Inflammation Flashcards
What is not a role of the immune system
- maintain electrolyte balance
- disease protection
- detection of pathogens and immunogens
- differentiate self vs not
not electrolytes
pathogen
virus or bacteria
immunogen
pathogen, tumor, allergen
Innate immunity:
acquired/natural
non-adaptive/specific
fast acting/slow
long-lived/robust
natural, nonadaptive, fast acting and robust
physical innate immune system
skin and mucosal linings
which is not a part of the chemical innate immune system
- pH
- compliment system
- mucosal linings
- acute phase proteins
not mucosal linings
SIDE NOTE: complement system (proteins that help antibodies and phagocytes), acute phase proteins (humoral, mediate inflammation)
what cell mediates innate inflammation
Leukocytes (WBC)
What cells contribute to inflammation
mast cells, phagocytes –> macrophages, NKs, dendritic cells
adaptive immunity:
acquired/natural
specific/non-adaptive
fast acting/slow
robust/long lived
acquired, specific, slow and long-lived
Which one is not a part of humoral adaptive immunity
- antibodies
- memory
- B-cells
- skin
Skin is innate, not humoral
Cell-mediated adaptive immunity consists of what cells?
T-cells (toxic), B-cells (create antibodies)
What is required for cell-mediated adaptive immunity
lymphocytes or cells
which immune system is specific to the antigen
adaptive
which immune system creates cytokines
both innate and adaptive
which immune system has cell-mediated inflammation
innate
which immune system uses skin, pH and NKs
innate
which immune system uses B-cells and T-cells
adaptive
what do viruses need to replicate
a living cell
what do vaccines do
prepare immune system, preventing severity
what do boosters do
remind B-cells of anitobodies
adverse event
a medical occurrence in a clinical trial, not necessarily causal
immunocompromised
immune system takes longer to fight off pathogens and immunogens
cytokines
polypeptides involved in communication, regulate cellular function
what is not one of the 3 major classes of cytokines
- immunogens
- interleukins
- interferons
- TNF
- immunogens
