane surface antigens, esp. bacteria/viruses  
🗑
Complement Fixation   IgG and IgM stimulate complement cascade  
🗑
Precipitation   Large complex removed by other WBC's  
🗑
Inactivation/Neutralization   antibody cover antigen's active site and renders it useless  
🗑
IgG   most abundant antibody in blood, activates complement, neutralizes toxins, enhances phagocytosis, and provides immunity against viral and bacterial infections  
🗑
IgM   approx. 10% in blood, activates complement, clears antigen through precipitation, possibly mediates autoimmune reactions, responsible for ABO blood transfusion incompatability  
🗑
IgA   less than 15% content in blood, secretory anitbody found in various body secretions, inhibits bacteria and viruses from adhering to skin and mucous membranes  
🗑
IgE   less than 1% in blood, degranulation of basophils during inflammatory response, helps clear parasites and prevent respiratory infections, and mediates many hypersensitivity reactions  
🗑
IgD   less than 1% in blood and modifies IgM activity  
🗑
Innate Immunity   genetically determined, person either does or does not have immunity  
🗑
Aquired Immunity   adaptive response to an invasion of antigen, occurs naturally or artificially  
🗑
Active Immunity   antigen enters body and body responds by making antigens against it  
🗑
Natural Active Immunity   occurs w/o human assistance, person has the disease, most effective and longest lasting immunity  
🗑
Artificial Active Immunity   a small amount of antigen introduced so the body will produce antibodies. ex. vaccinations  
🗑
Passive Immunity   antibodies introduced into the body but the body did not produce them, provides immediate and short-term protection  
🗑
Natural Passive Immunity   provided by mother to fetus across the placenta  
🗑
Artificial Passive Immunity   antibodies delibrately injected into a person when a person is exposed to serious disease and has no immunity  
🗑
Helper T cell   efficient in recognizing self vs. non-self, secrete lymphokines which regulate activity of other leukocytes, and stimulate and organize the response of total immune system  
🗑
T suppressor cell   prevent overstimulation of immune response, have an inhibitory effect on the immune response  
🗑
Cytotoxic T cell   bind to HLA antigen complex cell and kill it  
🗑
NK cells   "search and destroy" mission throughout the body  
🗑
Primary Immunodeficiency   A deficient response that's due to a missing component in the immune response. Has gentic or developmental cause  
🗑
Secondary Immunodeficiency   an aquired disease in, or lack of, an immune response as the result of an underlying cause or dysfunction outside of the immune system  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
