🗑
The immune system   show
🗑
show microorganisms like bacteria, viruses, and protozoans  
🗑
show abnormal cells reproduce and form tumors that may become cancerous and spread  
🗑
show —molecules on the surface of human cells that are unique to an individual  
🗑
Non–self markers   show
🗑
show —the ability of our immune system to attack abnormal or foreign cells but spare our own normal cells  
🗑
Two major categories of immune mechanisms   show
🗑
Innate immunity   show
🗑
show acts as a specific defense against specific threatening agents  
🗑
show —epithelial barrier cells, phagocytes (neutrophils, macrophages), and natural killer cells; chemicals used in innate immunity—complement and interferon  
🗑
show lymphocytes called T cells and B cells  
🗑
Cytokines   show
🗑
Species resistance   show
🗑
show our first line of defense  
🗑
mucous membranes   show
🗑
Lines of defense. three layers of protection.   show
🗑
second line of defense   show
🗑
show —tissue damage elicits responses to counteract injury  
🗑
show include histamine, kinins, prostaglandins, and related compounds  
🗑
show substances that attract white blood cells to the area of infection in a process called chemotaxis  
🗑
Signs of inflammation   show
🗑
show —occurs from a body-wide inflammatory response  
🗑
Phagocytosis   show
🗑
show — process by which immune cells (neutrophils) squeeze themselves through the wall of a blood vessel to get to the site of injury/infection  
🗑
show —mark foreign cells for destruction by phagocytes  
🗑
show —chemical attraction of cells to the source of the chemical attractant  
🗑
show —most numerous type of phagocyte; usually first to arrive at site of injury; migrates out of bloodstream; kills bacteria; forms pus  
🗑
Macrophages   show
🗑
show —type of macrophage with long branches or extensions. Examples are histiocytes in connective tissue, microglia in nervous system, and Kupffer cells  
🗑
show —lymphocytes that kill tumor cells and cells infected by viruses  
🗑
show —lysing cells by damaging plasma membranes  
🗑
Interferon (INF)   show
🗑

🗑
 Opsonization   show
🗑
show B lymphocytes (B cells) and T lymphocytes (T cells)  
🗑
cluster designation (CD)   show
🗑
show continuous recirculation  
🗑
show —antibody-mediated immunity (humoral immunity); produce antibodies that attack pathogens  
🗑
T cells attack   show
🗑
Activation of lymphocytes requires two stimuli:   show
🗑
show where they develop — in bone marrow, thymus gland, lymph nodes, and spleen  
🗑
show 1.Pre-B cells develop by a few months of age 2.occurs in lymph nodes and spleen—activation of B cell after it binds a specific antigen  
🗑
show ancestors to antibody-secreting plasma cells  
🗑
Antibodies   show
🗑
show two heavy and two light polypeptide chains; each molecule has two antigen-binding sites and two complement-binding sites  
🗑
Five classes of antibodies M, G, A, E, and D   show
🗑
show —it is the predominant class produced after initial contact with an antigen  
🗑
IgG   show
🗑
show —major class of antibody in the mucous membranes of respiratory and GI systems and in saliva and tears  
🗑
IgE   show
🗑
show —small amount in blood; precise function unknown  
🗑
show : immunoglobulin M (IgM), immunoglobulin G (IgG), immunoglobulin A (IgA), immunoglobulin E (IgE), and immunoglobulin D (IgD). Notice that each IgM molecule has five Y  
🗑

🗑
show —regulate the function of B cells, T cells, phagocytes, and other leukocytes  
🗑
show —regulatory T cells that suppress lymphocyte function, thus regulating immunity and promoting self-tolerance  
🗑
show —genetic mechanisms put innate immune mechanisms in place during development in the womb  
🗑
show resistance developed after birth; two types: natural and artificial  
🗑
show results from nondeliberate exposure to antigens  
🗑
