Lymphocytes

Question 1

What is an antigen?

Answer 1

substence that triggers specific immune response when present in the body

Question 2

what is an antibody?

Answer 2

specialized protien production in response to an antigen

Question 3

what are the five classes of Ab? (IgGAMED)

Answer 3

IgG, IgM, IgE, IgA, IgD (GAMED)

Question 4

what is IgG and IgM?

Answer 4

for bacteria and viruses

Question 5

what is IgE?

Answer 5

Allergic responses

Question 6

what is IgA?

Answer 6

protect Gi, urogenital, respiritory tracts

Question 7

what is IgD?

Answer 7

present on surfaces of B-Lumphs and initiate humoral immune response

Question 8

What happens when an Ag stimulates a B-Lymph?

Answer 8

the B-lymph divedes or transforms into cells that produce Ab

Question 9

what do lymphocytes look like?

Answer 9

round cell with large round dark purple nucleus with smooth margins and very little blue cytoplasm

Question 10

what are two types of lymphocytes?

Answer 10

T lymph and B lymphs

Question 11

What do T lymphs do?

Answer 11

they actively kill effected cells or stimulate inflammation to attract neutrophils

Question 12

what is cell mediated immunity?

Answer 12

the T cells control immunity

Question 13

do T cells secrete ab/

Answer 13

no

Question 14

What are T lymphs

Answer 14

they have Ag receptors on their bodies so they can recognize and react to other Ag and are effective to other cells with Ag on them. It gives a specific immune response to the intracellular phase of a viral infection, fungi, parasites, or bacteria.

Question 15

What are B-Lymphs?

Answer 15

they deal with humoral immunity which deals with ab in the blood, plasma, and lymph

Question 16

what do B lymphs do?

Answer 16

they see a Ag and create plasma cells and memory cells. the plasma cells with create antibodies to combat the Ag while the memory cells remember the Ab and save it for later.

Question 17

where do memory cells live?

Answer 17

in the lymph nodes

Question 18

how long does it take for the immune response to build up?

Answer 18

7-10 days

Question 19

how long does the memory cell stage take?

Answer 19

24-48 hours

Question 20

where will Ab go when they are produced?

Answer 20

they will circulate as a free gamma globulin protien in plasma until they combine with a specific Ag and neutralize it. a Eosinophil will then come eat it.

Question 21

How many lymphocytes will appear in the blood stream?

Answer 21

10%

Question 22

where do lymphocytes like to hang out?

Answer 22

lymphnodes, spleen and liver

Question 23

Where do T-Cells come from?

Answer 23

from stem cells in red bone marrow and travel via the blood stream to the Thyamus gland to mature. T for Thymus

Question 24

where do B cells come from?

Answer 24

from stem cells in the red bone marrow and travel via the blood stream to the liver, spleen, lymph nodes

Question 25

how long are lymphnodes normally in the blood stream?

Answer 25

30 minutes

Question 26

what are antigenicity stimulated lymph?

Answer 26

immunocytes larger/more intense cytoplasmic color with a dark purple rim on the cell membrane and somtimes with a golgi zone

Question 27

what is the golgi zone?

Answer 27

clear perinuclear zone on Ig

Question 28

which species have small lymphocytes with blue cytoplasm and in rare cases red cytoplasmic inclusions?

Answer 28

dogs

Question 29

what species is simular to dogs but the nucleus can be slightly indented and no cytoplasmic inclusions?

Answer 29

cats

Question 30

which species has lymphocytes straight up simular to dogs?

Answer 30

horses

Question 31

which species has lymphocytes as the predomininant WBC. small in size and can have larger cells with alot of cytoplasm, indented nucleus, and pink/lavendar cytoplsmic inclusions?

Answer 31

bovine.

Question 32

what are lymphoblasts?

Answer 32

large lymphs which contain nucleoli.

Question 33

what are plasma cells?

Answer 33

rare in blood, eccentrically placed around nucleus with a pale perinuclear area
