Immunity

Question 1

neutrophils

Answer 1

Most common type
First responders to inflammation
Attracted to cytokines, attract more WBCs
Attack bacteria
Main component of pus
Phagocytic
Granulocyte

Question 2

Eosinophils

Answer 2

Granulocyte

allgeric/asthmatic, parasites inside body

Question 3

Basophils

Answer 3

Granulocyte
+ mast cells
allergic, responsible for release of histamine
Ectoparasites

Question 4

Macrophages

Answer 4

Monocyte
Phagocytize dead cells and pathogens
Present antigens
Release cytokines

Question 5

Dendritic Cells

Answer 5

Present antigens
Link between innate and adaptive
Stim. immune response
Found in places that are in contact with environments

Question 6

T lymphocytes

Answer 6

Only respond to one antigen
Most undergo apoptosis to prevent the attack of self tissues
Recognize major histocompatibility protein complexes
Begin development in bone marrow but mature in THYMUS
low in AIDS

Question 7

Cytotoxic T cells

Answer 7

CD8+ cells
recognize MHC I
viruses/tumors
destroy cells

Question 8

T Helper cells

Answer 8

CD4+ cells
recognize MHC II
release cytokines to stim. immune response

Question 9

Natural Killer T cells (NKT)

Answer 9

Respond to other complexes other than MHC I and II

destroy cells and stim immune response

Question 10

Memory T cells

Answer 10

Remain after infection so can respond quicker next time

Question 11

Regulatory/suppressor T cells

Answer 11

Tone down T cell response to self cells/post infection
