Question
Answer
Immunity   the ability of the body to reseist infection and disease by activation of specific defense mechanisms.  
🗑
Nonspecific immunity   do not differentiate one type of threat from another.  
🗑
Specific immunity   develope defense specifically against one particular type of threat.  
🗑
Defenses present from birth that include physical barriers, phagocytic cells, immunologic surveillance, liberation of a variety of chemicals, imfalmmation, and fever is what type of immunity?   Nonspecific  
🗑
Phagocytes   white blood cells that patrol the tissue  
🗑
microphages serve as what line of defense?   "first line" of defense  
🗑
Macrophages   Modified monocytes of the circulation that have wandered into the tissues.  
🗑
Natural Killer cells is a form of what type of immunity?   nonspecific  
🗑
What type of antigen is recognized by NK (natural killer) cells (type of lymphocyte)?   Any antigen that is foreign to the body  
🗑
What type of cell recognizes ALL cells that look different?   NK cells or Natural Killer cells  
🗑
Cytokines   Small proteins that inhibit or facilitate normal cell function, such as cell growth and differentiation.  
🗑
Cytokines are secreted by cells such as what?   lymphocytes, macrophages, fibroblasts, and endothelial cells.  
🗑
Non specific immunity include...   physical barriers, phagocytes, surveillance, chemicals, inflammation, fever  
🗑
specific immunity include   innate, acquired - active and passive  
🗑
3 lymphocytes are   B cell, T cell and Natural Killer cell  
🗑
What is a disease causing agent?   Pathogen  
🗑
Second line of defense   phagocytes, NK cells, cytokines (interferons), enzymes  
🗑
inflammation is what type of immunity?   non-specific immunity  
🗑
The process in which white blood cells are attracted to dead/injured,foreign tissue   chemotaxis  
🗑
interleukin 1   Causes hypothalamus to raise body temperature  
🗑
What lowers blood iron levels which bacteria and fungi require to live   Fever  
🗑
Does a fever increase or decrease metabolic rate?   It increases metabolic rate for phagocytic cells to attack more vigorously.  
🗑
Specific Defense has a resistance to what?   antigens  
🗑
Antigen   any substance that provokes an immune response  
🗑
Cell mediated immunity involves what type of lymphocytes which travel to the site of the infection and destroy the microbe?   T-helper lymphocytes  
🗑
Humoral mediated immunity involves what type of lymphocytes that release antibodies into the bloodstream that travel to the site of infection?   B lymphoccytes  
🗑
A hepatitis shot is an example of _________   artificially acquired passive immunity  
🗑
Bee sting, peanut allergy, etc. are what type of reaction?   anaphylactic  
🗑
An antigen that triggers an immune response   Allergen  
🗑
What type of allergic reaction may be due to unmatched blood?   type II  
🗑
What type of allergen may be due to household chemicals?   IV  
🗑
Is an artificially acquired passive immunity short or long term?   very short  
🗑
Is a secondary immune response usually shorter or longer than a primary response?   Usually shorter because of memory cells  
🗑
Is NON-Specific immunity present from birth?   Yes  
🗑
Is a specific immunity present from birth?   No  
🗑
Physical barriers include...   Skin, Hair, Cilia, Reflexes, Digestive tract (vomiting), tears, sweat, nasal secretions.  
🗑
During fetal development, undifferentiated lymphocytes released by _____________.   Red bone marrow  
🗑
What type of immunity has a direct contact between foreign agents and immune cells?   Cell metiated immunity  
🗑
What do T lymphocytes (T cells) do?   They travel to infection site and destroy microbe. They destroy viruses already inside a cell.  
🗑
What are the types of T cells?   Helper, memory, cytotoxic, suppressor  
🗑
What do B lymphocytes do?   Release antibodies into the bloodstream, VERY specialized, Travel to infection site, bind to and destroy specific bacteria  
🗑
Primary immune response   1st exposure to an antigen. Plasma cells (B cells) make antibodies aka immunoglobulins. T and B "remember" invader. You get the sickness.  
🗑
Secondary immune response   Memory cells react. Memory cells live a long time. Get slightly sick for a day or two.  
🗑
Artificial   Vaccines  
🗑
Natural   you get the disease  
🗑
Acquired immunity - Active   Your BODY makes the antibodies itself when exposed to a foreign organism  
🗑
Acquired immunity - Passive   Your body is GIVEN the antibodies  
🗑
Is chicken pox Naturally acquired active immunity or Artificially acquired active immunity?   Naturally acquired active immunity  
🗑
Artificially acquired active immunity   Vaccine (immunization) contains an antigen that produces a primary immune response but doesn’t produce such severe symptoms  
🗑
Artificially acquired passive immunity   Antibodies injected, Example: Hepatitis shot, Tetanus  
🗑
Naturally acquired passive immunity   Antibodies passed from mom to child during pregnancy. Passive: baby gets mom’s antibodies. Natural: not a vaccine  
🗑
Anaphylaxis/Allergic Reactions   Severe type I reaction. Hives, Bronchioles constrict, face, tongue, throat swell. Insect bites.  
🗑
Type III Hypersensitivity   Autoimmunity  
🗑
Type IV - Cell mediated   Delayed reaction allergy. Cell-Mediated - Involves T lymphocytes. Chemical exposure (household, cosmetics). Dermatitis. Takes 48 hours.  
🗑
