Lyphatic System

QuestionAnswer
2 types of immunity innate and adaptive
2 types of innate defenses 1st defense and 2nd defense
2 types if adaptive defenses humoral and cellular
innate defenses include 1st and 2nd defenses that stop attacks by pathogens
1st line of defense surface barriers and skin and mucosa membranes and their secretions that produce protective chemicals that inhibit or destroy microorganisms
types of surface barrier secretions acid, enzymes, mucin, defensins, and other chemicals lime components of sebum and sweat
2nd line defense cells and chemicals, protects deeper tissues, have 2nd line cells that have pattern recognition reception, phagocytosis occurs
nicks/cutes to surface barriers triggers 2nd line of defense
types od cells and chemicals phagocytes, natural killer cells, inflammatory response, antimicrobial proteins (interferons, complement proteins), and fever
adaptive defenses 3rd line of response, specific defensive system, is systemic, has memory, eliminates almost any pathogen or any abnormal cell o=in body
humoral immunity extracellular, anti-body mediated, try to destroy pathogen without destroying the cell, uses antibodies and B-cells
B-cells activate when antigens bind to surface receptors then triggers proliferation and differentiation of B-cell into plasma cells or memory cells
plasma cells antibody-secreting effector cells
memory cells immunological memory for future exposures
primary immune response cell proliferation and differentiation upon 1st exposure to antigen, lag period is 3-6 days, peak levels of plasma antibody at day 10 then levels decline
secondary immune response re-exposure to same antigen, sensitized memory cells provide immunological memory, antibody levels remain high for weeks-months
active humoral immunity occurs when B-cells encounter antigens and produce specific antibodies against them; naturally acquired is formed in response to actual bacteria or viral infection, artificially acquired is formed in response to vaccine pf dead or weakened pathogen
passive humoral immunity occurs when ready made antibodies are introduces into body, short lived; naturally acquired when antibodies delivered to fetus via placenta or to infant through milk, artificially acquired when an injection of serum is performed
antibodies funciton don't destroy antigens they inactivate and tag them, PLAN= Precipitation, Lysis (via complemented, Agglutination, Neutralization)
cellular immune response intracellular, T-cells provide defense against intracellular antigens, they directly kill cells then release chemicals that regulate immune response
two populations of T-cells CD4 cells usually become helper T-cells which activate B-cells, T-cells and macrophages, some become regulatory T-cells which moderate immune response; CD8 cells become cytotoxic T-cells which destroy cells harboring foreign antigens
cytokines chemical messengers of cellular immunity, functions to mediate cell development and differentiation, mediate reposes in immune system

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.
