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

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?

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
Barrier defense and internal defense of innate immunity
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
Adaptive immunity is also known as _____
acquired immune system b/c is activated after innate response and develops more slowly
27
Type of responses in adaptive immunity
Humoral response:ANTIBODIES defend against infection in BODY FLUIDS Cell-mediated response:CYTOTOXIC CELLS defend against infection in BODY CELLS
