Q

what do granules contain

A

molecules that lower the ph of the phagolysosome making it very acidic whcih kills some pathogens

Q

oxidative burst

A

when the neutrophil keeps swalloing pathogens it produces highly reactive oxygen species

16
Q

what are importannt in initiating allergic repsonses

A

basophils due to having histamine

17
Q

mast cells

A

live in tissues no blood
non phagocytic

18
Q

what releases cytokines

A

monocytes, macrophages and dendritic cells

19
Q

cytokines

A

molecules which attract other immune cells to area

20
Q

where do monocytes circulate

A

blood

21
Q

what happens to monocytes when they migrate into tissues

A

turn into macrophages

22
Q

where are macropjages found

A

tissues

23
Q

immature dendritic cells

A

good at phagocytosing

24
Q

mature dendritic cell

A

when it phagocytosis’

25
Q

action of dendritic cells

A

breaks up pathogen contents into short amino acids then moves to nearets lymph mnode and present antigen to t cells

26
Q

what connects innate with adaptive

A

dendritic cells presnting to t cells

27
Q

priming

A

when t cell wtih specific receptor to antigen of denrittic cell binds

28
Q

how do denritic cells present to t cells

A

on a mhc molecule

29
Q

where do b and natural killer cells mature

A

bone marrow

30
Q

where do some lymphoid progenitor cells migrate

A

to thymus where they develop into t cells

31
Q

NK cells

A

large lymphocytes with granules

32
Q

how do nk cells kill their target cells

A

by releasing cytotocic granules

33
Q

can b cells present antigens to t cells

A

yes on mhc 2

34
Q

how are b cells matured into plasma cells

A

by t cells post b cells have presented antigens to them

35
Q

CD4T cells

A

helper t cells
antigen presented on mhc 2 molecule

36
Q

cd8+

A

cytoxic t cells
presented by Mhc 1

37
Q

what can nk cells target

A

viruses and cancer cells
