mid immunology Flashcards
The branch of microbiology that deals with the study of body defenses against invading microorganisms
Immunology
Involve complex interactions among any many different types of body cells and cellular secretions
Immune response
The Bility to ward off diseases through the body defenses
Resistance
It is a type of assistance that refers to all body defenses that protect the body from any kind of pathogens
Non specific resistance
It is a type of resistance that refers to the offenses against specific microorganism
Specific resistance or immunity
It is a vulnerability or lack of resistance
Susceptibility
Nonspecific resistance of first line of body Defense
Skin and mucous membranes
Nonspecific resistance of second line of bodily fence
Phagocytosis and complement system
Closely packed cells, continuous layering and presence of carotene, provides a formidable barrier to the entrance of microorganism
Skin
It lines the gastrointestinal, urinary and reproductive tract
Mucous membrane
Can he be at the entrance of many microorganisms but they offer less protection than the skin
Mucous membrane
A group of the structures that manufactures and drains tears
Lacrimal apparatus
Produce saliva that help to delete the number of micro organisms
Salivary gland
Covers the cell of the mucous membrane or the lower respiratory tract
ciliary escalator
It’s profiles inhale dust and micro organism, that have become trapped in mucus upforward toward the throat
ciliary escalator
Covers the larynx during swallowing and prevent microorganisms from entering the lower respiratory tract
Epiglottis
Cleanse by the flow of urine in to prevent microbial colonization in the urinary track
Urethra
Move microorganisms out of the female body
Vagina secretion
