Chapter 3 Book ?'s Flashcards
the immune system usually defends the body against foreign substances that are called
antigens
memory is an important function of the immune system because it
allows faster future immune responses
immunization with a vaccine works by
producing active acquired immunity
important fact about b-cell lymphocyte
derived from a precursor stem cell
macrophage is a cell of the immune system that
can be activated by lymphokines
correct statement when applied to natural killer cells
they are part of body’s innate immunity
type of immunopathology are the cells of the body no longer tolerated and treated by the immune system as antigens
autoimmune disease
during anaphylactic type of hypersensitivity reaction, plasma cells
produce antibody called IgE
type of hypersensitivity reaction involves activated compliment
cytotoxic
type of lymphocyte matures in thymus, produces lymphokines and can increase or suppress humoral immunity
t-cell lymphocyte
immune system antibodies are protiens that are
also called immunoglobulins
tyhpe of immunologic disease involves a decreased number or activity of lymphoid cells
immunodeficiency
humoral immunity involves the production of
antibodies
laboratory measurement of a specific antibody level in the blood called
titer
type of immunity may be provided immediately to dental personnel after needlestick accident
acquired passive immunity
situation would result in least risk of drug allergy
use with children
involved in regulation of both humoral and cell-mediated immunity
cell mediated immunity
involved in communication btwn lymphocytes within immune system
systemic lupus erythematosus
