The immune response, microbes and disease, and epidemiology

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
Define antigen   something that can trigger an immune response  
🗑
Define innate response   fast acting response, uses limited receptors to recognize molecules shared among large groups of microbes  
🗑
Does the innate response have memory?   No  
🗑
Define adaptive response   slow response, made up of cell-mediate and humoral immunity  
🗑
Does the adaptive response have memory?   Yes  
🗑
List the cells of the immune response   granulocytes, mononuclear phagocytes, dendritic cells, lymphocytes  
🗑
List some granulocytes   neutrophils, mast cells, basophils, eosinophils  
🗑
What do neutrophils do?   phagocytosis in the innate response; most abundant cell in the immune response  
🗑
What do mast cells, basophils, and eosinophils do?   they are involved in the parasite (allergic) response; in innate response  
🗑
List some mononuclear phagocytes   monocytes and macrophages  
🗑
What do monocytes/macrophages do?   monocytes are in the blood, macrophages in tissue; phagocytes; trigger immune response upon detection of invader; use APCs (Antigen Presenting Cells)  
🗑
What do dendritic cells do?   they are messengers; play a role in BOTH innate and adaptive responses; act by carrying signals to T cells  
🗑
List lymphocytes   B cells and T cells  
🗑
What do B cells do?   recognize free antigen using its B cell receptor; will differentiate into a plasma cell and secrete antibodies upon activation with T cells help; is an APC  
🗑
T cells must be shown antigen by one of the following APCs   Helper T cells, cytotoxic T cells, natural killer cells  
🗑
What to helper T cells do   have CD4 co-receptor that interacts with MHC class 2 molecule on APC; tells other cells what to do  
🗑
What do cytotoxic T cells do?   Have CD8 co-receptor that interacts with MHC class 1 molecule on ALL NUCLEATED cells; destroys target cells  
🗑
What do natural killer cells do?   augment the CD8 response by recognizing cells that lack MHC class 1  
🗑
What are first line barriers?   skin and mucous membranes  
🗑
What does lysosome do?   enzymes that degrade peptidoglycan; found in tears, saliva, blood, and phagocytes  
🗑
What does perioxidase do?   found in saliva, body tissues, and phagocytes; breaks down hydrogen peroxide to produce reactive oxygen  
🗑
What does lactoferrin do?   sequesters iron from microorganisms; found in saliva, some phagocytes, blood and tissue fluids  
🗑
What do defensins do?   antimicrobial peptides inserted into microbial membrane; found on mucous membranes and in phagocytes  
🗑
What is normal flora?   microorganisms found on body surfaces of healthy individuals; protects through competitive exclusion  
🗑
What are toll-like receptors?   receptors that recognize families of compounds unique to microbes  
🗑


   

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.
