Immunology
Question | Answer |
---|---|
who presents antigen to the T cells? | Macrophages, dendritic cells, B cells |
what is immunology? | body's defenses mechanisms to protect itself from non self items which may be invading microorganisms, non self materials |
what are the two branches of the immune system? | innate immunity and adaptive immunity |
what are the primary structures of the lymphatic system? | bone marrow, thymus |
what are the secondary structures of the lymphatic system? | lymphatics, fluids, cells |
what are dendritic cells? | cells involved in early immune reactions with foreign tissue, APC |
what are macrophages? | largest phagocytes, ingest and kill foreign cells, required for certain specific immune reactions |
what are B cells? | creates plasma cells and antibodies in the lymph node when stimulated |
what are monocytes? | blood phagocytes that rapidly leave the circulation mature into macrophages and dendritic cells |
what are natural killer cells? | related to T cells but displaying no specificity active against cancerous and virally infected cells |
what is innate immunity? | pre exsisting antigen, non specific defenses, present at birth prior to pathogen exposure, rapid response within hours, not enhanced by exposures, limited number of specificities |
what in adaptive immunity? | immune system responds to an antigen in a specific manner to neutralize the threat and retains memory, slow response, variable, improves during response and numerous highly selective specificities |
what is the first line of defense in innate immunity? | any barrier that blocks invasion at the portal of entry, nonspecific line of defense that limits access to internal tissue but does not involved recognition of specific substance, like skin |
what is an example of mechanical resistance in innate immunity? | skin cells joined by tight junctions, flow of fluids washing surface and getting rid of pathogens like tears and perspiration |

what happens during non specific second line of defense in innate immunity? | injury causes narrowing of BV until clot, release of cytokines by macrophages that are eating bacteria. cytokines god into blood stream and call for help from neutrophils in lymph node. increased diameter of BV allows permeability and edema and swelling |
what are cytokines? | a protein or polypeptide produced by WBC that regulate host defenses |
what happens during phagocytosis in second line defense in innate immunity? | compliment binds to bacteria and coats the surface which attracts phagocyte. Phagocyte binds to compliment with its receptor on its self surface and engulfs bacteria. Initiates acid dump which kills bacteria and releases cytokines to recruit neutrophils |
