CH.1 & 3 Flashcards
what is the main function of the immune system
ID self and non self (pathogens)
what are the 2 compartments of the immune system
innate immune system and adaptive immune system
what type of immune system gets rid of pathogens
both innate and adaptive
what type of immune system is more specific
adaptive immune system
what makes the adaptive immune system more specific
antigen-specific receptors
what are the 3 parts of an immune system
- recognize pathogen
- an innate response
- an adaptive response
is a specific immune response slower or faster than an innate immune response
faster
is a specific immune response larger or smaller than an innate immune response
larger
skin, mucous mmb, secretions, normal flora, innate immune cells, inflammation, complement, antimicrobial substances is what type of immunity
innate
what is the 1st line of defense of immunity (5)
skin
mucous mmb
secretions
normal flora
tears
what is the 2nd line of defense of immunity (4)
innate immune cells,
inflammation,
complement,
antimicrobial substances
what is the 3rd line of defense of immunity (2)
B cells
T. cells
Specialized lymphocytes are what type of immunity
Adaptive immunity
what type of immunity has an immediate response to a pathogen
innate
what does innate immunity promote
phagocytosis
Innate immunity is the ability of the host to resist infection by means of _____ ______ body functions
normally present
does a person need prior exposure to a pathogen to have a innate response
no
true or false: innate immunity has no memory
true
Since innate immunity has no memory what kind of response does it have all pathogens
identical response
true or false: if an innate response is had with the same exposure the response will be different each time
F
what are some of the physical barriers of the innate immune system. (5)
skin
mucous mmb
sweat
cilia
urine
what are some of the phagocytic cells of the innate immune system
macrophages
neutrophils
what are some of the protective chem of the innate immune system
acidic pH
surface lipids

saliva
digestive tract enzymes
what are some of the serum proteins of the innate immune system
complement
what is the largest external defense mechanism
skin
def? a small protein produced by skin cells that has antibacterial effects
psoriasin
what chem is in sweat that helps the immune system
lactic acid

keratinocytes
what innate immunity does the stomach have
gastric acid
what anatomical barrier prevents a pathogen from entering the body (2)
skin
mucosal mmb
microbiota
normal flora
what protein is produced in the GI tract to kill bacteria
colicins
what kind of innate immune system cell is most effective antigen presenting cell
dendritic cell
what reactants enhances phagocytosis
acute phase reactants
how does the immune system distinguish between good and bad bacteria
pathogen recognition receptors
when are pathogen recognition receptors able to recognize pathogens
after they get through the 1st line of defense
what does pathogen recognition receptors bind together
pathogen and phagocytic cells
what common structural element do toll like receptors have
leucine rich repeats
how do pathogen recognition receptors ID self from non self
pathogen associated molecular patterns (PAMPS)
what cells are pathogen recognition receptors found most of the time
on macrophages and neutrophils
what produces acute phase reactants
hepatocytes
what kind of protein increases with infection
C-reative protein
SED
what kind of inflammation causes C reactive protein to increase
acute
what kind of inflammation causes high sensitivity C reactive protein to increase
chronic
