19
Q

react the same for every threat (slow down)

A

non specific/innate defense

20
Q

specific threat w specific weapons

21
Q

External defenses

A

physical: skin and mucus

22
Q

internal defenses

A
  1. Phagocytes: Macrophages, eosinophils, neutrophils.
  2. Immunological surveillance: Natural killer (NK) cells
  3. Antimicrobial proteins: Interferons and Complement
  4. Inflammatory response: redness, heat, swelling, and pain
  5. Fever: pyrogens, antigen-antibody complex, Interleukin-1
23
Q

monocytes. cruise and look or fixed and wait

A

macrophage

24
Q

destroy parasitic worms

A

eosinophill

25
destroy bacteria w enzymes like bleach (respiratory burst)
neutrophils
26
Chemicals released from cells upon viral infection, affect protein synth of adjacent
interferons
27
plasma proteins produced by liver. cause inflammation, opsonixation (tasty) MAC
complement
28
Lymphocytes
B and T cells. Lots of variants
29
Antigen presenting cells
Macrophages, dendritic cells, activated B-cells ingest foreign matter, digest it, then put small fragment of digested foreign matter on their cells surface.
30
Humoral immunity
is mediated by B-cell secreting antibodies.
31
Cell-mediated immunity
is mediated by T-cell directly attacking and killing rogue cells.
32
differences in adaptive defense from innate
specific and versatile systemic not local memory
33
self antigens
MHC 1 and MHC 2
34
active humoral immunity
B-cells make antibodies in our bodies. exposed or vaccine
35
Passive humoral immunity:
Antibodies from another source are injected to rapidly neutralize a threat. (plasma)
36
antibodies
Y shape, bind antigens
