19
Q

These are the granular wbc with enzymes that target parasitic worms

A

Eosinophils

20
Q

These are the granular wbc that contains histamines that cause inflammation during immune response and allergic reactions

A

Basophils

21
Q

These are granular wbcs that also contain histamines and other substances that anchor themselves in response to Injury or allergic reaction, together with basophils

A

Mast cells

22
Q

These are responsible for specific immunities

A

Lymphocytes

23
Q

What are those antimicrobial proteins

A

Antigen
Cytokines
Interferon

24
Q

It is an immune response against any foreign body, such as toxins or the body part of pathogen

A

Antigen

25
Q

A signalling protein which can attract more macrophages, neutrophils and dendritic cells

A

Cytokines

26
Q

This is also the second line of defense which it response to inflammation

A

Inflammatory response

27
Q

Histamines and prostaglandins??

A

These are the chemical alarm signals which will raise the temperature of the tissue and increase blood flow to the area

28
Q

Interleukin-1

A

A regulatory protein that can cause neurons in the hypothalamus to raise the overall the body’s normal temperature

29
Q

What temperature indicates that you have a form of a fever?

A

Above 37 celsius

30
Q

These are highly potent proteins specific to neutralize the antigens by making them more susceptible to phagocytosis

A

Antibodies

31
Q

A pathogen of antibodies prevent a toxic protein from binding the target

A

Neutralization

32
Q

A pathogen tagged by antibodies is consumed by a macrophage or neutrophil

A

Opsonization

33
Q

Antibodies attached to the surface of a pathogen cell activate the complement system

A

Complement activation

34
Q

Five general types of antibodies

A

IgA (immunoglobulin alpha)
IgD(immunoglobulin delta)
IgE(immunoglobulin epsilon)
IgG(immunoglobulin Gamma)
IgM (immunoglobulin Mu)

35
Q

What type of antibodies where it’s mainly functions as an antigen receptors on body cells that have not been exposed to antigens

A

IgD

36
Q

It binds to allergens and triggers histamines release from the mast cells and basophils and is involved in allergy

A

IgE

37
Q

It provides majority of antibody-based immunity against invading pathogens. Capable of crossing the placenta to give passive immunity to fetus

A

IgG

38
Q

Eliminates pathogens in the early stages of Body cells humoral immunity before the secretion of sufficient Immunoglobulin

A

IgM

39
Q

It is found on the mucosal area and prevents colonization of pathogens

A

IgA

40

Lacrimal(tears)
Secretions:
Lysozymes,IgA,IgG

41
Q

Ears sources and secretions?

A

Sources: Sebaceous glands

42
Q

Mouth Sources and Secretions

A

Sources: Salivary Glands
Secretions: Digestive enzymes, IgA,IgG, Lactoferin

43
Q

Skin Sources and Secretions?

A

Sources: Sweat glands(sweat) Sebaceous Glands (sebum)

44
Q

Stomach Sources and Secretions?

A

Sources: Gastric Juices
Secretions: Digestive enzymes (pepsin, renin), Hydrochloric acid

45
Q

a cellular defense that binds to non-infected neighboring cells to rpoduce antiviral proteins which can intefere with viral replications

A

Inteferon

46

IgM
Expressed on surface of body cells

A

Monomer

47
Q

IgM
Secreted form?

A

Pentamer
