Lecture 7 - Immune System Flashcards
Non-Specific (Innate Immunity)
Pre existing defenses
Physical barriers, chemical defense
Neutrophils eosinophils basophils monocytes macrophages
Adaptive immunity ( Specific Immunity)
For when innate immunity fails
B and T cells
More powerful
Autoimmune Disease
Is a hyperactive immune response. Can cause an attack on a specific cell organ or be systematic and attack multiple bodies
Pemphigus Vulgaris
Separates basal epithelium from epithelium in oral stratified squamus non-keratinized
Affects holding together of junctions
Sjorgren Syndrome
Targets and destroys glands
Like salivary glands and tears
We see fibrotic tissues fill spots
Xerostomia cause
T-Lymphocyte
born in marrow and gains immunocompetance in thymus
must gain receptors to recognize self
B-lymphocyte
born in the marrow and gain immunocompetance in the blone marrow
They come upon antigen and mounts response
Plasma Cells
B lymphocytes sees a antigen becomes a plasma cell and releases antibodies in a tone to recognize and coat
MEmory Cells
A plasma cell differentiates in to the this so that you can have a quick secondary response
It will float around forever to be ready for another attack and produce the same antibodies
Nature Killer Cells
Recognize transformed cells like tumors that are proliferating. Then causes apoptosis
Macrophage
Derived from Monocytes
when monocyte goes in to connective tissue
engulf bad things and present their antigen to lymphocytes
Antigen Presenting Cell (APC)
macrophage is one. (Dust Cells in lungs, and Kupffer in LiveR)
Neutrophils
First line of defense
phagocytose antigens and destroy and digest
Eosinophils
Found in CT
Blood as root seen in digestion and respiratory
large eosinophilic residues
recognize paraiste and engulf to destroy and digest
mediate inflame
Mast Cells
like basophils but different stem cells located in connective tissue stains realy dark purple cant see nucleus granules release histamine and heperin histamine dilates permeability and heparin stops clotting
Basophils
very rare
located in the blood cell
also release histamine and heprin
Dendritic Cell
antigen presentinc cell with long projections in an area of t cells
Langerhans Cells
Specific dendritic cell in epithelium
Walk along the skin to phagocytose and migrate to lymph to present to T lymphocyte
Lymph Organs are split into Two groups
Primary and Secondary
Primary Lymph Organs
independent of Proliferation
B or T dont need exposure to proliferate
Bone MArrow and Thymus
Secondary Lymph Organs
Lymphoscytes need exposure to proliferate
Lymph nodes, spleen, lymph nodules
MALT - mucosa associated lymph tissues
Thymus
t lymphocyte maturation.
Slowly replaced by fat cells
Involution - the process of becoming fat
Liver takes over when fatty
Involution
Process of fat taking over the lymphatic
happens in the thymus
Parenchymal Cells
Functional Cells of an organ
all organs have parenchymal cells
Stroma Cells
all organs have stroma cells they are the support cells of the organ
What is the parenchymal Cell of the thymus
Thymocytes AKA T - CELLS
