immunology Flashcards
innate involves
phagocytes
neutrophils
macrophages
adaptive involves
lymphocytes
macrophage engulfs bacterium into a
phagosome
the phagosome then fuses with another vesicle called the
lysosome
lysosomes are full of chemicals and enzymes that will
kill the bacterium
monocytes and macrophages are made in
bone marrow (stem cells)
macrophages are found in
tissues
macrophages give off chemicals that
restrict blood flow away from the site of injury
macrophages produce
cytokines
neutrophils are also involved in
phagocytosis
eosinophil
parasitic infections
allergy and asthma
anaphylactic shock is caused by
mast cell degranulation
mast cells protect against
parasites
mast cells contain
histamine
basophil
store histamine
