Human Defense Mechanism Flashcards
Natural or native immunity
Innate Immunity
Acquired/specific immunity
Adaptive Immunity
Enzyme found in sweat, saliva and tears
Lysozyme
Peptides found in epithelial cells
Cathelicidins and Defencins
Glycoproteins in the lungs
Collectins
First line of defense
Skin
Type of immunity that includes physical, mechanical, and biochemical barriers and inflammation
Innate Immunity
Type of immunity that is relatively slower and targets specific invading MOs
Adaptive Immunity
Colonies of MOs found in each surface of the mucous membrane that do not normally cause disease
Normal Microbiome
Activates the release of chemical signals at the injury site causing nearby capillaries to widen and become more dilated.
Macrophages and mast cells
Release of histamine causes
increased capillary permeability and vasodilation
Dolor
Pain
