(Finals) MicroBio Lec Quiz 2 Flashcards
Keeps the pathogen outside or neutralizes infection before it begins
FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE
Physical factors (Skin and MM, mucus, cilia, cerumen, flow of urine, and vaginal
secretion) and Chemical factors (Perspiration, Saliva, Gastric juices, Urine,
Vaginal secretion)
▪ FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE
Slows or contains the infection when the first line of defense fails
SECOND LINE OF DEFENSE
▪ Includes defensive cells (phagocytic cells), inflammation, fever, antimicrobial
substances
▪ SECOND LINE OF DEFENSE
Targets specific pathogens for destruction when second line of defense fails
▪ THIRD LINE OF DEFENSE
▪ Memory component → allows the body to effectively combat the same
pathogens in the future
THIRD LINE OF DEFENSE
allows the body to effectively combat the same pathogens in the future
Memory component
how many WBC per cubic millimeter
5000-10000
Number of leukocyte found in the blood
WHITE BLOOD CELL COUNT
60-70% of WBC
Neutrophils
20-25% of WBC
Lymphocytes
3-8% of WBC
Monocytes
2-4% of WBC
Eosinophils
0.5-1% of WBC
Basophils
Defense present at birth
INNATE IMMUNE SYSTEM
▪ Rapid but non-specific
INNATE IMMUNE SYSTEM
Response of innate system are activated by what?
Protein receptors in the plasma membrane of phagocytic cell (Toll-like receptor)
Activated by pathogenic compounds called Pathogen-Associated Molecular Patterns (PAMPs) (E.g. LPS, Peptidoglycan, DNA and RNA)
No memory component
▪ INNATE IMMUNE SYSTEM
Slow and specific
▪ ADAPTIVE IMMUNE SYSTEM
▪ Memory component (rapid and stronger
response to same pathogen at a later date)
ADAPTIVE IMMUNE SYSTEM
Binding of TLR and PAMPs create what?
Cytokines
What is TLR, and what is its use?
TLR = Toll-like receptors
Protein receptor in plasma membrane of phagocytic cells that activates innate system
What is PAMPs, and what is its use?
PAMPs = Pathogen-Associated Molecular Patterns
Pathogenic compounds that activates the response of Innate system (trigger a host cell’s immune response)
+Examples are LPS, Peptidoglycan, RNA, and DNA
Non-keratinized epithelial cells that lines RT, GIT, GUT
MUCUS MEMBRANE
