Exam 3 (Chapters 21, 22 & last pt of 20) Flashcards
Pt has advanced liver disease & is experiencing issues w/edema. What is causing the edema?
Diseased liver has decreased its production of plasma proteins which causes a decrease in the colloid osmotic pressure. This leads to decreased capillary reabsorption @ venule end of capillary
Explain hydrostatic pressure (HP) & oncotic pressure (OP) throughout a capillary. How does the net filtration pressure (NFP) differ between these 2 ends in normal physiological state?
- hydrostatic pressure (HP) higher @ arteriole end & lower and venule end
- oncotic pressure (OP) stay the same @ both ends
- pressure changes cause a positive net filtration pressure (NFP) @ arteriole end & negative NFP @ venule end of capillary
- *NFP=HP-OP
What are the diff mechanisms that aid in venous return (return of blood flow back to heart)?
pressure gradient, gravity, skeletal muscle pump, thoracic (respirtatory) pump, cardiac suction, valves in veins
Identify what parts of the body the right & left lymphatic ducts (largests lymphatic vessels) drain lymph from & where the lymph is drained to
- Right lymphatic duct: upper-right side of body
- Thoracic (left lymphatic) duct: most of body
- Lymph drained into subclavian veins
T cells are born in what organ & become mature or immunocompetent in this lymphatic organ?
What is unique about the lymphatic organ where T cells mature?
- born in red bone marrow
- they become immunocompetent in thymus
- thymus is a lymphatic & endocrine organ that secretes hormones which regulate T cell activity & involutes w/age
This secondary lymphatic organ has dual functionss, which it proliferates lymphocytes & monocytes & also removes old RBCs & platelets in circulatory system
- spleen
- white pulp is considered lymphatuc tissue as opposed to the red pulp
- spleen is largest lymphatic organ
Child goes for well check-up & receives a MMR vaccination. What class of immunity does the vaccination provide to the child?
- artificial active
- enables one’s body to make their own antibodies or T cells (vaccine triggers an immune response & not the actual illness)
In a humoral immune response, the 1st step in sequence of events is when the antigen binds to the B cells….also known as?
-Antigen recognition
-antigen binds to B cells w/complementary receptors
-after antigen recognition:
~Amtigen is presented to TH cell (TH cell respond to antigen of MHC-II proteins)
~clonal selection (cell division) occurs
~differentiation (into diff cells)
~antibody produced will react or attack antigen
What type of immunity acts to directly attack & destroy foreign cells or diseased cells in which pathogens have infected the inside of the cells?
-cell-mediated immunity; works through T cells to attack & destroy viruses, parasitic worms, cancer cells & transplanted tissues & organs
What chemical do helper T (TH or CD4) cells secrete that stimulates T & B cell mitosis & maturation?
- interleukins
- chemicals are important for both cell-mediated (T cell) & antibody-mediated (B cell) immunities
What type of T cell secretes perforin, granzymes, interferons & tumor necrosis factor (TNF) in an effort to destroy an infected or foreign cell in body?
Cytotoxic T (TC or CD8) cell
**natural killer cells (lymphocyte) also known to kill perforin & granzymes
Mother provide what class of temporary immunity to her child through the transfer of antibodies
Natural passive immunity (antibodies produced by indiv & transferred to another person)
Which immunoglobulins (Ig) can cross the placenta?
Which Ig is the most abundant?
Which Ig is found in secretions such as tears, saliva, milk & mucus?
-IgG
Natural passive
-IgA
Natural passive
What are the 1st & 2nd lines of defense that are considered to be your innate immunity?
FIRST LINE: skin (defensin ); mucous membranse (mucus, tears, saliva has lysozyme ); areolar tissue (viscous hyaluronic acid)
SECOND LINE:
- WBCs (natural killer cells, phagoctyes , eosinophils, basophils)
- antimicrobial proteins (interferons, complement)
Inflammation
5 classes of Immunoglobulins
- IgG
- IgM
- IgA
- IgE
