Q

Innate vs Adaptive

A

INNATE IMMUNITY
is One non-specific
Two early defenses
Three physical barriers, microbial factors, phagocytic cells

ADAPTIVE IMMUNITY
are B & T cells
Antigen-specific
Later defenses
Results from the activation of one or more classes of
lymphocytes

Q

How do Phagocytosis Work?

A

Neutrophils recognize surface proteins on the cell walls of bacteria adheres to them then the folds its membrane around the bacteria then releases digestive enzymes to kill and digest bacteria.

Q

How does the complement system work?

A

The first complement will recognize the bacteria and attach to it, which then will activate the other complement components causing a castigate effect of activation of the complement system until the bacteria is completely coated in complements which will make it easier for macrophages, neutrophils and other pathogens to phagocytosis the bacteria.

Q

How does the Interferon system work?

A

When a cell is infected, it will release interferon proteins to signal to uninfected cells to stay away and will induce changes in the uninfected cells that help them become temporarily resistant to the infection, the release of the Interferon protein will also activate natural killer cells that will help kill off the virus and the infected cells that are releasing the interferon proteins.

Q

B-cells VS T-cells (4 points each)

A

B lymphocytes
1. works on foreign antigen before it enters a cell
2. Involve antibodies
3.helps gainst extracellular viruses and bacteria, toxins
4. Binds to antigens in body fluids

T lymphocytes
1. works on foreign antigen after it has entered a cell
2. No antibodies involved
3. hepl against virus-infected cells, tumor cells, transplanted organs
4. Can only bind to antigen epitopes which are presented to them on the surface of cells

Q

How do B cells work

A

The B cell has two immune responses, primary and secondary. Primary only occurs, If the foreign body has never been detected before, The B-cell will attach to the virus and becomes a memory B cell. The secondary Immune response occurs when the body has previously encountered the foreign antigens and is able to respond rapidly by creating more of the memory B cells from its last encounter with the antigen.

Q

How do T cells work?

A

There are two main types of T cells, cytotoxic T cells and helper T cells. T-cells have receptors covering their surface which are antigens specific, which means they can only bind to one shape of antigen, when helper T-cells bind to viral antigens and send out signals to the cytotoxic T cell who releases cytokines to help kill the infected cells.

Q

Autoimmune mechanism of the body against Streptococcus pyogenes.

A

Streptococcal A phosgene’s are recognizes by the Immune system by the M protein on the surface of the compound. Because this compound is so similar to host proteins antibodies found on cardaic tissue and may mistakenly identify the host as the foreign pathogen and attack the host as well

Q

autoimmune mechanism of the body against staphyloccocus aureus

A

Q

Definition of helicobacter pylori

A

an infection that occurs within the upper GI tract
that may cause ulcers, and information.

Q

Pathophysiology of helicobacter pylori

A

H. pylori gastritis typically starts as an acute gastritis in the antrum, causing intense inflammation and, over time, it may extend to involve the entire gastric mucosa, resulting in chronic gastritis.

Q

name 2 disease helicobacter pylori can make.

A
  1. Peptic ulcer disease
  2. Chronic gastritis

Q

Creating a chronically inflamed environment with reduced stomach acidity that favors the growth of other bacteria in the GI environment,

maintaining the inflammation and thereby reducing the level of vitamin C in the gastric juice
