Question
Answer
Myeloid lineage phagocytes   Derived from myeloid stem cells Monocytes Granulocytes Dendritic cells  
🗑
Dendritic cells   Found in epithelial tissues  
🗑
Granulocytes   Neutrophils (innate immunity), eosinophils & basophils (allergic reactions & anti-parasites)  
🗑
Monocytes   Found in most tissues, mature into macophages, central to adaptive immunity  
🗑
eosinophils & basophils   allergic reactions & anti-parasite  
🗑
Lymphoid lineage lymphocytes & natural killer cells   Derived from lymphoid stem cells B cells T Cells NK Cells  
🗑
B cells   recognize circulating antigens → produce antibodies  
🗑
T cells   recognize antigen bound to MHCs on antigen presenting cells (APCs) T helper cells Cytotoxic T cells  
🗑
T helper cells   CD4  
🗑
Cytotoxic T cells   CD8  
🗑
Natural killer (NK) cells   Innate immune cells Recognize tumor & virus-infected cells  
🗑
Central lymphoid tissues   Bone marrow & thymus Tissues where immune cells produced & mature  
🗑
T cells produced in ______   marrow → migrate to thymus → proliferate & mature  
🗑
Thymic selection   only T cells that recognized foreign (not self) antigens survive Thymus regresses after puberty  
🗑
B cells produced in ______   marrow and mature there – also undergo selection  
🗑
Peripheral lymphoid tissues   Lymph nodes  
🗑
Lymph nodes   located where lymph vessels converge Abundant in axiallae, groin, abdomen flows through nodes bringing antigens  
🗑
Antigen presenting cells exposed to antigens _____   → activate T cells  
🗑
T cells activated in the ____   paracortex → proliferate → migrate to cortex  
🗑
B cells in follicles of _____   cortex activated → move to medulla  
🗑
B cells mature in   medulla → release Antibodies  
🗑
Spleen   in abdominal cavity Filters antigens – Acts as huge lymph node  
🗑
Other secondary lymphoid tissues   Clusters of lymphoid tissue MALT – mucosa associated lymph tissue Membranes of GI, respiratory, GU tracts Peyers patches - intestines  
🗑
General purpose cytokines   Chemicals produced by immune cells Bind to receptors on nearby cells Contribute to a variety of parts of the immune response  
🗑
Chemokines   Similar to cytokines Stimulate migration & activation of immune cells Implicated in arthrosclerosis, Crohn disease, asthma, etc  
🗑
Colony stimulating factors   Stimulate blood cell production in marrow  
🗑
Epithelial barriers   Innate Immunity Skin Mucous membranes  
🗑
Skin   excellent barrier & also has antibacterials (Lysozyme)  
🗑
Mucous membranes   Mucus traps microbes → cilia remove them GI, GU, Respiratory  
🗑
Lung   Collectin proteins (surfactants) target pathogens for phagocytosis  
🗑
Stomach   Defensin proteins kill bacteria by disrupting membrane  
🗑
Cells of innate immunity   Phagocytes engulf & destroy bacteria Neutrophils Macrophages Dendritic cells NK cells  
🗑
Macrophages   later-responding phagocytes  
🗑
Dendritic cells   antigen presenting cells Link innate & adaptive immune responses  
🗑
NK cells   Lymphocytes Recognize virus-infected & cancer cells → kill them Have activation receptor – recognizes abnormal surface antigens Have inhibitory receptor - recognizes self antigens If both engage → NK cell takes not action Cytokines induce apoptosis  
🗑
Neutrophils   early-responding phagocytes  
🗑


   

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.
