16
Q

Shift to the left

A

Increase in Bands (= immature neutrophils) indicating BACTERIAL infection

17
Q

Increased lymphocytes indicate

A

VIRAL infection

18
Q

Leukocytosis indicates

A

inflammation

19
Q

Resolution healing

A

minimal tissue damage

20
Q

Regeneration

A

Damaged tissue replaced by functional tissue

21
Q

Replacement

A

Functional tissue is replaced by scar tissue

22
Q

Hypertrophic scar tissue

A

Fibrous tissue with lots of collagen deposits

Ex: keloid formation

23
Q

Ulcerations

A

Cause further tissue breakdown and impairs blood supply to the area

24
Q

MHC 1

A

On all nucleated cells to prevent immune cells from destroying self cells

25
MHC 2
On immune cells, antigen-presenting cells, B Cells, and macrophages that have engulfed an antigen
26
IgG
Smallest (can cross placenta) Main antibody in subsequent response Antitoxic, antiviral, antibacterial
27
IgM
First in the initial response to an antigen Large size - stays in the blood Activates the complement system Found on B cell surfaces with IgD
28
IgA
Part of the mucous membrane, skin, and first line of defense Passed through break feeding Anti-viral and anti-bacterial
29
IgD
On B cell membranes with IgM | Stimulates B cells
30
IgE
Allergies and parasites Attaches to mast cells and basophils - releases histamine/triggers inflammatory response Type I hypersensitivity
31
Titre
Measures levels of serum immunoglobulins
32
Indirect Coombs Test
detects Rh in blood (for blood transfusions)
33
Elisa
Detects for HIV antibodies
34
MHC typing
Tissue matching before transplant procedures
