Human Body Systems Biomedical Science 3.2.1-3.2.5 Flashcards
Also Bloodtyping
Innate Immunity
Natural Immunity-what your genetic determine
Herd Immunity
So many people are protected that the non-protected are also protected
Acquired Immunity (examples)
Adaptive Immunity and Passive Immunity
Adaptive Immunity
a type of of acquired immunity when you are exposed to a certain illness or vaccination
Passive Immunity
a type of acquired immunity that comes from breast feeding or placenta (short term)
Antigen
proteins that are found on the cell surface of pathogens and signal they are non-cells
Antibodies
proteins that are made by B-cells to attach to specific antigens
Antivirals
medicines that are only good for killing bacteria
Skin
1st Line of Defense: Sheils/forms a barrier with compact cells
Mucous Lining
1st Line of Defense: Traps bacteria/ pathogens
Mast Cells
2nd Line of Defense: assists with allergic and inflammatory responses (releases histamine which causes blood cells to dilate and become more pours so cells can enter)
Basophil
2nd Line of Defense: similar to mast cells (does the same thing)
Macrophages
2nd Line of Defense: Non-specific/specific and consumes pathogens
Complement System
2nd Line of Defense: targets Non-specific and signals macrophages and guides them to the pathogens
Cytotoxic T-Cells (Killer Cells)
3rd Line of Defense: destroys infected cells, part or cell medicated response, and releases perforin into infected cells so they blow up.
T-Helper Cells
3rd Line of Defense: releases a signal after responding to macrophages and asks for T-Cells. Also asks for antigens
B-Cells
3rd Line of Defense: White blood Cells that have the ability to make antibodies reproduce
Memory B- Cells
3rd Line of Defense: Have the memory of antigens they come into contact with, and wakes up B- Cells
Memory T- Cells
3rd Line of Defense: Have the memory of antigens they come into contact with, and wakes up Cytotoxic T- Cells
Prions
Any of various infectious proteins that are abnormal forms of normal cellular proteins
