Final exam Flashcards
MCSF function
Promotes monocyte differentiation into macrophage
Why don’t macrophages undergo diapedesis?
Because they reside extravascular
Macrophage size
80-100 microns
Motility definition
Ability to move spontaneously by expanding energy
Define phagocytes
Cells that protect a body by ingesting foreign objects
Clonal selection theory
Clonal selection theory explains how adaptive immunity works, stating that lymphocytes specific to an antigen are selectively activated and proliferate upon encountering that antigen.
2 subtypes of acquired immunity
Humoral
Cell mediated
(T/F) NK cells require stressed cells to display MHC or Ab
False
TH1 is for humoral/cell mediated
Cell mediated
TH2 is for humoral/cell mediated
Humoral immunity
MHC classes
MHC only displays peptides
Class 1: Intracellular source
Class 2: Extracellular source
Two ways antibody contribute to immunity
- Activation of complement system
- leads to pathogen lysis - Opsonization
- leads to phagocytosis
4 main steps in wound healing
- Injury
- few mins - Coagulation
- few hours - Inflammation
- few hours - Repair and remodeling
- weeks ~ months
Describe the difference between angiogenesis and vasculogenesis
Angiogenesis:
* Formation of new blood vessels from pre-existing ones.
* Occurs during wound healing, tumor growth, and tissue repair.
* Involves sprouting, proliferation, migration, and remodeling of endothelial cells.
Vasculogenesis:
* De novo formation of blood vessels from precursor cells.
* Occurs during embryonic development.
* Involves differentiation of angioblasts into endothelial cells and their assembly into primitive vascular structures.
Granulation tissue
- type of connective tissue
- scar tissue in early wound healing
- subset of fibrosis
- highly vascular, red, bumpy tissue, often moist, bleeds easily
When does remodeling phase begin
When production and degradation of fibrosis collagen is equal
