Q

Immune system

A

A built in defense system against anything that may invade the body or cause damage

21
Q

Non-specific immunity

A

General mechanisms that defend the body against foreign invaders

22
Q

Mucociliary escalator

A

Cilia that transports mucus and foreign material out of the respiratory tract

23
Q

Competitive inhibition

A

Normal bacteria occupy the space that pathogenic bacteria would use

24
Q

Pus

A

Dead white cells that ingest foreign materials dissolved into a liquid

25
Q

Specific immunity

A

Unique reactions to destroy specific invaders

26
Q

B lymphocytes

A

Originate and mature in the bone marrow
Involved in humoral immunity
Produces antibodies

27
Q

T lymphocytes

A

Originates in bone marrow, travels via blood stream to mature in thymus
Responsible for cell mediated immunity
Clone themselves to fight against antigen after being presented by macrophage

28
Q

Lymphoid tissues

A

Tissues that contain mature and circulating lymphocytes, including tonsils, lymph nodes, spleen, appendix, peyer’s patches

29
Q

Antigen

A

A specific molecule or foreign invader that initiates an immune response

30
Q

Cell mediated immunity

A

T cells circulate through blood and lymph to locate affected cells

31
Q

Humoral immunity

A

B cells reside in lymphoid tissues and produce antibodies that circulate through blood and lymph

32
Q

Plasma cells

A

An activated B cell that produces antibodies

33
Q

Antibodies

A

=immunoglobulins

Proteins that bind to the antigens on microorganisms, toxins and other foreign chemicals

34
Q

Neuralization

A

Attachment of antibodies directly to a microorganism or toxin so that they can not infect or damage other cells

35
Q

Agglutination

A

Clumping together of cells or particles

36
Q

Mucosal immunity

A

IgA defends against infectious agents at mucous membranes before the agents enter the body

37
Q

Passive immunity

A

Immunity produced by the introduction of preformed antibody into the body

38
Q

Colostrum

A

Antibodies produced by the mother and passed to the newborn in the milk

39
Q

Transplacental antibodies

A

Antibodies produced by the mother and passed directly across the placenta into fetal blood

40
Q

Hyperimmune plasma

A

Plasma from a donor that has been treated to produce a very high level of a specific antibody against a specific pathogen or toxin

41
Q

Active immunity

A

Immunity produced by the introduction of an antigen into the body and the resulting physiologic response

42
Q

Vaccination

A

Intentional introduction of specific antigens into the body in order to creeate immunologic memory to the antigen

43
Q

Virulent

A

Disease causing

44
Q

Attenuated

A

Weakend

45
Q

Failure to passive transfer

A

Immunodeficiency that results when a foal or calf does not receive adequate colostrum

46
Q

Antihistamine

A

Drugs that prevent the release of histamine from mast cell

47
Q

Contact dermatitis

A

Rash caused by skin contact with foreign substances

48
Q

Activation immunotherapy

A

Prevention or treatment of disease by inducing or enhancing an immune response

49
Q

Suppression immunotherapy

A

Treatment of disease by suppressing an immune response
