innate immunity

QuestionAnswer
progenitor cells are (n) hematopoietic stem cells small number of cells with characteristic cell surface markers ; present throught the life of the person
how is somatic cell division different from stem cell differentiation stem cells after division result in a differentiated cell and stem cell
• Stem cells and other cells in the bone marrow are influenced by (n) stromal cells stromal cells secrete growth factors or display molecules on their cell surface
hematopoietic stem cells give rise to pluripotent stem cells that are either a myeloid progenitor cell or lymphoid progenitor cells
• Myeloid progenitors give rise to red blood cells, platelets, basophils, eosinophils, neutrophils or monocytes/macrophages.
• Lymphoid progenitors give rise to B cells, T cells and natural killer (NK) cells.
inflammation is associated with what kind of immune system ( adaptive / innate) innate
list 5 attributes of innate immunity (n) primitive , first line , involved in pattern recognition , necessary for adaptive , no memory primitive -- evolutionarily older
list 5 attributes of adaptive ( acquired) immunity recent , activated , specific epitope recognition , improved response by repeated infection , had memory
Cytokines produced as a consequence of adaptive immunity (e.g., interferon-gamma (IFN-g) can act on macrophages (cells of the innate immune system) to cause them to become more microbicidal (“classical activation”)
Cytokines produced during the innate immune response can affect the type of adaptive immune response (e.g., IL-4 favors the development of a humoral Th2 antibody response)
Defensins are found in neutrophils and macrophage
Defensins are produced by Paneth cells in intestinal crypts;
defensins are thought to act by inserting directly into organism and creating a pore in the microbial membrane that leads to osmotic rupture of microbe
Immunological defense in the mouth is mediated by a complex system of cells and molecules.
Cells involved in host defense in the oral cavity include the mucosal barrier epithelium and phagocytes, lymphocytes, and other leukocytes involved in inflammation and adaptive immunity.
Membranolytic activity is Found in myeloid cells (neutrophils and macrophages) and on mucosal surfaces
what are the innate immune defenses in the oral cavity Mucosal barrier and saliva
mucosal barrier includes ; epithelial cells, epithelial antimicrobial peptides , mucins , oral microbiota
Cells of the immune system originate form(n) stem cells present in bone marrow bone marrow found in long bones and pelvis contain both progenitor cells and mature cell types

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
