Question
Answer
complement system   Helps body recognize foreign and take action to remove it.  
🗑
Complement system activated   during an immune reaction with IgG or IgM  
🗑
Complement is made up of a group of   inactive proteins circulating in blood sequence of events (like dominoes)  
🗑
The complement system leads to a sequence of events results in   destruction of antigen  
🗑
The complement system initiates   inflammatory response  
🗑
chemical mediators are involved in   immune reaction and variety of functions  
🗑
Chemical mediator: complement   group of inactive proteins in circulation  
🗑
when complement is activated it stimulates   release of other chemical mediators  
🗑
complement promotes   inflammation, chemotaxis and phagocytosis  
🗑
Chemical mediator: histamine   released from mast cells and basophils (esp with allergic reactions)  
🗑
histamine causes   vasodilation and increased vascular permeability or edema  
🗑
What causes contractions of bronchiolar smooth muscle and pruritis   histamine  
🗑
Kinin cause   vasodilation, increase permeability (edema) and pain.  
🗑
Prostaglandins   group of lipids  
🗑
cause inflammation, vasodilation, and increased permeability and pain   prostaglandins  
🗑
Leukotrienes   group of lipids derived from mast cells and basophils.  
🗑
Causes contraction of bronchiolar smooth muscle   leukotrienes  
🗑
Leuktriene is a chemical mediator   has a role in development of inflammation  
🗑
Cytokines are messengers produced by   macrophages and activated t cells  
🗑
cytokines stimulate   activation & prolifertaion of b and t cells  
🗑
Is the communicator btween cells   cytokines  
🗑
cytokines are involved in   inflammation, fever, and leukocytosis  
🗑
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) stimulates   fever, chemotaxis and t cells  
🗑
TNF is the mediator in   tissue wasting and septic shock  
🗑
Stimulates necrosis in some tumors   TNF  
🗑
Chemotactic factors   smoke signal that attracts phagocytes to area of inflamation.  
🗑
cytokines   proteins that communicate between cells and regulate tissue growth and development  
🗑
