Chp 21 Class Recording Flashcards
Is vasoconstriction or vasodilation occurring during inflammation
vasodilation
luekocyte where a majority of the cell is the nucleus
lymphocyte
what causes vasodilation
basophils release histamine, promoting inflammation and also has the ability to vasodialate in the area due to other protein markers called chynins prostaglandins and luekotrians
chynins prostaglandins and luekotrians cause
inflammation
causes permeability of blood vessel to increase so WBC can get into the surrounding tissues
vasodilation
Why does a bee sting swell up so bad
to create a barrier through vasodilation so it doesn’t spread to the rest of the circulatory system
swelling caused by excess fluid trapped in your body’s tissues.
edema
antimicrobial proteins are a part of what immune system
innate
are your antibodies
b cells
are your soilders that come from the thymus
t cells
t cells and b cells are on what side
acquired
second line of defense
innate
attack the microorganism/ pathogens directly
antimicrobial protein
the most important antimicrobials we have all go through
a different mechanism of how they do that fight
examples of different ways antimicrobials fight
interferons
a blocker that does not allow the virus to reproduce
interferon
a totally foreign material with no DNA to reproduce
virus
what does a virus need to reproduce
your dna
what virus does your cell not even recognize that its there
HIV
how do interferons works
when a virus enters the cell, instead of a new virus being able to reproduce it says my interferon genes turn on in that cells and within that DNA that virus is going to use i also have interferon molecules produced so the virus takes those blockers with it. Then he virus can’t exit the cell due to the blockers and then the cell dies.
blocks viral reproduction
interferon
c blocker
interferon
an alpha interferon is created
in a lab
part of the medication for hepatitis c and herpes
alpha interferon
what does an interferon do
blocks reproduction
interferon is useless for
bacteria
proteins that have iron in them that bind to iron free floating in our plasma.
transferons
what uses our own iron to reproduce
bacteria
When we bind to iron we
inhibit bacterial growth
if we have transferons in our blood what does that mean
that it will be harder for bacteria to attach and reproduce
how many plasma proteins are there floating around in our bodies at all times as inactive elements
20
complement system enhances
every single part of your immune system. Both sides
complement system is designed to
kill all kinds of bacteria and other microbial, or parasites
Interferons deal with
viruses
what does chemotaxis mean
poison rods
