Q

Site of action of Cholera

A

Small intestine

Produce toxin called Choleragen,which disrupts functions of epithelium lining of small intestine and more salt and water is lost

Q

How immune cells IN BODY FLUIDS AND TISSUES respond to pathogen?

A

specially interact with and kill pathogens

18
Q

First line of defense prevent_____

A

entrance of pathogen into the body

19
Q

What is molecular recognition of immune system?

A

The binging of specific receptors to a foreign molecules

20
Q

Innate immunity is common in ______ and adaptive immunity is found only in_____

A

all animals

vertebrates

21
Q

Innate immunity

A

-all animals
-recognition of traits shared by broad range of pathogens
-few receptors
-Rapid response

22
Q

Adaptive immunity

A

-only vertebrates
-recognition of traits of specific pathogens
-many receptors
-slower response

23
Q

innate or adaptive?

A

innate

24
Q

Innate immunity is also know as ______

A

barriers defense
(entrance and exists of body and linings of GI tract,airway and other exchange surfaces)

25
Q

Barrier defense and internal defense of innate immunity

A

Barrier defense
1)Skin
2)Mucous membrane
3)Secretions

Internal defenses
1)Phagocytic cells
2)Natural killer cells
3)Antimicrobial proteins
4)Inflammatory response

26
Q

Adaptive immunity is also known as _____

A

acquired immune system b/c is activated after innate response and develops more slowly

27
Q

Type of responses in adaptive immunity

A

Humoral response:ANTIBODIES defend against infection in BODY FLUIDS

Cell-mediated response:CYTOTOXIC CELLS defend against infection in BODY CELLS
