Mixed Flashcards
the condition of being resistant to infection
Immunity
Study of a host’s reaction when foreign substances(antigens) are introduced into the body
Immunology
Where cells developed and matured
Primary lymphoid organs
2 primary lymphoid organs
Bone Marrow
Thymus
Organs that process the antigens for attack
Secondary lymphoid organs
Secondary lymphoid organs are
Spleen, lymph nodes, tonsils, appendix, peyer’s patches(intestine),MALT
2 branches of immunity
Natural/Innate
Acquired/Adaptive/Specific
type of immunity that is present at birth
Natural/Innate Immunity
Immunity that is not antigen specific and no memory
Natural/Innate Immunity
Immunity that is absent at birth and acquired through exposure
Acquired/Adaptive/Specific Immunity
Immunity that is antigen specific and with memory
Acquired/Adaptive/Specific Immunity
2 parts of Natural/Innate Immunity
External defense
Internal defense
Intact skin, mucous membranes, body fluids, normal flora
External defense
WBCs, inflammation, phagocytosis
Internal defense
2 types of Acquired/Adaptive/Specific Immunity
Cell-mediated Immunity
Humoral-Mediated Immunity
Immunity that is mediated by T cells
Cell-mediated Immunity
Immunity that is mediated by B cells
Humoral-Mediated Immunity
bacterial infection, phagocytosis and respiratory burst
neutrophils
parasitic and helminthic infection, neutralization of basophil and mast cells products
eosinophil
hypersensitivity reactions, release histamines in blood
basophils
hypersensitivity reactions, connective tissue cell in tissue
mast cells
phagocytosis, migrate to tissues to become macrophages
monocytes
phagocytosis, elimination of bacteria, intracellular parasites, tumor cells, secretion of cell mediators, ag presentation
macrophages
phagocytosis, presentation of antigen to helper T cells in blood and lymph organs
Dendritic cells
cell mediated immunity
derived from cells in the bone marrow
mature and differentiate in thymus
T lymphocytes
60 to 80 % of lymphocytes
T lymphocytes
humoral mediated immunity
developed in the bone marrow
Have surface Igs (IgM, IgD) that act as receptors for ag
B lymphocytes
10 to 20% of lymphocytes
B lymphocytes
1st line of defense against tumor cells & cells infected with viruses
NK cells
without T and B markers
NK cells
CD16 & CD56
NK Cells
bridge between innate & acquired immunity
NK cells
<20% of lymphocytes
NK cells
Normal CD4:CD8 ratio
2:1
Cytotoxic T cells & suppresor T cell
CD8 T cells
Helper T cells, Regulatory T cells, Delayed type hypersensitivity cells
CD4 T cells
Thymus dependent
T cells
Thymus independent
B cells
Type of Activated B cells
Plasma cells or Memory cells
type of B lymphocytes that produce antibodies
Plasma cells or Memory cells
Types of Acquired Immunity
Active
Passive
Type of Acquired immunity made by oneself
Active Acquired Immunity
Type of Acquired immunity which is from other host
passive acquired immunity
Antigenic Exposure/Infection
Natural Active Acquired Immunity
Vaccination (Ag)
Artificial Active Acquired immunity
