Test 1 Flashcards
Classification of immune system
-its divided into 2 :
1-adaptive : which is specific 20 line of defense protects the organism and it have two type: humoral components, cellular components
2-innate : non specific 1 line of defense and it has two types : cellular and humoral components
Comparison of innate and adaptive immunity
1-Adaptive immunity:
1.1 A lag period
1.2 antigen specific
1.3 development of memory
-2 innate immunity:
2.1 no time lag
2.2 not specific
2.3 no memory development
explain the Cells of immune system
—there is 2 type of cells :
1-Myeloid cells :
1.1 Granaulocytes : neutrophils , basiphils , Eosinophil’s
1.2 Monocytes : Macrophages, Kupffer cells , Dedtic cells
2- Lymphoid cells :
2.1 T cells : helper cells , Supperssor cells , cytotoxic cells
2.2 B cells : Plasma cells
2.3 Natural killer NK cells
Function of the immune system
1- to protect from pathogens by :
1.1 intracellular mechanism: for viruses, bacteria, parasites
1.2 Extracellular mechanism: most for bacteria, fungi, parasites
2- to eliminate modified or altered Self
Effect of Immune system
1- Beneficial:
1.1 protection from invaders
1.2 Elimination of altered Self
2-Detrimental:
2.1 discomfort and collateral damage ( inflammation)
2.2 damage of self : hypersensitive reaction
describe The anatomical barrier, mechanical factors
1-System organ : Skin
2- cell type : squamous epithelium
3-mechanism: physical barrier
4-components : sweat
5-mechanism of sweat : Antimicrobial fatty acids
6- skin and mucosa membrane
7-Normal flora
8- mechanism of Antimicrobial substance : Competition for nutrients and colonization
