Lab practical Flashcards
IgA
dimeric antibody
1 disulfide bonds
Fc 2 segments
IgG
monomeric antibody
2 disulfide bond
Fc 2 segments
IgE
monomeric antibody
1 disulfide bond
Fc 3 segments
IgD
monomeric antibody
1 disulfide bonds
Fc 2 segments
IgM
pentameric antibody
5 disulfide bonds along the base where they all connect
Fc 3 segments
Fab
top half of the antibody (fragment antigen binding)
Fc
bottom half of the antibody (Fragment crystallizable)
hinge
the bend between the top and bottom half
heavy chain
part of the fab that is connected to the Fc region
light chain
bonded to the heavy chain through disulfide bonds
neutrophil
granulocyte
phagocytosis bacteria
releases toxins to kill and inhibit bacteria
basophil
granulocyte
mature into mast cells
hypersensitivity reactions
defense against parasites, release histamine
eosinophil
granulocyte
release toxins to kill bacterial and parasites
monocytes
agranulocyte
become macrophages and dendritic cells
lymphocyte
agranulocyte
becomes B and T cells
follicle of lymph node
lymphocyte proliferation
efferent lymphatic vesicle
allow lymph to flow out
afferent lymphatic vesicle
allow lymph to enter lymph node
lymphatic artery
delivers blood to the lymph node
lymphatic vein
delivers blood away from the lymph node
germinal center of lymph node
activate, proliferate, differentiate B cells
medullary cord of lymph node
filled with T lymphocytes and plasma cells
trabeculae of lymph node
bundles of connective tissue
capsule of lymph node
dense irregular connective tissue
subcapsular sinus of lymph node
macrophages that first capture and retain pathogens in lymphatics
trabecular sinus of lymph node
connect subcapsular sinus to medullary sinus
