Module 19 pt 1 Flashcards
The innate defense system is also known as ______
Nonspecific
The adaptive defense system is also known as ______
Specific
What does the innate first line of defense include?
Skin and body membranes
What does the innate second line of defense contain?
Cells like phagocytes and anti-mircobial proteins
What is the adaptive immune system contain?
Cells that attack specific things
This is on the skin and helps with the first line of defense, it is resistant to weak acids and bases, bacterial enzymes and toxins
Keratin
What are two modifications of certain membranes that help keep bacteria out?
Nose hairs
Respiratory Cilia
Macrophages are the chief phagocytes, they can be _____ which wander through tissues or _____ that are permanent resistants of some organs
Free
Fixed
What are inside phagocytes that digest the bacteria engulfed?
Lysosomes
When is respiratory burst necessary during phagocytosis
When certain cells are immune to lysosomes
What is released during respiratory bursts that kill a failed phagocyte?
Free radials and extra enzymes
What are free radicals
Have potent killing abilities
What is the most widespread killing of cells?
Oxidizing chemicals
What do neutrophils release that can pierce membranes of the pathogens?
Defensins
What do natural killer cells target?
Cells without self cell surfaces
What way of killing do natural cells use?
Apoptosis
This response sets the stage for repair, it is triggered when body tissues are injured or effected
Inflammatory response
What are the four cardinal signs of acute inflammation?
Redness
Heat
Swelling
Pain
What is sometimes considered the 5th sign of acute inflammation?
Impairment of function
Macrophages and epithelial cells of boundary tissue bear _________s (TRLS) that play a central role in the triggering immune response
Toll-like Receptors
TRLs recognize ______ classes of infecting microbes
Specific Classes
Activated TRLs trigger the release of cytokines, what does this do?
Brings in more WBCs
This is released from mast cells, it is a potent inflammatory chemical
Histamine
All of the inflammatory chemicals do what to the blood vessel?
causes Vasodilation
This is a term meaning congested with blood
Hyperemia
What does hyperemia cause?
Redness and Heat
What causes hyperemia?
Dilation of arterioles
In inflammation, there is increased permeability of capillaries, this causes more pressure on nerves which causes pain and is called
Edema
