Q

Fragmentation and regeneration

A

First the body is broken into pieces (fragmentation) and these pieces regenerate and grow the lost body parts. This occurs in some annelids, sponges, cnidarians, echinoderms, and tunicates

Q

What is opsonization in antibodies

A

Coated with antigens that are more easily consumed by phagocytic cells

151
Q

Compliment system

A

Activated by antigen antibody complexes
Preventing adherence by binding pili
Cross-linking produces large antigen- antibody complexes that are consumed by phagocytic cells

152
Q

T helpers

A

release compounds that attract phagocytic cells to inflamed tissues

153
Q

Cytotoxic T cells

A

Recognize and bind to the surface of “altered” cells virally infected cells or cancerous cells and release a protein (perforin) destroys the cell

154
Q

Regulatory T cells

A

Stop immune system from overreacting

155
Q

Killed, whole vaccines

A

Made from the entire pathogen after treating the organisms with formalin, radiation, or some other agent that does not destroy antigenicity- rabies, pertussis, polio

156
Q

Live attenuated vaccines

A

Eliminating the virulence factors from the microbes- measles, mumps, TB

157
Q

Sun unit or cell free vaccines

A

Prepared from portions of he microbes that result antigenicity

158
Q

What does clonal selection apply to

A

both B and T lymphocytes process where a lymphocytes antigen binding site binds to an antigen allowing for the lymphocyte to proliferate and differentiate into Effector Cells and Memory Cells

Once B cell activated can proliferate and produce millions of progeny- short- term plasma cells

159
Q

Helper T cells

A

Involved in specific immunity, participate in the activation of B cells and release compounds tat attract phagocytic cells to inflamed tissues

160
Q

Activation

A

Naive cells activated directly by pathogens of Antigen Presenting Cells
Naive Helper T cells activated by antigen presenting cells- active or effector T cells promote activate of naive Cytotoxic T or B cells
