40
a diverse group of proteins secreted by cells of both innate and adaptive immunty
cytokines
41
how are the lymphatic and immune systems connected?
lymphoid organs & tissues: * provide a residence for cells of the immune system * traps pathogens for the immune system * activate cells of the immune system
42
the process by which cells ingest particles and other cells
phagocytosis
43
a granulocyte that ingest damages cells and bacteria
neutrophil
44
a granulocyte that is active in defense against parasites and also involved in allergies
eosinophil
45
a granulocyte that mediate inflammation
basophil
46
a group of 20 or more plasma proteins that are produced by the liver
complement system
47
what are the two pathways that activate complement proteins?
* classical pathway | * alternative pathway
48
activated complement proteins lead to the following steps:
* Cell lysis * Enhanced inflammation * Neutralized viruses * Enhanced phagocytosis * Clearance of immune complexes
49
what are the cytokines that are involved in innate immunity?
* Tumor necrosis factor * Interferons (INF) * Interleukins
50
a response that occurs in reaction to any cellular injury
inflammatory response
51
List the steps in inflammatory response part 1: effects of inflammatory mediators
1. tissue damage 2. damaged cells and mast cells release inflammatory mediators 3. inflammatory mediators trigger : vasodilation of arterioles, increased capillary permeability, occurrence of pain, and recruitment of other cells (chemotaxis)
52
List the steps in inflammatory response part 2: Phagocyte response
1. local macrophages are activated 2. neutrophils migrate by chemotaxis to the damaged tissue and phagocytize bacteria & cellular debris 3. monocytes migrate to the tissue by chemotaxis & become macrophages, which phagocytize pathogens & cellular debris 4. the bone marrow increases production of leukocytes, leading to leukocytosis
53

* helper T cells | * cytotoxic T cells
57
T cells form in the ______ but migrate to the ______ to mature?
bone marrow, thymus
58

64
list the function of Tc cells:

84
what are the four hypersensitivity disorder?
* type I: immediate hypersensitivity * type II: antibody-mediated hypersensitivity * type III: immune complex-mediated hypersensitivity * type IV: delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH)
