Lymphoid Organ and Cells of Immune System Flashcards
Primary lymphoid organs includes
Bone Marrow and Thymus
the site of B cells and T cell maturation.
Primary Lymphoid Organ: Bone Marrow and Thymus
Secondary lymphoid organ includes
Lymph Nodes, Tonsils, Appendix, Spleen, Peyer’s Patchers
It is the site of proliferation and differentiation of T cells and B cells.
Secondary lymphoid organ
Trapping site of pathogens, Production of
antibodies and site of phagocytosis.
Secondary lymphoid organ
Cells of immune system: innate immunity
Neutrophil
Eosinophil
Basophil
Mast Cell
Macrophage
Dendritic Cells
Polymorphonuclear leukocytes; respond to bacterial infection.
Neutrophil
Produce toxic proteins against certain parasites.
Eosinophil
Responds to allergic and hypersensitivity reactions.
Basophil
Tissue based basophil; binds with IgE.
Mast Cell
Precursor of monocyte; cells that migrate to the tissue; APC’s or Antigen Presenting Cell
Macrophage
Resemble the dendrites of nerve cells; APC’s
Dendritic cells
Cells that responds to bacterial infection.
Neutrophil
It is highly phagocytic and motile cells.
Neutrophil
Neutrophil is active in the ______ stage of infection.
initial
lobes of neutrophil
2 to 5 lobes
It has a phagocytic effect and have the ability
to leave the blood.
Eosinophil
eosinophil major role is to produce toxic proteins against parasites such as _______.
helminths
It releases substances such as histamine, that are important in inflammation and allergic response.
BASOPHIL and MAST CELL
Mast cells resembles _____ but larger
and more granules, it bind with ____.
basophils ; IgE
It has a major role in phagocytosis and antigen
presenting cells.
Macrophage
