Immune And Lymphatic Flashcards
Initiate secondary immune responses
Memory B & T lymphocytes
Mark foreign antigens for destruction
Antibodies
Plasma B cells
Produce antibodies
T regulatory cells
Suppress and control the immune responses
Memory B cells
Maintain antibody stock and initiate secondary numeral immune response
T cytotoxic cells
Attack and destroy infected/cancerous cells
Memory T cells
Initiate secondary cell mediated immune response
T helper cells
Activate B & T cells and enhance innate immunity
Antigen presenting cells
Macrophages, B cells
Storage of RBC breakdown products
Spleen
Site of lymphocyte proliferation
Spleen
Filters blood
Spleen
Filtration of the lymph
Lymph nodes
Activation of lymphocytes
Lymph nodes
Provides generalised responses to any foreign antigen
Innate immunity
Eukaryotes
Include complex, multicellular organisms.
Pain, heat, redness, swelling
Signs of inflammation
Innate non specific immunity
Phagocytes, NKC’s
Attacks parasitic worms and is involved in allergic reactions
Eosinophils
Bacteria
Are prokaryotes
Attack and destroy infected body cells
T-Lymphocytes
Phagocytosis of bacteria
Neutrophils
Allergic reactions and parasitic worms
Eosinophils
Vasodilation and attract other WBC’s to infection site
Basophils
Phagocytosis of foreign microbes and cellular debris
Monocytes and macrophages
Produce antibodies
B-Lymphocytes
Interferon
Stimulates production of antiviral proteins in the body cells
