Quiz 2 Flashcards
What is the systemic immune system made of?
Bone marrow
Spleen
Lymph nodes
Pathogen enters —> DC takes up antigen —> DC migrates to nearest lymph node —> DC presents to T cell —> T cell activates and goes into circulation
What is the inductive site?
Lymph nodes
Pathogen enters —> DC takes up antigen —> DC migrates to nearest lymph node —> DC presents to T cell —> T cell activates and goes into circulation
What is the effector site?
Infected tissue
Was the systemic or mucosal immune system discovered first?
Systemic
What is special about mucosal inductive sites?
They lack afferent lymphatics because they sample antigens directly from mucosal surface
What are the 4 types of MALT?
GALT (gut)
NALT (nasal)
BALT (bronchus)
TALT (tear-duct)
What is the GALT made up of?
Peyer’s patch
Isolated lymphoid follicles (ILF)
Appendix
What MALT is MLN (mesentric lymph nodes) associated with?
GALT
What are MLN (mesentric lymph nodes)?
Draining lymph nods of GALT
What is the NALT made up of?
Waldeyer’s ring (adenoid and palatine tonsils)
What are CLN (cervical lymph nodes)?
Draining lymph nodes of NALT
What MALT is typically not found in adults?
BALT
What are effective sites?
Where effector cells perform thier action
What’s are the 3 effector sites of the mucosal immune system?
Lamina propria
Surface epithelium
Stroma of exocrine glands
What are some examples of innate immune cells?
macrophages
DC
Granulocytes
What are some examples of adaptive immune cells?
All B and T cells
Plasma cells
Where are most innate immune cells located in mucosal immunity?
Lamina propria
What are some of the cell types in Peyer’s patch?
Macrophages
DC
Naive T cells
Naive B cells
In systemic immunity, __________ act as the cellular messengers by delivering degraded pathogens to lymphoid organs
Dendritic cells
Which of the following is most likely to be found in the inductive compartment of the GALT?

Eosinophils
Plasma cells
Innate lymphoid cells
Naive CD4+ T cells
