Q

Process of Inflammation

A

Barrier break
damaged cells release chemicals that induce blood vessels to dilate
Clotting reactions seal off the infected region
WBC disinfect

A

Fever

17
Q

Induces hypothalamus to increase body temp

A

Fever

18
Q

Specific immune system

A

adaptive

19
Q
Specific
Systematic- travel
Has memory
Late reponders
Repond due to recognition of a specific antigen
A

Adaptive Immunity

20
Q

Process through which body fights off antigens via formation of specific antibodies

A

Clonal selection theory

21
Q

Determines which types of lymphocytes will need to be produced and in what quantities

A

Clonal Selection Theory

22
Q

Steps for adaptive immunity

A

New antigen

Lymphocyte activated- triggers replication/clone formation to prohibit/prevent infection

23
Q

2 types of cells produced in Lymphocyte activation

A

Effector

Memory

24
Q

What are the classes of adaptive immunity

A

Antibody-mediated or humoral immunity

Cell-mediated immunity

25
Q

Involves production of antibodies by B lymphocyte derivatives known as plasms

A

Humoral

26
Q

Involves production of T lymphocytes

A

Cell-mediated

27
Q

Makes antibodies that bind to specific antigens

A

B lymphocytes

28
Q

Carry out cell-mediated immunity

A

T Lymphocytes

29
Q

Results from exposure to an antigen

Self-generated immunity

A

Active immunity

30
Q

Borrowed immunity

Results from transfer of antibodies

A

Passive immunity

31
Q

Tolerance refers to preventing the immune system from attacking the persons own tissues

A

Autoimmune Disease

32
Q

Diseases caused by the failure of the immune system to recognize and tolerate self antigens

A

Autoimmune Disease

33
Q

Stimulation of B cells that produce antibodies that bind to self-antgens

A

Autoimmune disease
