CHAPTER 31 part 1 Flashcards
the body’s specific protective response to a foreign agent or organism
immunity
the study of diseases that results from dysfunction within the immune system
immunopathology
the bone marrow has two types of cells:
b cells
t cells
the b cells mature in _____
bone marrow
the t cells mature in _____
thymus
monocytes responsible for engulfing and destroying foreign body and toxins
phagocytosis
NONSPECIFIC RESPONSE to any foreign invader
natural immunity
SPECIFIC RESPONSE against a foreign antigen
acquired immunity
immunologic defense DEVELOPED BY A PERSONS BODY
active immunity
an immunity that is temporary; results from transfer of a source outside of the body
passive immunity
what are the types of immunoglobulins?
IgD
IgA
IgG
IgE
IgM
defend against foreign invaders
antibodies
circulating plasma proteins made in the liver and ACITIVATED WHEN ANTIBODY CONNECTS TO ANITGEN playing an important defense against microbes
complement system
this blood cells RELEASES CELL MEDIATORS such as histamine, bradykinin, and prostaglandin and ENGULF FOREIGN SUBSTANCES
wbc action
this immunity is the result or prior exposure to an antigen
acquired immunity
this immunity is related to INFLAMMATORY RESPONSE
natural immunity
what type of immunity: a persons resistance to strep throat due to a previous infection
active immunity
what type of immunity: a baby receives a mothers antibodies through the placenta and breast milk
passive
it plays an important role in ‘helping the circulating lymphocytes process antigens’
macrophages
what stage: circulating lymphocytes containing the antigenic message RETURN TO THE NEAREST LYMPH NODE
proliferation stage
what stage: stimulate some of the resident T and B lymphocytes to enlarge, divide, and proliferate
proliferation stage
what stage: macrophages plays an important role in ‘helping the circulating lymphocytes process antigens’
recognition stage
what stage: begin with the PRODUCTION OF THE ANTIBODIES BY THE B LYMPHOCYTES in response to specific antigen
response stage
effector stage consists of:
humoral immunity
cellular immunity
