L2 Flashcards
A microbe’s penetration of first line encourage production of
1-phagocytes
2-inflammation
3-fever
4-antimicrobial substances
The most infections lead to
Leukocytes but in some infection lead to leukopenia
The most of second line defence is
The lymphatic system
Spleen
1-Phagocytise pathogens and old RBCs : bilirubin is formed and sent to the liver for excretion in bile
2- store platelets and destroys damage platelets
Lymph nodules (small unencapsulated)
1- respiratory,digestive,urinary,reproductive tract, tonsils , payer’s patches
Lymph nods (encapsulated)
Produce antibodies to foreign antigens
Function Thymus
Produces thymi hormones that make (T cell ) immunologically competent
Lymph similar to plasma but
1-more WBCs
2-less protein
Lymph is kept moving by
1- contraction lymphatic vessels
2- skeletal muscle pump
3- respiratory pump
Phagocytise are …………..
1-macrophages
2-neutrophils
The mechanism of phagocytosis is
1-adhere by ….. opsonise
2-engulfment
3- be in vesicle called (phagosome)
4- phagosome adhesion with lysosome to make (phagolysosome)
