Q

palatine

A

roof of the mouth
palate

11
Q

other name for adenoids

A

pharyngeal

11
Q

adenoid

A

back of the throat
fight germs

12
Q

spleen

A

largest lymphoid organ
large blood reservoir
destroys worn out RBC’s
reservoir for monocytes
b-cells mature here

12
Q

lingual

A

small bumps in the back of the tongue
fight germs

12
Q

specific immunity

A

attacks specific intruder
targets individual threats
slower response

13
Q

characteristics of inflammation

A

heat
redness
swelling
pain
perhaps loss of function

13
Q

Natural Immunuty

A

natural protection (no meds, no vaccines)

14
Q

Natural immunity (active)

A

when you get the sickness, you won’t get it again
chicken pox, measles

14
Q

Artificial Immunity

A

Artificial Protection (meds, vaccines)

14
Q

Complement proteins

A

helps antibodies against germs
attracts
poke holes
helps immune system

15
Q

Natural Immunity (Passive)

A

temporary protection
baby getting antibodies from mother’s milk

15
Q

Artificial Immunity (Active)

A

vaccine; helps so when you get the sickness again, the body knows how to fight it (covid, flu)

16
Q

phagocytes

A

engulfs bacteria
ag presenting cells

16
Q

Artificial Immunity (Passive)

A

pre-made defense(medicine); immediate but temporary protection
(like getting anti-venom for snake bite)

16
Q

Antibodies

A

protein molecules which combine with specific antigens
produce humoral immunity/antibody-mediated immunity

17
Q

b-cell/lymphocytes (where do they mature)

A

develops and mature in the spleen
mature b-cells go in the lymphoid organs
produce AB
antibody-mediated

17
Q

types of lymphocytes

A

b lymphocytes
t lymphocytes
target specific bacteria

18
Q

t-cell/lymphocytes

A

develops and matures in the thymus
mature t-cells go in the lymphoid organs
attack
cell-mediated
