Test 4- Lymphatic and Immune Systems Flashcards
Rapid response immunity
Innate immune defenses
Adaptive immune defenses
Slow responses
Includes the skin, mucous membranes, phagocytotic cells and antimicrobial proteins
Innate defenses
What is the sequence of innate immunity
- entry of microbe
- vasodilation of infected area
- increased capillary permeability
- leukocyte invasion
- destroy microbe
- tissue repair
What is the inflammatory response
- damaged cells release chemicals that induce blood vessels to dilate
- local clotting reactions seal off infected region
- WBC’s disinfect and clean area
Consists of an open branching network of vessels, lymph nodes, some glands, organs and bone narrow
lymphatic system
Carries macrophages throughout the body searching for infected sites and cancer cells
lymph fluid
concentrated areas of lymphocytes and macrophages
lymph nodes
What are the lymphatic glands and organs
thymus
spleen
tonsils
Where immature lymphocytes develop into T lymphocytes
thymus
Removes antigens from the blood and destroys worn-out blood cells
Spleen
Contains high concentration of lymphocytes
tonsils
What are the 2 types of adaptive immunity
active immunity
passive immunity
Achieved by expose to invader , when B lymphocytes respond and attach to the pathogen and memory cells are formed
Active immunity (vaccines)
Achieved when the person receives the antibodies from someone else (placenta, breastmilk)
Passive immunity
