Hypersensitivity Type 1
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is hypersensitivity? | any immune response against a foreign antigen that is exaggerated beyond the norm |
| List four types of hypersensitivity | Type I,II, III, IV |
| which type is immediate? | type I |
| which type is cytotoxic? | type II |
| Which type is immune-complex mediated? | type III |
| which type is delayed or cell-mediated? | type IV |
| Is type I hypersensitivity localized or systemic reactions that result from the release of inflammatory molecules in response to an antigen? | both |
| Which type of hypersensitivity: develop within seconds or minutes following exposure to an antigen, commonly called allergies and the antigens that stimulate them are called allergens | typeI |
| what are two stages of type I hypersensitivity? | sensitization, degranulation |
| Among cells involved in Type I hypersensitivity, what cells are found in sites close to body surfaces such as the skin and the walls of the intestine, whose cytoplasm is filled with large granules which contain a mixture of potent inflammatory chemicals? | mast cells |
| Type I hypersensitivity is commonly called _______ and involves ________ antibodies. | allergies, IgE |
| Antigens that stimulate Type I hypersensitivity are called ______. | allergens |
| In sensitization phase, APC _________ allergen and presents to _______ cell, the cell secretes ____ to stimulate ____ cell which secretes IgE, then IgE binds to ____ cells, ______, and _______. | phagocytizes, TH2, IL4, B, Mast cell, Basophil, Eosinophil |
| What do mast cells contain in its cytoplasm? | large granules containing a mixture of potent inflammatory chemicals |
| Among cells involved in Type I hypersensitivity, what cells are leukocytes which can be stained with basophilic dyes and contain granules filled with inflammatory chemicals? | Basophils |
| Among cells involved in Type I hypersensitivity, what cells are leukocytes that can be stained with the dye eosin and contain inflammatory mediators and leukotriens that contribute to the seerity of a hypersensitivity resonse? | Eosinophils |
| Among cells involved in Type I hypersensitivity, what cells are mainly involved? | mast cells |
| Among cells involved in Type I hypersensitivity, what cells take care of worms? | eosinophils |
| What phenomena stimulates the release of eosinophis to migrate to the site where is occuring? | mast cell degranulation |
| Which inflammatory molecule is this: released during degranulation and causes smooth muscle contraction, increased vascular permeability, and irritation? | histamine |
| which inflammatory molecules is this: relased during degranulation, cause smooth muscle contraction, inflammation and irritation? | Kinins |
| Which inflammatory molecules is this: released during degranulation, damage tissues and activate complement? | proteases |
| What inflammatory molecules released from mast cells during degranulation? | histamin, kinins, proteases |
| Which inflammatory molecule is this: synthesized in response to inflammation, cause slow, prolonged smooth muscle contraction? | leukotrienes |
| Which inflammatory molecule is this: synthesized in response to inflammation, some contract smooth muscle, others relax it? | prostaglandins |
| Which inflammatory molecules are synthesized in response to inflammation? | leukotrienes, prostaglandins |
| In type I hypersensitivity, what causes systemic allergic reactions? | degranulation of many mast cells at once |
| why degranulation of many mast cells at once cause systemic allergic reactions? | it causes the release of large amounts of histamine and inflammatory mediators. |
| Degranulation of many mast cells at once cuases ______ ________ or _________ which results suffocation. | acute anaphylaxis, anaphylactic shock |
| When suffocation from anaphylactic shock happens, bronchial smooth muscle _____ violently, leakage of fluid from blood vessels causes ______ of the larynx and other tissues, the smooth muscle of the intestines and bladder ________. | contracts, swelling, contracts |
| To treat type I hypersensitivity, drugs that ________ the inflammatory mediators released by degranulation are administered. | counteract |
| What drug can counteract and neutralize histamine? | antihistamine |
| How can asthma be treated? | with an inhalant containing corticosteroid and a bronchodilator |
| What does quickly neutralize many of the mechanisms of anaphylaxis? | epinephrine |
| Epinephrine _____ smooth muscle and reduce _______ ________. | relax, vascular permeability |
| Which drug can be used for emergency treatment of severe asthma and anaphylactic shock? | epinephrine |
| When worm antigens are detected by mast cell, mast cell secretes ______ and ________, and it makes _________ migrate where the worm is to attack. | histamine, eoshinophil chemostatic factor, eosinophils |
