Chapter 2: Immunity Flashcards
General Adaptation Syndrome
Cluster of systemic manifestations that represent an attempt to cope with a stressor.
Local Adaptation Syndrome
Localized version of the general adaptation syndrome.Restricted to one location
Two stress adaptions?
Local Adaptation Syndrome, General Adaptation Syndrome
Physiological Response to Stress
increased heart rate, increased respirations, diaphoresis (sweating), increased blood flow to muscles
Systems activated during the Physiological Response to Stress
sympathetic and the endocrine systems
Stages of General Adaptation Syndrome
Alarm, Resistance, Exhaustion
Alarm Stage
the fight-or-flight response
Resistance Stage
adaption, return to normal
Exhaustion
Adaption failing
Example of Local Adaptation Syndrome
seen in the local inflammatory reaction that results from tissue trauma.
Adaptive coping strategies of Adaption syndrome
physical activity, adequate sleep, optimal dietary status, relaxation, distraction, and biofeedback
Maladaptive coping strategies of Adaption syndrome
smoking, consuming alcohol or drugs, and overeating
Immune system
Self-regulated
Self-limiting
Must be able to distinguish self from non-self
First Line of Defense
Nonspecific - Does NOT distinguish between pathogens
Second Line of Defense
Responds to antigens that penetrate the first line
Inflammatory response consist of?
Pyrogens
Interferons
Complement proteins
Inflammatory Reaction
erythema (redness), edema (swelling), heat, and pain at the site of injury
Process of Second Line of Defense
Vasoconstriction -> vasodilatation -> Leukocyte migration -> Phagocytosis of pathogens
Pyrogens
Fever producing molecules
Pyrogens produced by?
macrophages that have been exposed by bacteria
Interferons
do not protect cells already infected by a virus, but rather stop the spread of the virus to new cells.
Complement Proteins
form a membrane attack complex which attacks and kill the bacteria.
Third Line of Defense
Specific, Uses Memory system, Distinguishes
Third Line of Defense consist of?
T cells: cell-mediated immunity,
B cells: humoral (antibody) mediated immunity
Two types of Acquired Immunity
Active immunity, Passive Immunity
Physiological Response to Stress
increased heart rate, increased respirations, diaphoresis (sweating), increased blood flow to muscles
Systems activated during the Physiological Response to Stress
sympathetic and the endocrine systems
Stages of General Adaptation Syndrome
Alarm, Resistance, Exhaustion
Alarm Stage
the fight-or-flight response
Resistance Stage
adaption, return to normal
Exhaustion
Adaption failing
Example of Local Adaptation Syndrome
seen in the local inflammatory reaction that results from tissue trauma.
Adaptive coping strategies of Adaption syndrome
physical activity, adequate sleep, optimal dietary status, relaxation, distraction, and biofeedback
Maladaptive coping strategies of Adaption syndrome
smoking, consuming alcohol or drugs, and overeating
Acquired Immunity
The immunity that is not present at birth but acquired after that.
Active immunity
disease and vaccinations, long lasting
