inflammation Flashcards
1
Q
what happens if normal immune barriers are breached?
A
cells of the immune system use Pattern Recognition Receptors (PRRs)
2
Q
what are the benefits/outcomes of using PRRs?
A
- pathogen destruction
- phagocyte activation
- inflammation
3
Q
what do PRRs do?
A
- recognise pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs)
- recognise damage associated molecular patterns (DAMPs)
4
Q
PRR engagement outcomes?
A
- immobilize pathogens and phagocytosis
- activate host cell
- remove damaged tissue promote wound healing
