study of the origin of the disease

IgM
Anti-A and anti-B forms responsible for cross reactions between incompatible blood types; other forms attack bacteria insensitive to IgG. Primary immune response. blood and tissue incompatibility.
IgG
Responsible for defense against many viruses bacteria and bacterial toxins. Secondary Immune response. Largest class 80% can cross placenta to provide fetus with passive immunity. Anti-Rh antibodies produced by Rh-negative mothers are IgG anitbodies that can corss the placenta and attack fetal Rh-positive red blood cells producing hemolytic disease of the new born.
IgA
Attacks pathogens before they enter the body tissues. Sweat, tears, saliva, lactation.
IgD
Binds antigens in the extracellualer fluid to B-cells. B-cell receptor involved in activation.
IgE
Accelerates inflammation on exposure to antigen. Allergic Response
Tidal Volume
amount of air that is inhaled and exhaled during resting breathing
Residual Volume
amount of air left in the lungs after maximum exhalation
Vital Capacity
Maximum amount of air you can inhale
Functional Residual Volume
amount of air left in lungs after normal resting breathing
Minimal Volume
amount of air left in the lungs after the collapse
