MD2001 Week 5 Flashcards
C-reactive protein
an acute phase protein that binds to antigen to perform opsonization
opsonin
substance that coats antigen and enhances ability of phagocytes on antigen
which interferon is only produced by T cells
its gamma type is only produced by T cells
which two lymphocytes can directly kill infected cells?
T cells and NK cells
describe the anatomical structure of an antibody
has 2 identical binding sites (Fab) and Fc that binds to Fc receptor or complement
3 complement functions
- lysis
- chemotaxis
- opsonization
what 2 things help phagocytes bind to antigen?
- opsonization
2. antibody
what is used to make antibodies?
toxoids (inactive toxin) are used to make this
3 failures of the immune system
- hypersensitivity
- immunodeficiency
- autoimmunity
2 main sections of the oral cavity
- oral vestibule
2. oral cavity proper
what are the 2 muscles of facial expression?
- orbicularis iris
2. buccinator
what connects the 2 maxilla?
suture joint connects this oral bone structure
2 parts of the mandible
- ramus
2. body
muscle of the tongue
genioglossus
muscle between mandible and hyoid bone under the tongue
mylohyoid
2 main arches of the soft palate
- palatopharyngeal arch
2. palatoglossal arch
where is pain referred to upon injury of oral palate?
referred pain to middle ear
3 salivary glands
- parotid
- submandibular
- sublingual
bursa lying behind stomach
omental bursa/lesser sac
what does the greater omentum attach to
this fold of peritoneum attaches transfer mesocolon
folds of the peritoneum that attach structures to posterior abdominal wall
mesentery
ligament found in greater omentum
gastrocolic ligament
what artery supplies the foregut, midgut, and hindgut respectively?
coeliac, superior mesenteric, and inferior mesenteric supply these structures respectively
where is pain from foregut referred to?
pain from this part of GI is referred to T5-9
where is pain from midgut referred to?
pain from this part of GI is referred to T10/11
where is pain from hindgut referred to?
pain from this part of GI is referred to T12
what nerve supplies the pylorus?
vagus nerve supplies this GI structure
pathway of collagen in cell
- pro collagen made in RER then released out of cell through Golgi by tubular structure
- Peptides chopped off to form tropocollagen
- cross-linked to form collagen
membrane tube that makes collagen fibrils
fibripositor
proteoglycans’ roles
- matrix support/cushion/hydration
- glue-like
- link b/w proteins in ECM + cell surface
what functional groups do glycosaminoglycans either have?
they either contain sulphate or carbonic acid groups
what connects collagen and proteoglycans to integrin
fibronectin
2 functions of myofibroblasts
- secrete collagen like fibroblasts
2. smooth muscle-like
what anchors cadherin to actin in adherens?
catenin
proteins found in plaque in desmosomes (2)
- desmoplakin
2. plakoglobin
types of cadherins found in desmosomes
- desmocollins
2. desmogleins
basic structure of junction b/w cytoskeleton and
- collagen/proteoglycan
- fibronectin
- integrin
- anchor protein
- actin
disorder caused by absence of dystrophin
Duchenne’s Muscular Dystrophy
drug that overrides premature stop signal mutation in Duchenne’s Muscular Dystrophy to produce dystrophin
ataluren
carcinoma in situ
cancer stage where tumour cells have not breached basement membrane
3 stages of cell adhesion in cancer
- carcinoma in situ
- micro invasive carcinoma
- invasive carcinoma
what happens in micro invasive carcinoma? (4)
- cadherin expression reduced
- cells convert to mesenchymal cells
- MMPs secrete which degrade basement membrane
- interns overexpressed
what happens in invasive carcinoma?
- angiogenesis (making new blood vessels)
- entry into lymphatic/blood system -> metastasis
how do normal microbiota fight infection?
- compete w/ pathogens for colonization site
- produce antibiotic substances
- may produce toxic metabolic products to inhibit bacterial growth
- may alter pH
commensal
term for normal host microbiota
pathogenicity
capacity to cause disease
3 types of pathogens
- obligate
- conditional
- opportunistic
