Cell mediated: T cell
Initiated by antigens = specific/distinct proteins contain on a foreign compound

56
Q

Humoral mediated: B cell

A

circulating Abs
attack an invader
B cell clones form plasma cells
produce abs, secreted from lymph into blood

constant portion

60
Q

Mechanism of Ab Action

A

Direct to attack on invader, binding, neutralization, lysis

Activation of complement system

61
Q

Mechanism of Ab Action: Activation of complement system

A

Antibody bind to antigen, stimulates a reaction in compliment system, series of reactions that will cause infected/host cell to die

62
Q

How is B differ from T?

A

T only respond to antigens only when bound to MHC proteins on antigen-presenting cells (APC) in lymphoid tissue
specifically target an invader so we don’t attack ourselves

63
Q

T-Cell mediated

A

APCs: macrophages, B-cells, dendritic cells
MHC proteins: bind fragments of antigen
I: antigens to cytotoxis T cells “killer”
II: antigens to helper T cells

64
Q

Types of T-cells: Helper T cells (CD4)

A

Releases:
Lymphokines - promotes to activate, mini defender against antigen
Interleukins (IL): clinical measure of inflammation

Supressor T cells: suppress excessive cytotoxic T cell function

65
Q

Types of T-cells: Cytotoxic T cells

A

Direct-attack cells
Killer cells
Perforins

(main mechanism, kills directly)

66
Q

Immunizations

A

prevent from infection
helps patients form antibodies
expose to a strain to build abs

67
Q

Hemostasis, prevention of blood loss

A

1) Severed vessel
2) Platelets agglutinate
3) Fibrin appears
4) Fibrin clot forms
5) Clot retraction occurs

68
Q

Mechanism of Blood Coagulation

A

Prothrombin activator formation
Conversion of prothrombin into thrombin
Conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin

69
Q

3 pathways for coagulation

A

intrinsic, skin abrasion (surface)
extrinsic, kidney damage (tissue)
common underlying between the two

source depends on location*
fibrinogen to fibrin for clot to occur
