Q

Macrophages

A

Monocytes in blood, macrophages in tissue
Capable of consuming many pathogens
Arrive second, take longer to arrive, smaller in numbers than neutrophils but they eat more

Q

Natural killer cells

A

Non-specific because of wise variety of possible actions
Lymphocytes that tend to kill viruses and cancer
Attack directly

15
Q

Interferon

A

Protein
Produced by cells after viral infection
Inhibit the spread of the virus

16
Q

Complement

A

Protein

Enzymes that cause “lysis” or rupture of foreign cell

17
Q

Third line of defense

A

Specific or adaptive immunity

Mechanisms by which the immune system is able to recognize, remember and destroy specific types of bacteria or toxins

T and B cells (lymphocytes) derived from hematopoietic stem cells

RECOGNIZE, REMEMBER AND DESTROY

18
Q

T cells

A

Attack pathogens more directly

T cell immune mechanisms are classified as CELL MEDIATED IMMUNITY

19
Q

Development of T cells

A

T cells start in red bone marrow
Go to thymus gland to mature
Migrate to lymph nodes and spleen as mature T cells
T cells defend from viral disease and cancer

20
Q

Cytotoxic

A

Specific T cells cause contact killing/release of macrophages which then eat cells

21
Q

Memory

A

Remain in lymphatic tissue and recognize the original invading antigen to initiate a faster reaction than during first invasion

22
Q

Helper & suppressor

A

Help regulate T & B cells

23
Q

Cell mediated immunity

A

T cell immunity

24
Q

Development of B cells

A

Antibody mediated/humoral immunity
B cells do not attack pathogens themselves but instead produce molecules called antibodies
The antibodies attack pathogens or direct other cells such as phagocytes, to attack them
B cell mechanism are classified as anti-body mediated immunity

25
Q

Development of B cells

A

Occurs as a fetus in the yolk sac. Then in the bone marrow or liver

26
Q

Antibody

A
Plasma protein (immunoglobulin)
A native molecule normally present in the body
Designed to react to or with specific antigen
27
Q

Antigen

A

Antibody generating
Macromolecules (large) that as a result of contact induce the immune system to make certain responses
Most antigens are formed proteins
Many are located on the walls or outer membranes of micro-organisms, or the outer coat of virus

28
Q

Antigen-antibody reactions

A

Antibodies fight disease first by recognizing substances that are foreign or abnormal
Antibodies bind producing one or more effects
These effects can transform antigens that are toxins into harmless substances, or make antigens stick together for phagocytize cells to dispose of more rapidly

29
Q

Disorders of the immune system

A

Either over react to antigens or fail to react to antigens to produce disease

30
Q

Hypersensitivities

A

Over reactions

A type of inappropriate or excessive response of the immune system

31
Q

Hypersensativities

A

Allergy
Autoimmunity
Isoimmunity

32
Q

Allergy

A

Hypersensitivity to harmless environmental antigens

33
Q

Autoimmunity

A

An inappropriate or excessive response to self antigens

34
Q

Isoimmmunity

A

A normal reaction (often undesirable) of the immune system to antigens from a different individual of the same species (pregnancy, tissue transplant)

35
Q

Deficiencies of the immune system

A

AIDS & congenital deficiency of the immune system
