Question
Answer

🗑
Avid Phagocytes   Monocyte ( Large) and Neutrophil (Small) and Macrophages (RES)  
🗑
Reverse Diff   lymphocytes exceed nuetrophil  
🗑
Process of Phagocytosis (5)   1) P. attaches to bacterium, assisted by oposins. 2) Psuedopodia surround bacterium 3)Bacterium is brought into cytoplasm and vacuole is formed. 4) Phagolysosome forms. 5)Bacteria disintegrates through lysosomal enzymes. 6)Egestion  
🗑
Mast Cells   Are basophils that have migrated into tissue. Release Histamine. Associated with Anaphlaxisis (Bee stings) RA, and Allergies, MS.  
🗑
Inflammation Response   Bodys response to tissue damage. Symptoms are heat, redness, swelling, and pain. 1)Histamine is released, causes blood vessel dilation 2)LP factor released, phagocytes destroy bacteria 3) Pus forms at site (Only is bacterial) 4) Abscess  
🗑
NK Cells   take out abnormal cells such as cancer or viral cells.  
🗑
Interferon   Protein released from Virus, caused adjacent cells to produce antiviral protein which interferes with virus replication.  
🗑
Complement   Enhances phagocytosis, produces inflammation  
🗑
Opsonin   attachment of certain proteins to microbes, increasing a phagocyte's ability to adhere to the pathogen.  
🗑
T Cells   Direct cell to cell contact. Supresses Memory or Killer Cells. Found in Cellular Immunity. Enhances binding to a macrophage.  
🗑
B Cells   Found in Humoral Immunity. (Blood and Body Fluids) Makes antibodies and recognizes foreign objects.  
🗑
Humoral Immunity   Mediated by B Lymphocytes. Releases antibodies. Effective against bacterial toxins and viruses.  
🗑
Cell-Mediated Immunity   Involved with T Cells. Resist infection. presented on macrophages, dendric cells and infected cells. Uses Chemical enhancers such as glyoproteins. (Lymphokines, cytokines)Most effective in clearing viruses.  
🗑
Specific Resistance   Antigens and Antibodies  
🗑
Antigens   Most are protein, glycoprotein or nucleoprotein. Foreign object in body that creates immune response. found on surface of viruses and cells and capsules, cell wall, or flagella of bacteria  
🗑
Antibody   protein produced in response to an antigen. can bind specifically to an antigen. Produced by Plasma cells (5 types IG-g,a,m, e ,d)  
🗑
IgG   Gamma globin, secondary immune response, can cross placenta  
🗑
IgA   occurs in bodily secretions  
🗑
IgM   largest and primary excreted (first) in imune response  
🗑
IgE   Allergies and Histamine  
🗑
IgD   binds to antigens, Activates B Cells  
🗑
Primary Response   Phagotysis takes place. Memory Cell is established.  
🗑
Anamnestic Response (secondary)   Memory cells recall and release antibodies  
🗑
Antigen/Antibody Reactions   4 types- Agglutination, Opsonization, Lysis by Complement, and Toxin nuetralization. nature of antigen and kind of antibody to which it reacts  
🗑
Agglutination   Results in clumping  
🗑
Opsonization   Antibodies nuetralize toxins and coat microbes so they can be phagocitized  
🗑
Lysis by Complement   IgM and IgG activate complement which lyse cell membrane  
🗑
Toxin Nuetralization   Antibody complex stops toxin from damaging host  
🗑
Helper T Cells   Activates B cells and other T cells.  
🗑
Supressor T Cells   Keeps immune processes from getting out of hand.  
🗑
Delayed Hypersensitivity T Cells   Responsible for TB skin test or poison ivy reaction. Release various lymphokines that manage marcrophage activity and participate in delayed hyperactivity  
🗑
Cytotoxic T Cells   Kill infected Host cells by making lethal protein  
🗑
Aquired Immunity   Active and Passive. Considered non-hereditary  
🗑
Active   Persons own immune system produces antibodies. 1)Naturally- exposure to infective agent providing immunity rest of life 2)Artifical- Acquired through vaccination or immunization  
🗑
