Immune system Flashcards
most abundancy in order
-neutrophils
-lymphocytes
-monocytes
-eosinophils
-basophils
signs of acute inflammation
-rubor
-calor
-dolor
-swelling
-loss of function
innate immunity primarily accomplished by __
neutrophils and macrophages
phagocytes recognize its “meal” by
- toll- like receptors
- rough surface
- has antibody attached
secreted interferons cause uninfected cells to produce enzymes that __
inhibit viral replication
complement system leads to
- enhances inflammation
- opsonization of pathogens
- forms membrane- attack complex (MAC) that lyses pathogens
antigen presenting cells (APCs) present antigens to MHC class __ molecules
II
APCS bind to and activate __ cells
T helper (CD4)
T helper (CD4) cells activate the two branches of Acquired Immunity
- humoral
- cell- mediated
T helper cell actions
-recruit cytotoxic and suppressor T cells
-recruit B cells
-more T helper cells
-activate macrophage system
activated B cells develop into __
plasma cells
MHC class II found on __ involved in presenting __
antigen presenting cells, T helper
MHC class I display __ of self and foreign antigens when infected
unique characteristics
T helper cells activate the macrophage system and helps to __
- move macrophages away
- more efficient phagocytosis
all cells have MHC __
I
after binding antigens, cytotoxic T cells
a. secrete perforin to punch holes in membrane
2. release granzymes to stimulate apoptosis
suppressor T cells can suppress __
both cytotoxic and helper T cells
B cells and the antibodies create __ immunity
humoral
Many T cells may function as suppressors by secreting __
inhibitory cytokines
__ region (variable portion) with antigen specificity
Fab
__ region (constant portion) determines diffusivity
Fc
phagocytes have __ receptors, so antibody binding to antigen enhances phagocytosis (opsonization)
Fc
heavy chain also determines __ classification
Ig
IgG __ activation
compliment
IgG most Ig in __
blood
IgG __ bacteria
opsonizes
