Show how sn aid a fight

A

Neutrophils

32
Q

Made up of cell debris and neutrophils that have litterbugs eaten themselves to death

A

Plus

33
Q

Pathogens can’t handle wide swings In temp and Turk tip tempt o kill them enough

A

Fever

34
Q

Cel easily survive this range

A

Fever

35
Q

Part of innate defenses

A

Nk

36

Macrophages, dendritic cell, B cells take chunks of the pathogen and attach it to there cell membrane

A

Major histocompatibility complex-2

37
Q

Also called paPc

A

B cells

38
Q

Protein takes up exogenous antigens

A

Major histocompatibilty complex

39
Q

Proteins that are captured floating around and presents them on surfaces

A

Exogenous antigens

40
Q

Destroy pathogens as well as inflammation and fever

A

Neutrophils and macrophages

41
Q

Immune can fight pathogens they have seen before

A

Adaptive response

42
Q

Portions of a pathogen that were destroyed after phagocytosis are attached to the Mhc-2 on surface of -

A

Professional antigen presenting cells

43
Q

B cells produce

A

Unique antibodies

44
Q

Naive B cells produce a few antibodies and attach them to their cell surface

A

Membrane bound antibodies

45
Q

Rights know you ha e the means to protect your body against a new artificial Virus

A

From the antibodies your body already has

46
Q

B cells in lymph nodes bump

Into pathogen they have a. Small chance there _ can bind with pathogens surface antigens

A

B cell receptor

47
Q

Once a B cell is activated

A

No longer naive

48
Q

It phagocytosis the pathogen and

A

Attaches the antigen to its own mhc-2

49
Q

Long term immunological memory of previyos pathogens

A

Memory B cell

50
Q

Antibody factories for this current round of infection

A

Plasma cell

51
Q

Antibodies produced by plasma cells travel through ecf and blood looking for

A

More of that pathogen antigen to bind

52
Q

In thymus T cells differentiate into 2 types

A

Helper T cells

Cytotoxic T cells(killer)

53
Q

T cells are lymphocytes and have a protein on their surface called

A

T cell receptor

54
Q

Huge amount of variety in there shape and can only bind to a small percentage of antigens

A

TCR

55
Q

When a Particular TCR is able to bind to an paPc, Mhc-2

A

Helper T cell is activated

56
Q

Go out and turn into an infection

A

Effector helper T cell

57
Q

Stored and enable a fast response during next infection

A

Memory helper T cells

58
Q

Bind to an antigen is activated

Ensures resources are directed to the most efficient cells

A

Only TCR

59
Q

Perform two major actions

A

Helper effector T cells

60
Q

Constantly being created on every cell of the body

A

Proteins

61

Creates more virus protein Peices

A

Viral infections

62
Q

Broken genes create odd new proteins

A

63
Q

Constantly presenting any protein in any cell

A

Mhc-1

64
Q

The immune system checks these proteins aa weld or not slef

When a protein is aberrant the immune system targets for destruction

A

Mhc-1

65
Q

Produce normal proteins and frequently scooped up by Mhc-1

A

Should not be destroyed

66
Q

Non self Protoens

A

Mhc-1 alerts that something is wrong

67
Q

Cyctoxic T cells and nk cells don’t bind with mhc-2

A

Attach to Mhc-1

68
