Q

Explain physical barriers (innate)

A
  • first line of defense
  • skin and mucous serves as barriers against PATHOGENS AND TOXINS

urine, saliva, tears washes away toxins and pathogens to prevent infection

Q

4 examples of chemical mediators

LMHI and function

A

Lysozyme- found in tears/saliva. kills bacteria
mucous membrane- barrier against microbes
histamine- induce inflammation causing vasodilation
interferons- produce antiviral proteins. protection against infection

Q

6 under cells of the immune system (innate)

NEBMMNk

A

NEUTROPHILS- phagocytize microorganism. fist to respond but die quickly

EOSINOPHILS- destroy parasites, reduce inflammation

BASOPHILS- produce histamine

MACROPHAGES- enter tissues & protect lymph in lymph nodes and blood in spleen/liver

MAST CELLS- release leukotrienes that promote inflammation

NATURAL KILLER CELLS- detect classes of cells such as tumor cells that cannot eb detected by other immune cells
-chemicals which lyse cells/ destroy membrane

16
Q

2 types of adaptive immunity

A

antibody-mediated

cell-mediated

17
Q

why is adaptive immunity slower effect than innate

A

it takes time for the body to recognize virus and produce antibodies against the antigen

*antigen is a foreign substance that enters our body. stimulates production of antibodies. antibodies attach to antigen to fight it**

18
Q

Analogy

B cells: mature in red bone marrow - T cells:_________

A

B cells: mature in bone marrow - T cells: Thymus gland

19
Q

Analogy

T cells: Mature in Thymus gland - B cells: _____

A

T cells: Mature in Thymus gland - B cells: Red bone marrow

B=Bone marrow

20
Q

This type of immunity is defense that involves specific recognition to a specific antigen

A

Adaptive immunity

21
Q

This type of immunity is present at birth

A

innate immunity

22
Q

Function of b cells

A

b cells produce antibodies

23
Q

Function of t cells

A

help protect the body from infection and may help fight cancer

24
Q

Effects of antibodies I B A I F (5)

A

inactivate antigens
binds antigen
active complement cascades
initiate release of inflammatory chemicals
facilitate phagocytosis (elimination of particles)

25
Q

Meaning of cell-mediated immunity

A

there is no need to produce antibodies to have immunity

26
Q

4 types of t-cells under cell-mediated immunity and their function

A
  1. Helper T Cells (TH)- activate macrophages
  2. Cytotoxic T cells- precursor to CTL
  3. Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) - destroy antigen on contact
  4. Regulatory t cells- turn off immune system response when antigen is gone
27
Q

2 types of adaptive immunity

A

naturally acquired immunity & artificially acquired immunity

28
Q

What is naturally acquired active immunity

A

Exposure to antigens produces antibodies
ex. chicken pox
measles

29
Q

What is naturally acquired passive immunity

A

Transfer of antibodies

ex. breastmilk from mom to baby
- through placenta

30
Q

What is artificially-acquired active immunity

A

Vaccines triggers antibodies production

ex. covid vaccine, anti tetanus

31
Q

What is artificially-acquired passive immunity

A

transfer of antibodies of one to another ex. plasma from a recovered patient

ex. plasma transfer

32
Q

Function of IgG

A

activates compliment and increases phagocytosis

“phaGocytosis”

33
Q

Function of Igm

A

as antigen binding receptor on the surface of b cells

for transfusion reactions in blood system

“MTRbc… - M= Transfusion Reactions”

34
Q

Function of IgA

A

protects body surface/ to newborn

“A=Asa labas = Surface = Body surface”

35
Q

Function of IgE

A

stimulates inflammatory response

“E= Enflammatory”

36
Q

Function of IgD

A

As antigen-binding receptor on b cells

D= DING ang bato so
antigen-binDING receptor

37
Q

This is a protein secreted by a cell that regulates OTHER CELL

A

cytokines
