pyrogen
fever causing substance
pyrogen source of exogenous/endogenous type
from outside (bacteria, fungi)
made inside you (immune response)
3 types of antimicrobial host derived products
defensins, lysozymes, complement proteins
diapedesis
squeezing through vessel walls
margination
clumping along vessel lining
intergins/selectins
selectins: attract white blood cells
intergins: on white blood cells and helps attract to endothelial cells
extravasation
how cells leave the blood vessels
lymph fluid
clear colorless that moves throughout lymphatic system
lymph vessels
transport the lymph fluid
primary organs of lymphatic system
- bone marrow: produces RBC and differentiates B cells)
- thymus: differentiates mature T cells
secondary organs of lymphatic system
- lymph nodes: cleans up pathogens
- spleen: filters blood
serum vs plasma
serum: clear fluid from clotted blood (used in immune therapy)
plasma: clear fluid that separates before clotting
3 kinds of blood cells that function in innate immunity
neutrophils, platelets and leukocytes
contrast where B and T cells mature
b cells mature in bone marrow while t cells mature in thymus
hematopoiesis
production of blood cells
