IMMUNE SYSTEM Flashcards
What is the process by which white blood cell squeeze through capillary walls to reach infected tissues called?
Diapedesis
Which of the formed elements arise from myeloid Lloyd stem cells
Platelets
The connective tissue supporting the structure of lymphoid organs is…
Reticular connective tissue
Lymphoid organs are highly vascularized true or false
True
What is the order of the differentiation of cells involved in the development of neutrophil?
Hematopoietic stem cell, myeloid stem cell, myeloblast , neutrophil
Description of a neutrophil
Abundant granular, especially effective against bacteria
Closest predecessor of the B cell, T cell, natural killer cells
Lymphoid stem cell
What is the closest predecessor of microphage neutrophil basophil monocyte and eosinophil ?
Myeloid stem cell
Lymph is usually a clear color is fluid similar to blood plasma but…
Has lower protein content than blood plasma
What is a specificity of lymphatic capillaries?
They are closed at one end
The only lymphatic organ with both afferent and efferent lymphatic vessels is…
The lymph node
Functions of lymphatic system
Monitors blood fluids for foreign matter
Maintain fluid balance
Distribute immune cell
Recover tissue fluid
Excess interstitial fluid (the fluid between cells and tissues ) is returned to the …
Intravascular fluid through the lymphatic system
What is swelling associated with an increase in interstitial fluid in a tissue or body cavity
Edema
Edema can be caused by high capillary, hydrostatic pressure by low oncotic pressure…
By proteins lead from vascular space and will all lead to excessive interstitial fluid
What is the two systems that the immue system has?
Innate and adaptive
Innate nonspecific defense system
First line of defense is external body membranes like skin
Second line of defense is antimicrobial protein defensins, phagocytes, enzymes like lysozyime of saliva,
Function of second line of defense in innate defense system
Prevent infection
Inhibit spread of invaders
Inflammation
Adaptive specific defense system
Third line of defense attack, specifically particular foreign substance
Takes longer to react than innate system, but it is specific and highly effective
Types of Phagocytoc cells
Neutrophil and macrophages
Neutrophil
Most abundant and become phagocytic on exposure to infection
Macrophages and where they develop from
Develop from monocytes and are fixed macrophages that are permanent resident of some organs like skin cells, (langerhans)
Natural killer cell and where they are derived from
They are derived from lymphocytes
Attack cell, that lack self cell surface receptors and induce apoptosis in cancer cells
Enhance inflammatory response
Anti-bacterial proteins
Interferons complement, proteins, defensins and attack, microorganisms directly and hinder them to reproduce
Fever
Increasing body temperature
and increasing metabolism by proliferation and mobility of white blood cells by phagocytosis
Local sites and macro Fajah exposed to foreign substance and secrete pyrogens
Pyrogens
A fire
Inflammatory response is triggered by…
Injured body tissues
Extreme heat
Infection
Inflammatory response goals
Prevent spread of damaging agents
Dispose of cell debris
Alert, adaptive immune system
Signs of inflammatory response
Redness
Heat
Swelling
Pain
