Question
Answer
SECOND LINE OF DEFENSE INHIBITS INVASION BY:   MICROORGANISMS  
List the 5 major non specific defenses included in 2nd LINE:   Production of anti-microbial proteins, fever, inflammatory response, phagocytosis, & NK cells  
NK cells AKA   null cells OR natural killer cells  
Inflammatory process triggered by:   injury to body tissue  
Inflammation helps in 3 ways:   1. PREVENT spread of invaders. 2.INITIATE repair mechanism. 3. DISPOSE of cell debries & pathogens.  
Four signs of inflammation are:   redness, heat, swelling & pain  
Fifth POSSIBLE sign of inflammation is:   impairment of function  
Inflammation begins with release of inflammatory chemicals into:   EXTRAcellular fluid from cells  
The inflammatory response also includes the release of:   blood proteins  
Some important inflammatory chemicals are:   Compliment sys proteins, Histamines, Kinins, Lymphokines, & prostaglandins (PG)  
Inflammatory chemicals promote:   VASODILATION  
VASODILATION causes   HYPEREMIA  
HYPEREMIA is:   heat and redness  
Some chemicals increase permeability of:   capillaries  
EXUDATE is   fluid with proteins (clotting factors)  
Pain associated w/inflammation comes from:   release of bacterial toxins & pressure from swelling  
EDEMA helps 3 ways:   1) ALLOWS ENTRY of clotting proteins 2)BRINGS IN lots of oxygen & nutrients 3) DILATES harmful substances  
If the epithelial barrier is breached, what happens:   epithelial cells release B-DEFENSINS.  
2nd line of defense includes:3   ANTI-MICROBIAL PROTEINS, DEFENSIVE cells & INFLAMMATION  
ANTI-MICROBIAL PROTEINS are:   chemical weapons  
DEFENSIVE CELLS attack:   all non self cells  
EXUDATE causes:   swelling  
CHEMO-TACTIC agents are:   inflammatory chemicals  
B-DEFENSINS are:   broad spectrum antibiotics  
Prevent-Dispose-Initiate refers to:   how inflammation helps  
PG is AKA   Prostaglandins  
Chemical Weapons are:   anti-microbial proteins  
Inflammatory chemicals are:   chemo tactic agents
