Immune Response Microbiology

        Help!  

Question
Answer
Activation of the immune response typically begins when   a pathogen enters the body.  
🗑
ingests, processes and displays the antigen fragments on their cell surfaces   macrophages  
🗑
Secretes interleukin-2   T-helper cells  
🗑
Causes the proliferation of certain cytoxic T cells and b cells   Interleukin-2  
🗑
Capable of recognizing the antigen displayed on the surfaces of infected cells, bind to the infected cells and produce chemicals that kill the infected cell.   T Cells  
🗑
When B cells become activated by T-helper cells, they differentiate into   plasma cells  
🗑
Antibody-producing factories, flooding the bloodstream with antibodies that can bind to the antigen involved in this infection   plasma cells  
🗑
Some of the B cells do not turn into antibody factories, but instead become   memory B cells that may survive for decades.  
🗑
Contains lysozyme and proteases which digest bacteria   lysosomes  
🗑
Phagocytes are not attracted to   lysosomes  
🗑
Lysosomes help to digest material that has been   phagocytized  
🗑
In phagocytosis the digested contents are elimated by   exocytosis  
🗑
A lysosome is an organelle found inside the phagocyte that contains   digestive enzymes  
🗑
The primary infection-fighting blood cells. They are WBC's   Leukocytes  
🗑
Granulocytes   A mature leukocyte, such as neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils  
🗑
Neutrophils   An active phagocytic cell in bacterial infection .  
🗑
Basophils   Binds IgE. The granules contain mediators of anaphylaxis and atopy.  
🗑
Eosinophils   A granular leukocyte example  
🗑
Lymphocytes   The second most common form of WBC  
🗑
Macrophages   A WBC derived from a monocyte that leaves the circulation and enters tissues. These cells are important in nonspecific phagocytosis and in regulating, stimulating, and cleaning up after immune responses.  
🗑
Antibodies   A large protein molecule evoked in response to an antigen that interacts specifically with that antigen  
🗑
Humoral immunity   Protective molecules (mostly B lymphocytes) carried in the fluids of the body.  
🗑
Cell-mediated immunity   The type of immune responses brought about by T cells, such as cytotoxic, suppressor, and helper effects.  
🗑
Chemotaxis   The tendency of organisms to move in response to a chemical gradient (toward an attractant or to avoid adverse stimuli).  
🗑
The system of vessels and organs that serve as sites for development of immune cells and immune reactions.   Lymphatic system; includes spleen, thymus, lymph nodes and GALT  
🗑
The butterly-shaped organ near the tip of the sternum that is the site of T-cell maturation.   Thymus  
🗑
GALT means   gut-associated lymphoid tissue. Includes Peyer's patches.  
🗑
Small molecules that are released during inflammation and specific immune reactions that allow communication between the cells of the immune system and facilitate surveillance, recognition and attack.   Chemical mediators  
🗑
A chemical substance produced by wbc's and tissue cells that regulates development, inflammation, and immunity.   Cytokines  
🗑
Purulent refers to a   pus-like condition. This matter is formed by an inflammatory infection. It consists of serum exudate, tissue debris, leukocytes and microorganisms.  
🗑
A type of endocytosis in which the cell membrane actively engulfs large particles or cells into vesicles   Phagocytosis  
🗑
Can regulate a variety of immune reactions. Produced by lymphocytes. It can block viral replication. A naturally occurring polypeptide   Interferon (IFN)  
🗑
In immunology, serum protein components that act in a definite sequence when set in motion either by an antigen-antibody complex or by factors of the alternative pathway.   Complement (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.
