chapter 21 part A Flashcards
____ provides resistance to disease
immune system
immune system is made up of two systems
________
- 1st line; mucous membrane, skin
-2nd line; antimicrobial proteins, phagocytes, inflammation
_______
-3rd line; attack particular foreign invaders
innate (nonspecific)
adaptive (specific)
phagocytes, NKC, inflammatory response (macrophages, mast cells, WBC, inflammatory chemicals), antimicrobial proteins ( interferons and complements) pattern recognition receptors are all part of the what line of defense?
2nd
WBC that ingest and digest foreign invaders
phagocytes
most abundant phagocyte, but die fighting; become phagocytic on exposure to infectious material
neutrophils
develop from monocytes and are chief phagocytic cells; most robust phagoctye
macrophages
wander thru tissue spaces; ex: aveolar macrophages
free macrophages
permanent residents of some organs like microglia in the brain
fixed macrophages
- phagocyte adhere to pathogen or debris
- phagocyte forms pseudopods that eventually engulf the particle forming a phagosome
- lysosome fuse with phagocytic vessel, form phagolysosome
- toxic compounds and lysosomal enzyme destroy pathogens
- sometimes exocytosis of the vesicale remove indigestible/residual material
phagocytosis
opsonization
immune system uses antibodies or complement proteins as opsonins that coat pathogens (coat a microorganisms and provide binding sites)
opsonins
act as handle for phagocytes to grab on to, enhancing phagocytosis
cytoplasmic extensions
pseudopods
phagocytic vesicale
phagosome
phagosome fsing with lysosome
phagolysosome
kill pathogen resistant to lysosomal enzyme by
- releasing cell killing free radicals
- produce oxidizing chemicals
- increase pH and osmolarity of phagolysosome
respiratory burst
microbe killing proteins in neutrophils
defensins
- nonphagocytic that patrol blood and lymph
- can kill cancer and virus infected cells b4 activating adaptive immune system
- attack cells that lack “self” cell surface receptors
- kill by apoptosis
- secrete inflammation enhancement chemicals
Natural killer cells
triggered when body tissues are injured
- redness, heat, swelling, pain
- prevent spread of damaging agents
- dispose of cell debris and pathogen
-alert adaptive system
inflammation
when chemicals are released into ECF by injured tissues, immune cells, or blood proteins
ex: histamine is released by mast cells is key inflammatory chemicals
inflammatory chemical release
macrophages and epithelial cells of boundary tissues bear special pattern recognition receptors called
toll like receptors TLRs
activated TLRs trigger release of _____ that promote inflammation
cytokines
cell signaling molecules that stimulate movement of cells toward site of inflammation, infection
cytokines
-cause vasodilation of local arterioles
-make capillaries leaky
-attract leukocytes to area
-
kinins, prostaglandins, complement
vasodilation causes_____ that leads to redness and heat
hyperemia
