Question
Answer
show - Erythrocytes (RBCs) - Leukocytes (WBCs) - Thrombocytes (Platelets)  
🗑
show The leukocytes are involved in immune system functions.  
🗑
Define PLURIPOTENT STEM CELL:   show
🗑
show Myeloid stem cell Lymphoid stem cell  
🗑
show RBC Platelet Monocyte Granulocyte  
🗑
show NK cell B lymphocyte T lymphocyte  
🗑
What are the types of Granulocytes?   show
🗑
Monocytes become what type of cell in tissue?   show
🗑
show Plasma Cell  
🗑
show ferrying oxygen & carbon dioxide between lungs and tissues  
🗑
Functions of Platelet:   show
🗑
Functions of Monocyte:   show
🗑
Functions of Neutrophil:   show
🗑
show combats effects of histamine during allergic reactions; attacks parasites  
🗑
show releases heparin, histamine, & serotonin to intensify inflammation  
🗑
Agranulocytes:   show
🗑
show developed in bone marrow; becomes plasma cell and secretes antibodies against bacteria  
🗑
show developed in thymus; attacks viruses, fungi, transplanted cells, cancer cells, some bacteria in highly targeted ways  
🗑
show Any molecule capable of stimulating an immune reaction (most are proteins); don’t have to be “foreign”. Ex: measles virus Ex: transplanted tissue  
🗑
show small non-protein molecules that combine with a self-protein and stimulate an immune reaction. Ex: poison ivy  
🗑
Define: CYTOKINES:   show
🗑
show custom made proteins designed to attack other proteins; are released into bloodstream by plasma (B) cells.  
🗑
show these attack cells have been stimulated by Ag.  
🗑
show immune system attacks self proteins, rather than non-self (foreign) proteins.  
🗑
Define: MACROPHAGES:   show
🗑
show Skin Sclera Respiratory tract Gastrointestinal tract Genitourinary tract Body fluids Cellular defenses Molecular defenses  
🗑
What are the 2 distinct but inter-related components of Immunity?   show
🗑
Define HUMORAL IMMUNITY:   show
🗑
Define CELLULAR IMMUNITY:   show
🗑
show NK cells act as a first line of defense against invaders, needing no activation.  
🗑
Where are B Cells educated?   show
🗑
Describe B Cells:   show
🗑
show Stimulated B cells become plasma cells that secrete immunoglobulins (mediators of humoral immunity) after encountering antigens.  
🗑
show There are 5 classes of immunoglobulins that form antibodies: Ig: G, M, D, A, E, (Ig stands for immunoglobulin)  
🗑
What are the most prevalent antibodies?   show
🗑
show Big heavy, first to be produced  
🗑
show long term protein  
🗑
show mucosal "immune paint"  
🗑
show parasites, allergies, (w mast cells)  
🗑
show on surface of B cells.  
🗑
show instead of producing Ab, they hang out as a trigger for a fast response the next time the Ag is encountered; this forms the basis for vaccinations. B cell function is critically dependent on T cells (to be discussed).  
🗑
Where are T Cells educated?   show
🗑
show T cells do 2 jobs: 1) induce humoral immunity (via B cells) AND 2) carry out cellular immunity.  
🗑
What is the percentage of T Cells in the blood?   show
🗑
How do T cells recognize antigens?   show
🗑
How do T cells identify pathogens?   show
🗑
What are basic functions of T Cells?   show
🗑
show helper, suppressor, memory, and cytotoxic – name indicates their jobs.  
🗑
How does "memory" differ between T and B cells?   show
🗑
show Macrophages process and present antigen to CD4+ helper T cells. Secrete cytokines influencing T-cell and B-cell, endothelium, and fibroblasts. Phagocytosis to kill microbes coated by antibody and/or complement, also important in humoral immunity.  
🗑
show They are 10-15% of circulating blood lymphocytes. They contain abundant granules & can lyse tumor cells, virally infected cells, and some normal cells without prior sensitization (thus they represent the 1st line of defense).  
🗑
show NK cells will not lyse healthy nucleated cells, but if a cell becomes “weird” (viral infection, tumor transformation, etc.), the NK cell will attack.  
🗑
How do NK cells destroy antigens?   show
🗑


   

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.
