Test 3 (Immune System) Flashcards
Study of the physiological defenses by which the body recognizes itself from non self
Immunology
What are the immune functions
- protect against infection by microbes
- Isolate
3.
Cells of the immune system
Leukocytes
What are the types of leukocytes
Neutrophils (most common) Eosinophils basophils Monocytes Lymphocytes
Types of WBC’s
Granulocytes
Agranulocytes
What are the 3 types of granulocytes
- Neutrophils 65%
- Eosinophils 2-5%
- basophils .5-1%
First to appear at an infection that will phagocytize bacteria
Neutrophils
Two types of agranulocytes
Lymphocytes (25%
Monocytes 3-8%
How can immune defenses be classified?
Innate
Adaptive
Non-specific immune system
Innate
What defenses are included in innate immunity?
body surface
complement system
phagocytosis
Proteins that become activated when antibodies bond and coplement proteins promote destruction of the target cells
Complement system
Cells involved with Innate Immunity
Granulocytes
What is the sequence for innate immunity
Entry of microbe Vasodilation of infected area Increased capillary permeability Leukocyte invasion Destroy microbe Tissue repair
Process of Inflammation
Barrier break
damaged cells release chemicals that induce blood vessels to dilate
Clotting reactions seal off the infected region
WBC disinfect
