41
Q

it is the ability to resisit damage from pathogens such as microorganisms

42
Q

immunity is categorized into 2 systems, what are those 2 systems?

A
  1. innate immunity (nonspecific immunity)
  2. adaptive immunity (specific immunity)
43
Q

what is the type of immunity in which the body recognizes and destroys certain pathogens but the response to them is THE SAME each time the body is exposed

A

Innate immunity

44
Q

what is the type of immunity in which the body recognizes and destroys pathogens but the response to them IMPROVES each time the pathogen is encountered

A

adaptive immunity

45
Q

what are the two subdivisions of the adaptive immunity?

A
  1. antibody-mediated immunity
  2. cell-mediated immunity
46
Q

it is a type of adaptive immunity where it involves b-cells

A

antibody-mediated immunity

47
Q

it is a type of adaptive immunity where it involes t-cells

A

cell-mediated immunity

48
Q

it is a characteristic of adaptive immunity in which the body has the ability to recognize a particular substance

A

specificity

49
Q

it is a characteristic of adaptive immunity in which the body has the ability to remember previous encounters with a particular substance

50
Q

what are the mechanisms involed in innate immunity?

A
  1. physical barriers
  2. chemical mediators
  3. white blood cells
  4. inflammatory response
51
Q

____ prevent pathogens and chemical from entering the body

A

physical barriers

52
Q

two ways of physical barrier:

A
  1. skin and mucous membranes
  2. tears, saliva, urine, and other secretions
53
Q

they are responsible for many aspects of innate immunity

A

chemical mediators

54
Q

naa sa atong tears and saliva, they kill certain bacteria

55
Q

other chemical mediators such as histamine, complements, leukotrienes, and prostaglandins promote inflammation by causing ____ and increasing vascular permeability

A

vasodilation

56
Q

it is a group of more than 20 proteins found in blood plasma. has ability to lyse (rupture) bacterial cells

A

complements

57
Q

proteins that protect the body against viral infections. does not protect cell but instead bind to surface of neighboring cells and stimulate them to produce antiviral proteins.

A

interferons

58
Q

most important cellular components in immunity

A

white blood cells

59
Q

the movement of white blood cells toward these chemicals is called?

A

chemotaxis

60
Q

it is the ingestion and destruction of particles by cells called phagocytes

A

phagocytosis

61
Q

small phagocytic wbc’s, usually first to enter infected tissues from the blood in large numbers. increase inflammatory response by recruiting and activating other immune cells

62
Q

accumulation of fluid, dead neutrophils, and other cells at site of infection

63
Q

these are monocytes that leave the blood, enter tissues, and enlarge about five-fold.

macrophages

64
Q

monocytes and macrohpages form the ____ because they are phagocytes with a single unlobed nucleus

mast cells

69
Q

they participate in inflammation associated with allergies and asthma

eosinophils

70

local inflammation

72
Q

it is an inflammatory response that is generally distributed throughout the body

A

systemic inflamamtion

73
Q

are substances that stimulate adaptive immune responses

74
Q

what are the two groups of antigens

A
  1. foreign antigens
  2. self-antigens
75
Q

type of antigen introduced from outside thebody

A

foreign antigens

76
Q

are molecules produced by the body cells to identify them as “self” or part of the body

A

self-antigens

77
Q

this occurs when self-antigens stimulate unwanted destruction of normal tissue

A

autoimmune diseases

78
Q

these are small groups of identical b cells or t cells

79
Q

what is this thing in the cell membrane of lymphocytes?

A

antibody receptors (t-cell receptors, b-cell receptors)

80
Q

these are glycoproteins that have a binding site for antigens

A

major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules

81
Q

these are proteins produced in response to an antigen, y-shaped consisting of four polypeptide chains

A

antibodies

82
Q

antibodies are also called what?

A

Immunoglobulins

83
Q

this type of immunoglobulin, activates complement and increases phagocytosis. can cross placenta and provide immune protection to the fetus (hemolytic disease of new born)

84
Q

activates complement and act as an antigen-binding receptor on the surface of b cells

85
Q

type of immunoglobulin secreted in saliva, tears, and mucous membrane to protect body surfaces\

86
Q

binds to mast cells and basophils and stimulates the inflammatory response

87
Q

acts as antigen binding receptor on B cells

88
Q

four ways to acquire adaptive immunity

A
  1. active natural
  2. active artificial
  3. passive natural
  4. passive artificial
89
Q

results when an individual is exposed to an antigen and the response of the individual’s own immune system is the cause of immunity

A

Active immunity
