Q

Monocyte-macrophage system

phagocytes

A

macrophages function as APC’s

21
Q

Dendritic cells

phagocytes

A

found in tissue that has contact with outside environment

22
Q

Eosinophils

phagocytes

A

less abundant
destroy antibody coated pathogens/foregin compounds

23
Q
  1. Chemotaxis

5 steps of phagocytosis

A

movement of phagocyte due to attraction of chemicals

24
Q
  1. Adherance

5 steps of phagocytosis

A

attachment of phagocyte to target

25
Q
  1. Ingestion

5 steps of phagocytosis

A

“false feet” are formed and engulf target cell

26
Q
  1. Digestion

5 steps of phagocytosis

A

Lysozomes, proteosomes bind with phagosome

27
Q
  1. Killing

5 steps of phagocytosis

A

death of target cell and release of debris

28
Q

What is immune surveillance?

A

constant monitoring of tissues by NK cells

29
Q

What are tumour specific antigens

immune surveillance

A

often in cancer cells that NK cells recognize/destroy

30
Q

Presense of unusual plasma membrane activate NK cell leading to

Steps of NK recognition and destruction

A

NK cell adhering to target

31
Q

Golgi apparatus moves within NK cell to target cell

Steps of NK recognition and destruction

A

Produces vesicles containing perforins

32
Q

What happens to perforins released from NK cell

Steps of NK recognition and destruction

A

They arrive at target cell

33
Q

What do perforins do at once they rech target cell?

Steps of NK recognition and destruction

A

Create pores in target cell membranes

34
Q

What are interferons

second line of defence

A

Small proteins released by activated lymphocytes

35
Q

What do interferons do?

second line of defense

A

trigger production of antiviral proteins (cytokines)

36
Q

What is complement system?

second line of defense

A

system that complements action of antibodies

37
Q

What is the classical pathway?

Complement system

A

most rapid/effective

attach to antibody molecules
MAC complex

38
Q

what is the lectin pathway?

complement system

A

activated by mannose-binding lectin protein

activate inflammatory response

enhances opsonization

39
Q

What is alternative pathway

complement system

A

Several complement proteins interact in plasma

attachment of activated protein

40
Q

What are the effects of complement system

A
  1. pore formation/cell lysis
  2. enhanced phagocytosis
  3. histamine release
41
Q

What are iron binding proteins

A

Inhibit growth of bacteria by reducing availble iron

42
Q

What are antimicrobial proteins

A

short peptides that have broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity

43
Q

Which substances contribute to vasodilation and increased permeability

A

Histamine

Kinins

44
Q

What are 3 stages of inflammatory response

A
  1. Vasodilation/increased permeability
  2. emigration of phagocytes from blood to IF
  3. Tissue repair
45
Q

What does emigration of phagocytes depend on?

A

Chemotaxis

46
Q

What substance helps with tissue repair

A

Fibroblasts

47
Q

What is a pyrogen?

A

fever-inducing protein

48
Q

what are benefits of fevers

A
  1. inhibit bacteria/virus
  2. accelerate tissue defense and repair process
