Q

WHT IS THE MUCOUS MEMBRANES PROTECTION FOR THE DIGESTIVE, RESPIRATORY, URINARY, AND REPRODUCTIVE TRACT TO AID DEFENSE?

IN RESPIRATORY SYSTEM THE MUCOUS IS REMOVED BY THE CILIA TO THE PHARYNX TO BE SWALLOWED AND DESTROYED BY STOMACH ACIDS
PATHOGENS FLUSHED FROM UPPER DIGESTIVE TRACT BY SALIVA AND FRROM LOWER URINARY TRACT BY URINE
MUCUS TEARS AND SALIVA CONTAIN LYSOZOME WHICH DESTROYS BACTERIA BY DISOLVING THE CELLS WALL

Q

WHAT ARE THE TWO FAMILIES OF BLOOD BOURNE ANTIMICROBIAL PROTEINS?

A

INTERFERON AND COMPLEMENT SYSTEMS

24
Q

WHAT ARE INTERFERONS?

A

SECRETIONS OF VIRUS INFECTED CELLS MADE TO PROTECT IT

25
Q

WHAT DO INTERFERONS DO?

A

ACTIVATES INNATE IMMUNE RESPONSE THE PROMOTES CYTOKINE PRODUCTION AND NATURAL KILLER CELLS AND ANTIGEN PRESENTATION
BREAK DOWN VIRAL GENES
PREVENT VIRAL REPLICATION
ACTIVATE NATURAL KILLER CELLS AND MACROPHAGES TO DESTROY CELLS BEFORE THEY RELEASE VIRONS

26
Q

WHAT ARE COMPLEMENT SYSTEMS?

A

CONSISTS OF MANY SMALL PLASMA PROTEINS FOUND IN BLOOD MADE BY THE LIVER, THEY CIRCULATE AS INACTIVE PRECURSORS

27
Q

WHAT DO COMPLEMENT SYSTEMS DO?

A

CONTRIBUTES TO INNATE AND ADAPTIVE IMMUNITY
THE PLASMA PROTEINS REACT WITH EACH OTHER TO OPSONIZE PATHOGENS AND INDUCE A SERIES OF INFLAMMATORY RESPONSES THET HELP TO FIGHT INFECTION

28
Q

WHAT ARE THE TWO TYPES OF COMPLEMENT PROTEINS?

A

ACTIVATED COMPLEMENT

INNACTIVE COMPLEMENT

29

PROTEINS CIRCULATED IN THE BLOOD AND ARE ACTIVATED BY PATHOGENS

30
Q

WHAT ARE THE PATHWAYS FOR INACTIVE COMPLEMENT PROTEINS?

A

CLASSICAL PATHWAY - REQUIRES ANTIBODIES (ADAPTIVE IMMUNITY)
ALTERNATE PATHWAY - VIRUSES, BACTERIA, YEASTS, TUMOUR CELLS
LECTIN PATHWAY - CARBOHYDRATES ON A MICROBIAL CELL SURFACE

31
Q

WHAT ARE THE 4 METHODS FOR ACTIVATED COMPLEMENT PROTEINS TO DESTROY PATHOGENS?

A

ENHANCING INFLAMATION
MEDIATES IMMUNE CLEARANCE (CLEARS AWAY ANTIGEN - ANTIBODY COMPLEX)

A

HYPOTHALAMUS

51
Q

WHAT IS INFLAMATION?

A

A LOCAL DEFENSIVE RESPONSE TO ANY KIND OF TISSUE INJURY INCLUDING TRAUMA AND INFECTION

52
Q

WHAT IS INFLAMATIONS PURPOSE?

A

TO LIMIT THE SPREAD OF PATHOGENS

A

INFLAMATION

55
Q

WHAT HAPPENS DURING INFLAMATION

A

GETS WHITE BLOOD CELLS TO INFLAMED AREA
CONTAINS PATHIGENS IN LOCALISED AREA

56
Q

WHAT ARE VASOACTIVE CHEMICALS

A

an endogenous agent or pharmaceutical drug that has the effect of either increasing or decreasing blood pressure and/or heart rate through its vasoactivity

AN ENDOENOUS AGENT OR PHARMACUTICAL DRUG WHICH HAS THE ABILITY TO
