A

-Adaptive specific
-Develops as the body is exposed to antigens throughout life

Q

Innate immunity

A

non specific
always prepared and ready
does not remember infectious agents
act immediately after exposure
anatomic, physiological, phagocytic, inflammatory

Q

Adaptive immunity

A

Highly specific
Only comes for antigenic challenge
remembers infectious agents
require time before it can act on foreign substances
humoral and cell medicated components

Mechanical defenses

A

Peristalsis of intestines, mucociliary escalator of respiratory tract remove microbes, shedding of skin cells, flays hint of urine

Q

PAMP’s

A

pathogen associated molecular patterns,
structures are molecules common to many groups of pathogens, example: peptidoglycan, flagellin, lipopolysaccharide, Lipo peptides, nucleic acid

16
Q

Cytokines

A

Chemical messengers, regulate leukocyte response, host physiology

17
Q

PRR (pattern recognition receptors)

A

see signs of microbial invasion, lead to cytokine secretion (located on cell surface, an Endosome, and phagosome, free in cytoplasm)

18
Q

Toll like receptors

A

host Cell receptors that recognize unique bacterial components.

19
Q

Toll like receptors

A

anchored in membranes of sentinel cells, monitor, extracellular environment

20
Q

Cytokines

A

soluble proteins, chemical messengers, produce in response to an antigen, regulate the innate and adaptive, immune system’s, formation of blood cells

21
Q

Chemokines

A

recruit WBC to site of infection, tissue damage, inflammation

22
Q

CSF

A

multiplication and differentiation of leukocytes

23
Q

Interferons

A

Control of viral infections, regulation of immune responses

24
Q

interleukins

A

produced by leukocytes, important, and innate and adaptive immunity

25
Tumor necrosis factor
inflammation, apoptosis
26
Interferons
stimulate nearby cells to stop transcription, shut down proteins synthesis, which inhibits, viral replication, promote apoptosis in cells, infected with virus
27
complement system 
compliments activities of adaptive immune system
28
three ways the complement system is activated? 
-alternative pathway – C3 binds to foreign invaders and recruits other proteins in the cascade -lectin pathway -classical pathway
29
alternative pathway
triggered when C3 B binds to foreign cell surfaces
30
lectin pathway
triggered by the binding of mannose binding lectin‘s to mannose on microbial cells
31
classical pathway
activated by antibodies, bound to antigen, which interact with complement system
