Q

What are basophils involved in? What do they do?

A

Involved in hypersensitivity reactions; release histamine, leukotrines, cytokines, and prostaglandins==> can lead to bad allergic reactions. Also stimulate smooth muscle contraction

Q

What do T-lymphocytes do?

A

Cell-mediated immunity (no antibodies)

26
Q

Is inflammation innate or acquired? What are the 5 things involved?

A

Innate AND acquired - 1. Localized vasodilation; 2. Increased blood flow; 3. Increased capillary permeability; 4. Extravasation of plasma proteins; chemotactic movement of leukocytes to injury

27
Q

What are the 3 clinical manifestations of inflammation?

A

Erythema, localized edema, pain

28
Q

What 2 immune cells are involved in allergic reactions?

A

Antibodies attaché to MAST cells and Basophils

29
Q

Who many histamine receptors are there?

A

3

30
Q

What blocks H1 receptors?

A

Benadryl

31
Q

What blocks H2 receptors?

A

Pepcid and ranitidine

32
Q

What do H1 receptors cause

A

Smooth muscle contraction (except vasculature); vasodilation; increased vascular permeability

33
Q

What do H2 receptors cause?

A

Stimulate gastric secretion and cardiac stimulation

34
Q

What are the 4 hypersensitivity groups?

A

Type 1 (anaphylaxis); Type 2 (cytotoxic/hemolytic anemia); Type 3 (immune complex disease/autoimmune); Type 4 (cell mediated/delayed sensitivity)

35
Q

What type of sensitivity reaction is latex?

A

Type 1 and 4

36
Q

What is required for an anaphylactic reaction (2)?

A

IgE mediated; requires prior exposure

37
Q

What is required for an anaphylactoid reaction? What is the difference?

A

Non-IgE mediated; may occur with first exposure; need greater exposure than with anaphylaxis; otherwise same as anaphylaxis
