Immune System Flashcards
Function of immune system
Protect the body from external organisms
Components of immune system
Monocytes
Macrophages
Lymphocytes
Granulocytic cells
Mention the primary lymphoid organs
Thymus and bone marrow
Mention the secondary lymphoid organs
Lymph nodes
Spleen
Gut associated lymphoid tissue
Thymus derive from the
3º and 4º faringeal aproach
In lymph nodes T lymphocytes are create in
medular and paracortical area
Function of the spleen
Filter and process antigens from the blood
Remove damaged cells
Antibodies are also known as
immunoglobulin (Ig)
Mention all the Ig
IgG IgE IgD IgM IgA
The main function of the antibodies is
bind with high affinity to an invasive organism
Specific part of the virus that will be recognized by antibodies
epitope
Types of immunity
Innate and adaptative
Immunity that doesn’t need a previous presentation to the antigen
innate immunity
Types of response of adaptive immunity
humoral and cellular
Humoral response is mediated by
B cells
Cellular response is mediated by
T cells (T naive cells)
We need ___ to our IS recognize the pathogens and attack against them and our body doesn’t attack by itself
MHC
MHC I activate
CD8
MHC II activate
CD4
Effector T cells have 2 different pathways
Be eliminated
Convert in memory T cells
Before to create an effector T cells, the T cells were
naive
Type I of hypersensitivity is mediated by
IgE
Type of hypersensitivity that is the classical example of the allergies
Type I
Some examples of type I hypersensitivity
asthma
rhinitis
In type I hypersensitivity when the IgE recognize the allergen the _____ of the allergen begin
degranulation
Type II of hypersensitivity is related with
IgG
IgM
Type of hypersensitivity that activate the complement cascade and result in the destruction of the antigen
Type II
An example of type II hypersensitivity
Graves Disease
