Immune System Flashcards
How many lines of Defense are there in the body?
3 lines
1st = Non-specific
2nd = Non-specific
3rd = Specific
2 Examples of first line of defense
Skin & Mucus
Cell of 2nd line of defense
Macrophages
Define Macrophages
Part of second & third line of defense, cell mediated defence and digests pathogens
Cells in the 3rd line of defense (Cell Meditated)
Cytotoxic T Cell
Macrophage
T-Helper Cell
Function of Cytotoxic T-Cell
Send signals to kill pathogens
macrophage & t helper cell role in 3rd line defence
macrophage is a cell that the helper t cell binds to signal the cytotoxic t cell
Define Anti-Bodies
antibodies are protein based and they latch onto antigens on pathogens and kill them
Protein based and latch onto antigens on pathogens and elimante them
Memory Cell
Memorize how to elimante pathogens & invaders
Function of B Cells
B cells make the antibodies
Types of Pathogens
Fungi, Protist, Bacteria, Viruses, Worms, etc
Function of macrophages and t helper cells in the cell humoural response
Activate b-cells via helper t cell binding to the macrophages to send signals to activate b-cell
what is involved in the inflammatory response ( non-specific )
Macrophages & Mast Cells
