intro Flashcards
what response is responsible for fever
innate
response for memory
adaptive
Haematopoiesis
formation of white and red blood cells
granulocytes
basophils
neutrophils
eosinophils
what does bone marrow produce during immune response
neutrophils which [hagocytose by using granules or oxidative burst
what do granules fuse with
phagosome to form phagolysosome
what do granules contain
molecules that lower the ph of the phagolysosome making it very acidic whcih kills some pathogens
oxidative burst
when the neutrophil keeps swalloing pathogens it produces highly reactive oxygen species
action of reactive oxygen species
destroy proteins and nucleic acids within phagolysosome; pathogen eliminated
what do eosinophils stain
pink with eosin
what type of cells are eosinophils
phagocytic
eosinophils best known for
fighting helminths and in allergic reactions
what do basophils stain
blue with hematoxylin
are basophils phagocytic
no
what do basophils contain
histmaine
