Q

Inflammatory Response

A
  • Blood vessels in the area around the damaged tissue dilate, causing an increase in blood supply to the area. (Vasodilation)
  • The blood carries phagocytes to the area. Phagocytes also come from interstitial fluids surrounding the damaged tissue.
  • Phagocytes release cytokines into the damaged tissues, which attracts more phagocytes to the area.

27
Q

Allergens

A

A type of antigen that produces an abnormally vigorous immune response to a perceived threat that would otherwise be harmless to the body.

28
Q

Role of Lymphatic System

A

The functions of this system include the absorption of excess interstitial fluid and its return to the blood stream,
absorption of fat from the small intestines
and the prevention of disease (main transport system for APCs and the main location of clonal selection.)

29
Q

Role of Lymph Nodes

A

Substances that could be harmful to the body, such as bacteria or cancer cells, are trapped and removed by the lymph nodes.

30
Q

Adaptive Immune Response to Intracellular Threat (Cell Mediated)

A

Antigen Presenting Cells concurrenlty initiate selection of T Helper and Naive T Cells
Naive T Cells stimulated by cytokines (from Th) and undergo clonal expansion and differentiation
Clones differentiate into either Cytotoxic T Cells or Memory T Cells
Upon contact with infected cell, T Cell binds to antigen MHC I complex
This induces secretion of cytotoxic chemicals to induce Apoptosis

31
Q

Prolipherate

A

Makes a large amount

32
Q

Adaptive Immune Response

A

Specific immunity
3rd Line of defence
Specific to particular infections
Long Term ‘Memory’

33
Q

Herd Immunity

A

Resistance to the spread of an infectious disease within a population that is based on pre-existing immunity of a high proportion of individuals

34
Q

ICONA

A

Imoblization
Complement Activation
Opsonization (MAC)
Neutralization
Agglutination

35
Q

MHC I markers

A

MHC I markers are found on almost all body cells.
There role is to present a fragment of an antigen to alert the immune system if it becomes infected

36
Q

Agglutination

A

Antibodies can bind together with antigens on 2 seperate pathogens
Makes it easier for Phagocytes to recognise pathogens and destroy them

37
Q

Imobilization

A

Antibodies can restrict movement of Pathogens around the body through formation of large antigen antibody complexes

38
Q

Artificial Immunity

A

Artificial is acquired from medical technology to purposely give immunity

39
Q

Adaptive Immune Response to Extracellular Threat (Humoral)

A

1) Antigen Recognition
2) Antigen Presentation
3) Clonal Selection
4) Differentiation
5) Attack

40
Q

MHC II markers

A

Role is to activate other parts of the immune system if an infection is detected anywhere on the body
Found only on:
- dendritic cells
- macrophages
- B cells

41
Q

Natural Immunity

A

Results from unintentional exposure to antigen by interaction with other biological entities

42
Q

Active Immunity

A

When a persons own immune system produces their antibodies

43
Q

Passive Immunity

A

When someone has antibodies produced by someone else’s immune system

44
Q

Role of B Lymphocytes

A

Lymphocytes that mature in Bone Marrow
Produce self antibodies
Once mature, move to circulatory and lymphatic systems
Part of Humoral Response
Fight infection outside of the cell

45
Q

Role of Helper T Cells

A

They help activate B cells
Helper T cells recognise an antigen only when it is presented to them on MHC II markers
They can also help activate cytotoxic T cells to kill infected target cells.

46
Q

Role of Cytotoxic T Cells

A

Acytotoxic T cellis aTlymphocyte that kills cancercells,cellsthat are infected (particularly with viruses), orcellsthat are damaged in other ways
Cytotoxic T cells only recognise antigens presented on MHC I markers

47
Q

Role of T Lymphocyte

A

Lymphocytes that mature in Thymus gland
T-Lymphocytes circulate in the blood and are also found in the Spleen and Lymph Nodes
Fight infection within the cell as part of the Cell Mediated Response

48
Q

Imobilization

A

Antibodies can restrict movement of Pathogens around the body through formation of large antigen antibody complexes

49
Q

Complement Activation

A

Antibodies bind to cancer cell and interact with complement proteins
Compliment proteins can then go on to destroy cancerous cell either through MAC, or enhancing the function of other immune cells

50
Q

Opsonization

A

Antibodies stick on the outside surface of pathogens and make it easier for cells of the immune system, such as phagocytes, to recognise them as foreign

51
Q

Neutralization

A

Antibodies binding to pathogen to inhibit toxic effects

52
Q

Agglutination

A

Antibodies can bind together with antigens on 2 seperate pathogens
Makes it easier for Phagocytes to recognise pathogens and destroy them

53
Q

Lymphocytes

A

white blood cells that arise from Mitosis in stem cells in bone marrow

  • Complement Proteins
  • Cytokines
  • Inflammation
  • Fever
56
Q

Membrane Attack Complex

A

a pore formed by complement proteins in the cell membrane of a pathogen, disrupting the membrane and leading to the pathogen’s destruction

57
Q

B memory cells

A

provide the immune system with long-lasting memory.

58
Q

A

Cell Mediated Immunity
T Cells

59
Q

A

Antigen Binds to B cells with complementary receptor

60
Q

Humoral Step 2. Antigen Presentation

A

B Cell internalizes and displays processed epitope

61
Q

Humoral Step 3. Clonal Selection

A

Interleukin stimulates B Cell to rapidly divide, forming a clone

62
Q

Humoral Step 4. Differentiation

A

Some cells of the clone become Memory B cells
Most become Plasma cells

63
Q

Humoral Step 5. Attack

A

Plasma cells synthesize and secrete antibody
