Pharmacology test 5 part II Flashcards
When do blood cells differentiate?
In replication
Where do hematologic and immune blood cells originate?
In stem cells in bone marrow
What is a committee stem cell?
Stem cell committed to becoming a specific cell. Cytokinins make sure reproduction is controlled
What are cytokines?
Any chemical mediator for molecules
What are the hematopoietic growth factors for Cytokines?
Control reproduction , growth and differentiation of stem cells and CFU (colony forming unit)
Initiate cell maturation process
Involved in numerous physiologic responses
What are hematopoietic cytokines?
Diverse substance produced mainly by one marrow and WBC
What do hematopoietic cytokines regulate?
Cellular activities
Acts as chemical messengers between cells and growth factors
Perform by binding to receptors on target cells
What do colony-stimulating factors stimulate the production of?
Red blood cell Platelets Granulocytes: neutrophils, basophils, and eosinophils Granulocyte: macrophage Monocytes: macrophage Other blood cell types
What are types of cytokines?
Interferons and interleukins
What are interferons?
Inhibit replication of viral and other cells
Activate natural killer cells
Interferes with viral ability to take over host cell and replication.
What do interferons enhance?
Communication within cells
What to interferons help defend?
Host importance with tumors
What are interleukins?
Affect stimulators and suppressive cell response
What does interleukin 2 do
Kick in immunity T and B lymphocytes
What does interleukin 11 do
Stimulates platelets
What does interleukin 10 do?
Suppress
What is erythropoietin?
Stimulates red blood cells and hemoglobin production
Hormone secreted by the kidneys in response to decrease oxygen level in blood
Stimulates red cell differentiation, maturation and proliferation
What are conditions that trigger erythropoietin production?
Anything that makes body sense decrease oxygen in the body
How can you measure erythropoietin?
RBC count
Hemoglobin and hematocrit
Mean corpuscle volume
Ventriculocyte count
What is immunity?
Indicates host protection from a disease
Differentiate between self and foreign invader.
Self vs. non self
Does doe the body detect immunity,
Protein molecules on cells if cells are absent in body they activate the T and B lymphocyte
What is the immune system?
Detects and eliminates foreign substance that may cause tissue injury or disease
Regulates tissue homeostasis and repair
What are the types of immunity?
Innate/natural
Adaptive/acquired
Antigens
What is innate/natural immunity?
Not produced by immune system but are born with it
What are the types of adaptive/acquired immunity?
Active
Passive
Cellular
Humoral
What is active immunity?
Kicks in after exposure to disease antigen
7-10 days
What is passive immunity?
Antibodies formed in immune system or another human or animal, harvested and inserted in
What is cellular immunity?
T lymphocytes in tissue
What is humoral immunity?
B lymphocytes in blood
What are antigens?
Foreign (non-self) material to initiate response
