Q
  1. NATURAL KILLER CELLS
    1. immune surveillance is the constant
A

monitoring of normal tissues by natural killer cells

33
Q
  1. NATURAL KILLER CELLS
    1. natural killer cells are lymphocytes which destroy
A

abnormal cells in peripheral tissues

34
Q
  1. NATURAL KILLER CELLS
    the detect the antigens on the
A

plasma membrane and respond immediately

35
Q
  1. NATURAL KILLER CELLS
    recognize and adhere to the
A

target cell

36
Q
  1. NATURAL KILLER CELLS
    golgi apparatus produces
37
Q
  1. NATURAL KILLER CELLS
    perforins forms
A

pores on the plasma membrane and destroys the abnormal cells

38
Q
  1. NATURAL KILLER CELLS
    1. attack what kind of cells
A

cancer cells and cells infected with viruses

39
Q
  1. NATURAL KILLER CELLS
    can recognize the tumor-specific antigens on the
A

cancer cells and destroy the cells

40
Q
  1. NATURAL KILLER CELLS
    some cancer cells avoid
41
Q
  1. NATURAL KILLER CELLS
    immunological escape is the process of
A

avoiding detection

42
Q
  1. NATURAL KILLER CELLS
    once immunological escape happens, cancer cells
A

multiply and spread without interference of NK cells

43
Q
  1. NATURAL KILLER CELLS
    1. recognize the viral antigens on the plasma membrane,
A

destroy them and prevent the spread of viral infection

44
Q
  1. INTERFERONS
    are small proteins made and released by
A

lymphocytes, macrophages, and cells in response to the presence of pathogens

45
Q
  1. INTERFERONS
    bind to surface receptors on the membrane of a cell and triggers the production of
A

anti viral proteins, which prevents viral replication inside the cell

46
Q
  1. INTERFERONS
    also stimulate the activites of
A

macrophages and NK cells

47
Q
  1. INTERFERONS
    3 types
A

interferon alpha
interpheron beta
interferon gamma

48
Q
  1. INTERFERONS
    most cells produce interferon beta in response to
A

viral infection, except lymphocytes and macrophages

49
Q
  1. INTERFERONS
    each type has
A

anti-viral effects but, they all act differently on the immune system

50
Q

cytokines are chemical messengers released by cells to

A

coordinate local activities

51
Q

defense cells secrete cytokines which act as

A

hormones affecting cells throughout the body

52
Q
  1. COMPLEMENT SYSTEM
    a system of about
A

30 proteins
produced by the liver that can be activated in various ways to destroy bacteria

53
Q
  1. COMPLEMENT SYSTEM
    they enhance
A

phagocytosis and action of antibodies to destroy pathogens

54
Q
  1. COMPLEMENT SYSTEM
    they interact with each other in
A

chain reactions or cascades

55
Q
  1. COMPLEMENT SYSTEM
    they are 2 chemical pathways to activate the complement system
A

classical pathway
alternative pathway

56
Q
  1. COMPLEMENT SYSTEM
    classical pathway is very
A

rapid and effective

57
Q
  1. COMPLEMENT SYSTEM: CLASSICAL PATHWAY
    complement protein C1 binds to
A

2 antibodies bound to antigen

58
Q
  1. COMPLEMENT SYSTEM:
    if antibodies are absent then only
A

alternative pathway activates the complement system

59
Q
  1. COMPLEMENT SYSTEM: CLASSICAL PATHWAY
    complement protein C1 bind to 2 antibodies on the
A

bacterial cell wall

60
Q
  1. COMPLEMENT SYSTEM: CLASSICAL PATHWAY
    C1 protein acts as an enzyme catalyzing many reactions involving other complement proteins
61
Q
  1. COMPLEMENT SYSTEM: CLASSICAL PATHWAY
    finally the inactive C3 will be converted to an
A

activated C3b that attaches to the bacterial cell wall

62
Q
  1. COMPLEMENT SYSTEM: ALTERNATIVE PATHWAY
    is formed only in the absence of
A

antibody molecules

63
Q
  1. COMPLEMENT SYSTEM: ALTERNATIVE PATHWAY
    compared to the classical pathway
A

slower and less effective

64
Q
  1. COMPLEMENT SYSTEM: ALTERNATIVE PATHWAY
    important in the defense against
A

bacteria, some parasites and virus-infected cells

65
Q
  1. COMPLEMENT SYSTEM: ALTERNATIVE PATHWAY
    on exposure to bacterial cell wall what interacts in the plasma
A

complement proteins
properdin (factor P)
factor B
factor D

66
Q
  1. COMPLEMENT SYSTEM: ALTERNATIVE PATHWAY
    as a result activated C3b is
A

attached to the bacterial cell wall

67
Q
  1. COMPLEMENT SYSTEM:
    the final stage are the same for both
A

classical
alternative

68
Q
  1. COMPLEMENT SYSTEM: FUNCTION OF C3b
    complement activation brings about
A

pore formation
enhanced phagocytosis
histamine release

69
Q
  1. COMPLEMENT SYSTEM: FUNCTION OF C3b
    C3b once attached to the bacterial cell wall, additional complement protein join to form a
A

membrane attack complex (MAC)
in the membrane and cell lyses forming multiple pores in bacterium

70
Q
  1. COMPLEMENT SYSTEM: FUNCTION OF C3b
    C3b enhances
A

phagocytosis

71
Q
  1. COMPLEMENT SYSTEM: FUNCTION OF C3b
    opsonization
A

coating of complement protein and antibodies and they engulf the bacteria

enhancement of phagocytosis

72
Q
  1. MAST CELLS
    release histamine which
A

increase local
inflammation and blood flow to the region

73
Q
  1. MAST CELLS
    are filled with basophil granules found in
A

connective
tissue and releasing histamine and other substances during
inflammatory and allergic reactions.

74
Q
  1. INFLAMMATION
    a tissue response to
75
Q
  1. INFLAMMATION produces
A

redness (rubor)
swelling (tumor)
heat (calor)
pain (dolar)

76
Q
  1. FEVER stimulates the release of
A

endogenous pyrogen, which is an inflammatory cytokine
