Lec 7 Flashcards
SLIDE 1
Describe the concept of immunological memory
A secondary immune response is faster and larger than the primary immune response to the same antigen
What are the 4 types of humoral immunity? Give examples
- Active naturally acquired, exposure to antigens
- active passively acquired, vaccine
- passive naturally acquired, antigens from mother
- Passive passively acquired, injection of antigens
What kind of immunity establishes immunological memory?
Active humoral immunity
What is the role of antibodies?
They tag cells so killing cells come and get them
What cells play a role in cell mediated immune response?
T-cells
What are the three types of T cells and their functions?
CD8 cells (cytotoxic T cells): attack and kill other cells
CD4 cells (helper T cells): stimulate proliferation and activity of plasma cells
Regulatory T cells are a subset of CD4 cells and wind down the immune response
SIDE 8
SLIDE 9
What is the major role of monocytes?
It engulfs foreign particles and presents fragments of antigens to be recognized by T cells
What do monocytes secrete?
proteins that activate T cells
What does the effectiveness of the immune system depend on?
- The ability to recognize foreign antigens
- The ability to communicate with one another so the whole organism mounts a response
Slide 11
SLides 12-14
What are the 2 major operations of the respiratory system?
- Pulmonary Ventilation
- External Respiration
What composes the respiratory zone? (site of gas exchange)
bronchioles, alveoli, alveolar ducts
What composes the conducting zone?
nose, nasal cavity, larynx, pharynx, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, terminal brochioles
What is the purpose of the conducting zone?
They provide a passageway for air, but they also cleanse, humidify, and warm air
What are the 5 functions of the nose?
- Airway for respiration
- Moistens and warms air
- Filters and cleans air
- resonating chamber for speech
- Olfactory receptors
What determines the structure of the external nose?
Cartilege
What glands are contained on the lateral and dorsal aspects of the nose?
Sebaceous glands
What are nostrils called?
External nares
What is the name of the piece of cartilage dividing the left and right sides of the nostril?
The nasal septum
Where does air go straight after the internal nares?
The nasopharynx
What is the name for nose hairs?
Vibrissae
What are the two types of nasal mucosa?
Olfactory and respiratory
