Immunity and healing

Question 1

Lymphocyte

Answer 1

white blood cells considered primary immune cells.
2 types
B cells are produced in red bone marrow
T cells produced in red bone marrow and migrate to thymus for maturation

Question 2

MALTs

Answer 2

Mucosa associated lymphoid tissue found in respiratory, digestive, and reproductive tracts (peyers patches in small intestive is example)

Question 3

Spleen

Answer 3

Stores lymphocytes and filters blood, stores platelets, blood reservoir,

Question 4

Nonspecific Immune defenses

Answer 4

aka innate defenses or physical and chemical barriers designed to keep foreign substances out of body

Question 5

Internal antimicrobial proteins

Answer 5

Interferons - induce production of proteins that shut down virus ability to replicate

Complement proteins - enhance the immune system by supporting nonspecific immune responses

Transferrins - Proteins that bind to iron to interfere with bacteria

Antimicrobial peptides -short chain amino acids disrupt the plasma membrane of pathogens

Question 6

Phagocytes/tosis

Answer 6

cells thatdestroy microbes by ingesting them via phagocytosis

Monocytes turn into macrophages or big eaters - key role in immune response

Question 7

chemotaxis

Answer 7

chemcials released by cells at site of infection to attract phagocytes

Question 8

Natural killer cells

Answer 8

attach themselves to surface of infected cells and destroys plasma membrane via cytolysis.

Question 9

Specific immune response

Answer 9

acquired over time through exposure to specific pathogens

Question 10

Antigen

Answer 10

protein on a cell membrane with specific chemical marker

Question 11

antibody mediated immunity

Answer 11

when b cells recognize an antigen and causes cells to divide and multiply into two types of daughter cells memory and plasma cells. plasma produces immunoglobin that travel to infection sites. Memory cells remember initial exposure and stand by to respond to additional exposure

Question 12

Cell mediated immune response

Answer 12

cells divide and multiply into
cytoxic cells
memory
helper
Suppressor

Question 13

Naturally acquire immunity

Answer 13

active or passive exposure to pathogen like chicken pox
