53
Q

Outline the baroreceptor reflex

A

Stimulus = high blood pressure
↓
Receptor = increased firing of baroreceptors (in the aorta and carotid arteries)
↓
Coordinator = vasomotor and cardioregulatory centre in the brainstem
↓
Effectors = reduce HR/CO and vasodilation of blood vessels
↓
Response = reduce blood pressure

54
Q

General term for a range of specialised white blood cells that respond to antigens

A

Lymphoctyes

55
Q

Lymphoctyes

A

General term for a range of specialised white blood cells that respond to antigens

56
Q

T cells that contain lethal chemicals that destroy foreign, infected and altered cells (ie cancerous/virus-infected cells)

A

Cytotoxic T cells

57
Q

Cytotoxic T cells

A

T cells that contain lethal chemicals that destroy foreign, infected and altered cells (ie cancerous/virus-infected cells)

58
Q

Phagocytic cell which engulfs and destroys pathogen (second line of defence)
 acts as an antigen presenting cell in the specific immune response

A

Macrophage

59
Q

Macrophage

A

Phagocytic cell which engulfs and destroys pathogen (second line of defence)
 acts as an antigen presenting cell in the specific immune response

60
Q

Antibodies are produced WITHIN the person

A

Active immunity

61
Q

Active immunity

A

Antibodies are produced WITHIN the person

62
Q

Passive immunity

A

Antibodies are produced outside of the body INTRODUCED into the body

63
Q

Antibodies are produced outside of the body INTRODUCED into the body

A

Passive immunity

64
Q

Cells that give long term memory of specific antigen and long lived

A

B – memory cells

65
Q

B – memory cells

A

Cells that give long term memory of specific antigen and long lived

66
Q

Describe the first line of defence

A

non specific/innate
Includes intact skin, mucous membrane and chemical (tears) and microbial barriers that prevent entry of pathogens into the body

67
Q

non specific/innate
Includes intact skin, mucous membrane and chemical (tears) and microbial barriers that prevent entry of pathogens into the body

A

First line of defence

68
Q

Describe the 2nd line of defence

A

non specific/innate
Inflammation –> histamine released causing vasodilation and increased leakiness of WBC and plasma to trap pathogen
Phagocytosis –> phagoctyes engulf and destroy pathogen

69
Q

non specific/innate
Inflammation –> histamine released causing vasodilation and increased leakiness of WBC and plasma to trap pathogen
Phagocytosis –> phagoctyes engulf and destroy pathogen

A

2nd line of defence

70
Q

Describe the 3rd line of defence

A

Adaptive/specific immune response
B and T cells are able to detect and recognise the specific antigens
B - Plasma cells produce antibodies which can detect and destroy the specific antigen.
Cytotoxic T cells release cytotoxins which kill the invading pathogen.
Memory B and T cells remain in the circulation allowing for a faster and stronger response on secondary exposure to the same antigen, hence providing immunity against the disease.
