Question
Answer
describe the first line of defense   Skin, mucous membranes  
🗑
why are cigarette smokers and pts wth URTI more susceptible to lower rti?   Paralyzes cilia, damaging, increases tissue inflammation which increases permebility  
🗑
what is the second line of defense?   phagocytic wbs Neutrphil, inflmaamation, fever, natural killer cells  
🗑
what are some advantages of inflmaation   it increases blood flow, increases permeability and allows neutraphils to squeeze through walls  
🗑
how does a fever work?   it inativated bacterial toxins which are proteins nad increases metabolism  
🗑
what are the thrid line of defense?   specialized lymphocytes T and B cells, and antibodies or immunoglobins  
🗑
what is another name fo antibody?   immunoglobin  
🗑
what is the pro and con of 3rd line of defense?   its harcore and powerful but it takes time to mount the response  
🗑
which lines of defense are specific and which are non?   first 2 are non specific third line is specific  
🗑
desribe qualities of innate immunity   rapid,nonspecfic, similar respnse to each eposure, defense is skin barrier mucous mmbrane, phagoctes inflammation fever, phagocytes like macrophages and neutrophils NK cells and dendritic cells  
🗑
describe adaptive immunity   slower- days to weeks, cell for each unique antigen has immunologic mmory for more rapid and effective killing with next exposure, direct cell killing and tagging of antigen by antibody. T and B cells  
🗑
what is defiend as a foreing substance?   antigen  
🗑
describe the qualities of an antigen   large, complex macromolecules which makes the immune system better to recognize it  
🗑
what is an epitope   the immune system doest recognize the whole bacteria as an antign but part of the bacteria is really the antigen that triggers the immune response recognizes certain proteins  
🗑
what is a hapten?   is a small molecule that when it attaches to a protein becomes a large macromolecule ex is PNC which is very small but once it enters the body and binds to proteins becomes large macromolecule  
🗑
what is MHC1?   proteins on the surface of all nucleated cells except immune cells that differnetiates your cells from foreingers. self from nonself  
🗑
describe MHC1 upongs family an non family   twins have similar MHC1 so it woud be best to get transplant form twin. the closer the family meber the more similar the Mhc, biological children get a mxture of both  
🗑
what happens when your MHC1 changes?   can be changed due ot infectionthis alerts immune system that there is an abnormal cell and an immune response starts  
🗑
describes what happens when a normla cell is infected by virus   the infected cell takes the viruses epitope adn reflects it on its MHC1 this changes the MHC1 and mounts an immune response  
🗑
which part of immunity is dendritic cells?   innate and adaptive  
🗑
why are cytokines important   helps communicate to each cell and initiate response is dependant on relese of cytokines  
🗑
primary cytokine that protect host against viral infections   interferons  
🗑
what are tumor necrosis factor?   most important mediater of inflammation, mady by macrophages also a fever producer or endogenous pyogen  
🗑
what is the major effector component of innate immunity?   epithlial cells, neutrophils and marophags, NK cells, compliment system  
🗑
humoral responses are mediated by what?   c cells  
🗑
which cells are part of innate immunity   macrophage, dendritic cells, NK, neutrophils, intraepithelial lymphocytes  
🗑
AGRANULOCYTES OF INNATE IMMUNITY   monocytes and macrophge  
🗑
where are dendritic cells found   rare cells found to tissues exposed to environment like GI and resp system  
🗑
what are osponins   molecules that coat cell membranes and enhance redcognition and binding. the process of coating ios called osponization  
🗑


   

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.
