Unit II Review Flashcards
Inflammation Signs
-redness and heat: increase in blood flow
-swelling: increased capillary permeability
-pain: tissue fluid pressure and inflammatory chemicals
Margination
WBC sticking to endothelium during inflammation
Antigen
molecule capable of binding to T or B cell receptor
T Cell Activation
requires foreign antigen to have APC
APC
typically is an infected cell, B cell, or macrophage
-must have MHC with it (Class I or II)
What does the ER produce?
Class II MHC proteins and then fragments bind -> displayed on plasma membrane
Abnormal peptides from Class I are displayed by?
Class I MHC proteins on plasma membrane
Helper T Cells
activation requires APC
effector cells secrete cytokines
they help activate B cells and cytotoxic T cells
Cytotoxic T Cells
activation requires exposure to antigen and cytokine stimulation
-cancer/infected cells secrete perforin = produce memory cells
Memory T Cells
results in more cytotoxic T cells
Cell-Mediated Immunity Steps
- pathogen enters body + phagocytized by APC
- antigen presented to T cell = secretes cytokines
- cytokines activate cytotoxic T cell
- proliferation occurs = destroy cells that are infected
- differentiation = produces memory cells
B Cells
-activation requires exposure to antigen, cytokines from helper T cell
-differentiation = plasma proteins (secrete antibodies) and memory cells
Antibodies
gamma globulin plasma proteins
four polypeptides (2 heavy, 2 light)
regions (constant = same antibody, variable = different)
two binding sites
Antibody-Mediated Summary Steps
- B cell binds to and engulfs antigen
- B cell displays antigen to helper T cell
- helper T cell secretes cytokines to activate B cell
- proliferation and differentiation occur
Nutrients
substances we get energy and building materials from
Digestive Tract Wall
-Mucosa: SCE, lamina propria, muscularis mucosae — function: secretion, absorption, protection
-Submucosa: dense irregular connective tissue
-Muscularis Externa: inner circular, outer longitudinal layers — function: mixing movements, propelling, peristalsis, segmentation (small intestine)
-Serosa: SSE and areolar tissue
Tongue
Components
papillae with taste buds
lingual frenulum
lingual tonsils
Salivary Glands
Names
Parotid
Submandibular
Sublingual
Salivary Glands
Secretions
-Serous cell: cleanses mouth, salivary amylase beings carbohydrate digestion, lysozyme destroys bacteria
-Mucous: buffers pH, provides lubrication, binds food into bolus
During swallowing…
tongue pushes bolus to oropharynx
uvula blocks nasopharynx
epiglottis blocks opening to larynx
Esophagus
job
transport bolus from pharynx to larynx
passes through esophageal hiatus of diaphragm
appears collapsed
Stomach
functions
mix food with gastric juice to form chyme
chemical digestion of proteins begins
limited absorption
distention and storage
Stomach
structures
rugae
oblique muscle layer
greater and lesser curvatures
regions - cardium, fundus, body, pylorus
Stomach
gastric glands
gastric glands secrete gastric juice through gastric pits
Gastric juice components
Chief cells - secrete pepsinogen
Parietal cells - secrete HCl (converts pepsinogen to pepsin), secrete factor for b12 absorption
G cells - secrete gastrin
Regulation of Gastric Juice Secretion
mechanisms
- Neural: parasympathetic impulses promote, sympathetic impulses inhibit
- Hormonal: gastrin promotes secretion, CCK + gastric inhibitory peptide + secretin = inhibit gastrin secretion
Regulation of Gastric Juice Secretion
Phases
- Cephalic: parasympathetic impulses stimulate
- Gastric: stretching of stomach stimulates, gastrin stimulates secretion
- Intestinal (chyme enters small intestine): intestinal gastrin stimulates, CCK + secretin + gastric inhibitory peptide = inhibit gastric secretion
Small Intestine Structure
-regions: duodenum (25cm), jejunum (2+m), ileum (3+m)
-circular folds, villi, microvilli increase surface absorption area
-villus contains capillaries and lateal
-intestinal glands occur at base of villi
-digestive enzymes are bound to microvilli
Small Intestine Function
-chemical digestion of proteins, lipid, carbohydrates
-absorption = monosaccharides and amino acids cross mucosa -> move into capillaries -> transported to liver by hepatic portal vein
-secretion: watery fluid to dissolve chemicals, mucus for protection, digestive hormones
Fats collect in clusters encased in proteins to form…
chylomicrons
Large Intestine Functions
-compaction and defecation
-mucus secretion: protects tissues, neutralizes pH, bind feces
-absorption: water by osmosis, electrolytes by active transport
