Lecture 19 Flashcards
Are defense mechanisms simple of complex
Complex
Freedom of disease
Immunity
The study of the body’s defense against invading pathogens: ability to search, recognize, and destroy
Immunology
Characteristics of innate immunity
Present from birth
“Nonspecific” limited range and specificity
Many forms
Rapid response, work very quickly
Characteristics of acquired immunity
Requires exposure
Highly adaptive, diverse, and specific
Slow at first, then fast (memory)
Major forms of acquired immunity
Antibodies and killer T cells
Three aspects to the first line of immune defenses
Physical
Chemical
Genetic
What does physical first line of defense include
- skin and mucous membranes lining internal tracts=physical barrier
- mechanical processes= shedding, mucocilliary escalator, coughing sneezing, tears& sweat, defecation. Intimation, vomiting
Chemical first line defenses
- lysozyme in tears, saliva, and other secretions break down peptidoglycan
- sebum produced by sebaceous glands=waterproofing protective oils and waxes of skin,hair, ears
- mucus secretions of mucous membranes
- low pH skin, stomach, vagina
Inherited variations that enhance resistance to infection
Genetic first line defenses
What line of defense is mucus
1st line of defense
What line of defense is inflammation
2nd line of defense
What line of defense are antibodies
3rd line of defense
What type of barrier is each of the following
Lysozyme Skin Normal microbiota Mucocilliary escalator CCR5 mutation
Lysozyme- chemical barrier Skin- physical barrier Normal microbiota- biological barrier Mucocilliary escalator-mechanical barrier CCR5 mutation - genetic barrier
How does bone marrow contribute to innate immunity
Blood stem cells
How does the liver contribute to innate immunity
Produces complement
How does the spleen contribute to innate immunity
Recycles red cells
How do lymph nodes contribute to innate immunity
Filters lymph
How do skeletal muscles contribute to innate immunity
Propels lymph
Iron binding protein that inhibits microbial growth
Transferrin
Causes the redness and warmth. Associated with inflammation
Vasodilation
Enzyme present within lysosomes
Lysozyme
A cell that engulf and destroys microbes
Phagocyte
Pathogen associated molecular pattern abbreviation
PAMP
Anti microbial serum proteins
Complement
An anti-viral protein
Interferon
