Chapter 14 Flashcards
What arrives first at sight of infection?
macrophage
-eats 100 bacteria before its tired
who does macrophage call when there is too much bacteria?
neutrophil
why do neutrophils have a short lifespan?
so they dont accidently kill you because that is all they do and theyre good at it
-can damage your cells in the process of killing bacteria
silent killer in the fluid released to the site of injury?
complement proteins
-rips holes in bacteria
what happens if bacteria is too strong?
dendritic cell collects bacteria, rips it to small peptides and puts them on the surface, enters lymph nodes looking for matching helper t cell
what happens when helper t recognizes dendritic’s molecule?
it is activated and clones itself
-thousands of helper T
-one group goes to site of infection, wakes up macrophages
-one group goes to wake up B cells
what happnes when b and t find each other?
b clones itself and makes antibodies
2,000 per second
-one week into infection the antibodies are working and clumping bacteria
what does clumping allow?
the cells to kill off the bacteria
one group of helper t cells become?
T memory cells
some B cells post infection do what?
stay alive making low amount of antibodies
what is the HIV microbial countermeasure?
APOBEC3
-interferes with HIV genetic material
-causes cytosine deaminase
-acts when the virus is in a host cell and replicating
-messes up reverse transcriptase
which host defenses work immediately
innate
-present at birth and give NON specific resistance
is adaptive immunity instantaneous?
no it take a long time for B and T to wake up
-one week for antibodies
is the second line of defense innate?
yes and it does not develop immunityc
chemical barriers are what defense
first
-ph, lyzoenzyme, digestive enzyme etc
Phagocytosis, inflammation, fever, interferon, complement are examples of?
second innate immune response
-non specific
what is involved in the third response
aquired immunity with B, T and antibodies
components of outer epithelial layer?
compacted epithelial cemented with keratin
why does cholera have a high ID
becuase it is sensitive to stomach acid and needs many cells to make it to infect
where are lysozymes and peroxidase ?
in the saliva
-lyso also in tears
what is the acidic mantle?
slightly acidic silm on the skin
-sebaccious secretion
how does lysozyme kill?
hydrolyzes peptidoglycan in cell wall of bacteria
what are defensins made of?
peptideswha
defensin function?
damage cell membrane and lyse bacteria and fungi
lactic acid and electrolytes are high in?
sweat
what type of pathogen is highly specific
viruses
-have specific host receptors
how do genes change how you can be infected?
mutations like CCR5 for HIV and sickle cell make you naturally more resistant
immunology only involves which defenses?
second and third
molecules shared by microorganisms are?
PAMP
-pathogen associated patterns
what are the WBC receptors for PAMP
PRR
-pathogen recognition receptors
what is a type of PRRR?
TLR
-toll like receptor
list 4 types of immune system
-reticuloendothelial, extracellular fluid, blood stream, lymphatic system
what does RES connect
interconnects cells and meshes connective tissue surrounding organs
what lives in RES
mononuclear phagocyte system
-macrophage ready to attack microbes that make it past first line
water, metabolic proteins, globulins, clotting factor and hormones are in?
plasma
what is serum
liquid portion of the blood after clot forms
-plasma w out clotting factors
