Q

pathogenic properties

A

Adherence
Adhesion is the capability of pathogenic microbes to attach to the cells of the body using adhesion factors

Invasion is the ability of a pathogen to enter host cells or tissues, spread and cause disease.

Toxins
In addition to enzymes, certain pathogens are able to produce toxins, biological poisons that assist in their ability to invade and cause damage to tissues

22
Q

Adherance

A

Adhesins are found on the surface of certain pathogens and bind to specific receptors on host cells, for example on;

fimbriae and flagella of bacteria
cilia of protozoa
capsids or membranes of viruses

Q

toxins

A

endotoxins- gram negative bacteria- resulting in the disintegration of the membrane

exotoxins- gram positive bacteria and gram negative

Q

antigen

A

can initiate an immune response

identified as foreign

26
Q

inate immune response

A

non-specific

react same to every pathogen

inborn

1st and 2nd line of defense

27
Q

adaptive/ aquired

A

specific

against one specific pathogen

developed over time

require exsposure

3rd line of defense

28
Q

first line of defense

A

inate/ non specific

protect portal of entry
keep every invader out and prevent infection
Barriers ( physical, chemical )

physical- intact barrier/ structure- skin,

chemical- mucous membrane/ hair and cilia

fluids- tears, saliva, acid

defaction/ vommiting

29
Q

second line of defense

A

inate/ non specific

antimicrobial chemicals

phagocytes

natural killer cells

inflamtion

fever

30
Q

antimicrobial second line of defesne

A

interferon= inteferes with viral infection and activates immune cells… will flag for destruction

complement proteins- will bind to anything forigen= so will highlight it and will flag pagocytes to destroy it.

31
Q

phagocytes second line of defense

A

chemotaxins will flag phagocytes

phagocytosis occurs,

  1. phagocyte will recognise pathogen as forign
  2. pahgocyte will engulg the pathogen and form a phaosome
  3. lysosome in the cell will then merge and bind with phagosome forming a phagolysosome
  4. lysomome contains digestive enzymes which will break down pathogen
  5. exocytosis will occur
32
Q

natural killer cells second line of defense

A

target abnormal cells

will attack pre cancerous cells

33
Q

inflamation second line of defense

A

to limit chances of infections at this wound

damaged cells will see MAST cells release histamine and causes pahgocytes to come to the site.
increased blood flow// increased leakage
traps the pathogen from entering the blood stream
remove dead tissue because it will stop healing

  1. redness- increase blood flow for phagocytosis
  2. heat- increase blood flow
  3. swelling- capilary permability increase fluid leakage- increase phagocytosis
  4. pain
  5. loss of function in this site
34
Q

fever 2nd line of defense

A

systemic response

increase temp to increase immune cell functions
decrease the pathogen functions

higher metabolic rate to increase healing

35
Q

two adaptive immune responses

A

cell-mediated

antibody- mediated

specific/ versatile/ memory/ tolerance/ memory

36
Q

cell mediated response

third line of defense

A

T cell
kill directly and don’t make antibodies

T CELL activation= MHC marker on the surface of T cell- the antigen will bind to this

CD4- prsented on T helper cell

CD8 - T killer cells

37
Q

MHC 1

A

For a T cell to recognize an antigen, the antigen must be bound to
Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) in the PM of another cell

so will display the non-self antigen on MHC 1 marker to have it destroyed

thus activate cytoxic T cells to destroy by releaseing toxins

38
Q

MHC 2

A

Antigen presenting cell (APC): Macrophage, Lymphocyte B or
dendritic cells, express MHC 2

Helper T cell (via CD4 receptor) recognise
foreign II MHC
7. Helper T cells secrete cytokines
A. Attract and stimulate macrophages
B. Attract and stimulate cytotoxic T cells
C. Promote activation of B cells → make
antibodies

39
Q

helper T cells

A

ACTIVATED by pathogens

actract macrophages or activate B cells

40
Q

antibody

A

plasma cells secrete antibodies

long protein chain- heavy and a light chain

constant region- Ige antibodies have the same
variable region changes depending on the shape of the antigen binding site

41
Q

types of antibody

A

IgA- on muscosa/ blood
IgE- activate in allergies
IgD- B cell surface
IgG- memory
IgM- first made

42
Q

antibody - mediated response

A

Defend against antigens and pathogens
* B cell doesn’t directly touch antigen
* Produce antibodies (immunoglobulin)
* Provides immunological memory
* React instantly next time it sees the same enemy

43
Q

antibodies

A

Activation of complement
2. Attraction of phagocytes
3. Stimulation of inflammation
4. Prevention viral/bacterial adhesion
5. Precipitation and agglutination
6. Neutralisation
7. Opsonisation

44
Q

4 types of immunity

A

active or passive
(memory)

natural or artificial

45
Q

natural

A

come into contact with the disease

46
Q

artificial

A

immunisation- given a vaccine/ the disease

47
Q

immunisation

A

body will make antibdies against antigen

memory cells made

destroy if re-exsposed

secondary response- quicker/ more rapid and a greater concentration of antibodies are produced because of the B cells already being present

48
Q

vaccine pros/ cons

A

pros= Protective for relevant disease
* Safe
* No adverse effects
* Sustained
* Long-term protection
* Generate antibodies (B cells) or protective T cells
* Practical
* Use and stability

cons=
Adverse reactions
* Redness and swelling
* Allergic reactions
* Consider
* Prevalance of disease
* Severity of disease
* Morbidity and mortality

49
Q

herd immunity

A

85 percent of immunity will protect the entire population

decreases the number of hosts able to pass on disease

50
Q

nosocomial infection

A

an infection that you get in a hospital

51
Q

acute inflamation

A

remove injuury agents
remove infectious agent
clear damaged cells

innate

52
Q

chronic inflammation

A

if acute goes on for a long time

auto-immune

53
Q

purpose of inflammation

A

destroys, dilutes, neutralises disease agents

stimmulate immune response

enable healing

54
Q

chemical inflammation

A

cells that are damaged will release histamine

histamine will increase capilary permability

prostaglandis- vasodilation

thromboxanes- clotting

leukotrines- attract wbc

55
Q

two types of inflamtion

A

vascular phase

cellular phase

56
Q

vascular phase of inflammation

A

vasodilation

increased blood flow to site of injury
redness and heat

increased vascular permability
- swelling
protein rich plasma leaves the blood vessels

57
Q

exudate vs transudate

A

rich in protein
fibrin present
increased vascular permability

58
Q

cellular phase

A

Margination and adhesion.
2. Transmigration or Diapedesis.
3. Chemotaxis.
4. Activation of leukocytes  phagocytosis

59
Q

inflammation signs cardinal

A

redness
warmth
pain
swelling
loss of function

60
Q

A

fever
aneorexia
