Q

spleen

A

R.B.Cs die here

20
Q

innate defense

A

simple defense that protects against many pathogens

21
Q

adaptive defense

A

specific targets specific pathogens

22
Q

chemical barrier

A

enzymes gastric acid due to low PH

23
Q

interferons

A

Lymphocytes and fibroblasts produce this in response to virus or tumor cells
block replication

24
Q

pus

A

WBC bacteria and damaged tissue

25
immunity
third line of defense
26
antigens
proteins located on cell surface
27
antigen-presenting
Tcell activation requires presence of processed fragments of antigen attatched to the surface of another type of cell,
28
imunoglobins
globular plasma protein that functions as an antibody
29
IgC
in plasma and tissue fluids and is particularly effective against bacteria, viruses, and toxins. It also activates as a compliment.
30
IgA
found in exocrine gland secretions. found in breast milk, tears, and urine.
31
IgE
associated with allergic reactions
32
Anaphylictic shock
allergic reaction bust out in red hives injection of epinephrin
33
autoimmunity
body attacks itself because of unfamiliar antigens
34
streptococcus bacteria
triggers inflamation of heart valves
35
largest lymph vessel
thoracic duct
36
lymph rejoins blood and becomes art of the plasma in the
right and left subclavian veins
37
tissue fluid originates from
blood plasma
38
movement of lymph is because of
muscle contraction
39
chemotaxis
attraction of macrophages in area
40
B and T cells
2nd immune response
41
Red blood cells
do not present their antigen
42
Haptens
partial antigens, combines with something fo reaction
43
thymus
degenerates through life
44
T cells
recognize antigens not cells
45
lymph flow
to the heart
