Term
Definition
2 types of defenses   nonspecific and specific  
🗑
homeostasis   protects body against foreign organisms, toxins, chemicals, damaged cells and tissues  
🗑
nonspecific body defenses (first line)   epithelial barriers; phagocytes; antimicrobial chemicals  
🗑
nonspecific body defenses (second line)   fever; inflammation  
🗑
epithelial barriers   skin; cornea; mucous membranes  
🗑
phagocytes   macrophages; neutrophils; eosinophils  
🗑
antimicrobial chemicals   acids; lysozymes; complement; interferons  
🗑
acids   stomach, vagina, urethra  
🗑
lysozyme   polysaccharide; binds to and destroys bacterial cell walls  
🗑
complement   proteins; bind to bacteria and parasites, directly lyse them, mark them for phagocytes  
🗑
interferons   proteins; prevent viruses from infecting cells and mark virus-infected cells for phagocytes  
🗑
fever   purposely raising body temp since some bacteria cannot reproduce at high temps; some bacteria causes body temps to raise to dangerous levels though  
🗑
inflammation   inflammatory chemicals from damaged tissues; vasodilation, pain increase capillary permeability  
🗑
increased capillary permeability   swelling, increased oxygen, attraction of leukocytes  
🗑
4 things specific defenses must be   specifc, adaptive, systematic, memory  
🗑
specific   provides defense against antigens recognized as non-self  
🗑
adaptive   defense can be targeted against new antigens  
🗑
systematic   defenses are distributed through entire body, not limited to site of infection  
🗑
memory   mounts stronger and faster defense against previously encountered antigens  
🗑
self-tolerance   immune system must not respond and attack to the body's own cells and molecules  
🗑
pathogen   any organism against which the immune system responds  
🗑
antigen   any molecule against which the immune system responds; may be isolated molecule; may be a larger structure  
🗑
antibody (immunoglobin)   a specific protein which binds to an antigen; produced by lymphocytes  
🗑
antigenic determinant or epitope   the specific part of an antigen which an antibody recognizes and binds to  
🗑
cell-mediated immunity   macrophages and t lymphocytes; lymphocytes directly attack invading or damaged cells; effective against invading cells or damaged cells; begins when macrophage presents anigen to immunocompetent T lymphocytes  
🗑
humoral immunity   antibodies produced by plasma cells (b-lymphocytes with some help from t-lymphocytes); antibodies attach to invading cells or isolated antigens  
🗑
macrophages   engulf and destroy pathogens, damaged cells, present antigens to lymphocytes, secrete activation factors  
🗑
B lymphocytes   plasma cells and memory cells  
🗑
T lymphocytes   cytotoxic cells; helper cells; regulatory/suppressor cells; memory cells  
🗑
Antigen presenting cells   reticular cells; dendritic cells  
🗑
T lymphocytes   become immunocompetent in thymus; responsible for cell-mediated immunity  
🗑
B-lymphocytes   become immunocompetent in bone marrow and regions of digestive system; responsible for humoral immunity  
🗑
humoral immune response   effective against both isolated antigens and cells; begins when immunocompetent B lymphocyte recognizes and binds to a specific antigen, becoming activated  
🗑
3 actions of antibodies   1) neutralize the anitgen by changing its shape 2) cause antigens or pathogen to agglutinate or precipitate 3) mark the antigen or pathogen to by phagocytosed  
🗑
cytotoxic T lymphocytes   when activated, it binds to target cell and releases molecules which directly damage it  
🗑
helper T lymphocytes   when activated, it secrete chemicals which acivate macrophages and stimulate proliferation of both B and cytotoxic T lymphocytes  
🗑
regulatoy/suppressor T lymphocytes   secrete chemicals which suppress the activates of both T and B lymphotcytes; necessary to slow down immune response after antigen or invading.damaged cell destroyed; minimizes risk of cross-relativity and damage to self cells; help make memory cells  
🗑


   

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.
