Immunology Flashcards
Immune system is only active in desaeases
False
Main steps in defense
Recognise ( self or not self)
Restore homeostasis
Remember
Sites of collection of immune cells
Lymph nodes and spleen
Synthesis of immune and non immune cells is the function of
Bone marrow
Small intestine has a lymphatic tissue called
Peyres patches
Immune cells exist in 3 places
Organs
Tissues
Circulating in blood
Specialised immune cells exist in
Bone marrow then circulate to blood or lymp nodes
Immune cells are normal presented or circulated in 2 things
Blood or lymph as defined collections in lymphoid organs or as scattered cells in all tissues
What are cells of immune system
Phagocytes
Antigen presenting cells
Lymphocytes
Mast . Eosinophils . Basophils
The most abundant leukocyte in blood
Neutrophils
Cells present in blood …. Tissue
Mono
Lympho
Baso
Eosino
Neutro(go to tissue just if it is damaged )
Their response is localised to tissues
In tissue we have mast cells
Describe neutrophil nucleus
What stimulates the production of neutrophils
G-CSF(
What does the granules in neutrophils has
Specific
Azurophilic
What are the microbicidial substances in NET
Metalloproteases and ROS
What are 3 functions of nutrophiles
What is neutropenia and what cause it and what is its effects
( cancer treatment or auto immune disease )
Causes recurrent infection
What stimulates monocyte to be macrophage
Cytokines
How macrophage repair damaged tissue (2)
1 angiogenesis
2 fibrosis ( ECm rich in collagen)
Macrophage like cells in drosophila are called
Hematocytes
Cell present in skin and mucosal epithelium
Mast
Cell that has granules full of histamine and found close to small blood vessels and nerves
Mast
What does APC do (3 steps)
Major type of app
Dendritic
