A&P 3.10 Immunity Flashcards
Extensor hallicis longus
A, I, O
Origin: anteromedial surface of the fibula and interosseous membrane
Insertion: base of distal phalanx of great toe (hallicis)
Action: extension/dorsiflexion the big toe
Extensor digitorum longus
A, I , O
Origin: lateral condyle of tibia and superior 2/3 anterior margin of fibula
Insertion: by four tendons to dorsal surface of bases of proximal, middle, and digital phalanges of toes 2-5
Action: extension/dorsiflexion of the 4 lateral toes
Lymphocytes
T - cells- cancer & virus- attack directly
B - cells - bacteria - antibody producing before attack
NK- attack everything that is not self
Monocytes
Monocytes in blood stream
Macrophages in tissue
Can be either fixed/stationary or wandering/roaming about
WBC production
Produced by pluripotent stem cells in red bone marrow
Using hemopoiesis or hematopoiesis
Non-specific immunity
General defense that lacks specific responses
Responds same way regardless of invader
Acts against anything not recognized as self
INNATE IMMUNITY
Mechanisms of nonspecific defense
Species resistance - human properties that protect the body from pathogens that are not of the same species
First line of defense
Mechanical and physical barriers
Epidermis and mucous membranes - prevent foreign substances from entering the internal environment
NON-SPECIFIC
Second line of defense
Inflammation Phagocytosis Neutrophils Macrophages Natural killer cells Interferon Complement
NON-SPECIFIC
Inflammation
Isolates pathogen and stimulates fast arrival immune cells
Phagocytosis
Ingestion and destruction of pathogen by
Neutrophils
Macrophages
Neutrophils
Phagocytosis
First phagocytes to arrive
Macrophages
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
Natural killer cells
Non-specific because of wise variety of possible actions
Lymphocytes that tend to kill viruses and cancer
Attack directly
Proteins
Interferon
Complement
