Q

5 Types of Antibodies (Immunoglobulins)

A
  1. Immunoglobulin G (IgG)
  2. Immunoglobulin A (IgA)
  3. Immunoglobulin M (IgM)
  4. Immunoglobulin D (IgD)
  5. Immunoglobulin E (IgE)
17
Q

Special proteins that fight off and destroy disease-causing germs

A

Antibodies

18
Q

foreign substance introduce into the body and causes immune response; molecules produced by the body

A

Antigen

19
Q

5 Types of Antibodies (Immunoglobulins)

is in tissue fluid and plasma and defends against bacterial cells, viruses, and toxins and activates complement, a group of immune system enzymes

A

Immunoglobulin G (IgG)

20
Q

5 Types of Antibodies (Immunoglobulins)

is in exocrine gland secretions (breast milk, saliva, tears) and defends against bacteria and viruses

A

Immunoglobulin A (IgA)

21
Q

5 Types of Antibodies (Immunoglobulins)

is found in plasma and activates complement and reacts with blood cells during transfusions

A

Immunoglobulin M (IgM)

22
Q

5 Types of Antibodies (Immunoglobulins)

can be found on surface of B cells, especially those of infants. It activates B cells

A

Immunoglobulin D (IgD)

23
Q

5 Types of Antibodies (Immunoglobulins)

is found in exocrine gland secretions and promotes allergic reaction

A

Immunoglobulin E (IgE)

24
Q

Immunity

A
  1. Innate Immunity
  2. Acquired Immunity
  3. Adaptive Immunity
  4. Active Immunity
  5. Passive Immunity
25
Q

1. Is our First Defense against invaders.
2. Refers to nonspecific defense mechanisms that come into play immediately or within hours of an antigen’s appearance in the body.
3. Act as physical and chemical barriers against pathogens susch as skin, chemicals in the blood, and immune system cells that attact foreign cells in the body

A

Innate Immunity

26
Q

Main Components of Innate Immunity:

A
  1. Physical epithelial barriers
  2. Phagocytic leukocytes
  3. Dendritic cells
  4. a special type of lymphocyte called natural killer (NK) cell
  5. Circulating plasma proteins
27
Q

1. Takes time to develop after first exposure to a new antigen.
2. However, afterward, the antigen is rememabered, and subsequent responses to that antigen are quicker and more effective than those that occured after the first exposure

A

Acquired Immunity

28
Q

1. also called specific immunity because it tailors its attact to specific antigen previosly encountered. Its hallmarks are its ability to learn, adapat, and remember.
2. Develops before exposure to agents such as microbes, toxins, or other foreign substance. It involves a very specific response to pathogens

A

Acquired Immunity

29
Q

1. After exposure to agents such as microbes, toxins, or other foreign substances. It involves a very specific response to pahtogens.

A

Adaptive Immunity

30
Q

Two Types of adpative immune responses:

A
  1. Humoral immunity
  2. Cell-mediated immunity
31
Q

Types of adaptive immune responses:

Mediated by antibodies produced by B lymphocytes

A

Humoral immunity

32
Q

Types of adaptive immune responses

Mediated by T lymphocytes

A

Cell-mediated immunity

33
Q

1. It develops naturally when memory cells form clones in response to an infection and can also develop following immunization, also called vaccination
2. in immunization a nonpathogenic form of a microbe or part of a microbe elicits an immune response to an immunological memory

A

Active Immunity

34
Q

1. it provide immediatem, short-term protection.
2. it is conferred naturally when IgG crosses the placenta from mother to fetus or when IgA passes from mother to infant breast milk
3. It can be conferred artificially by injecting antibodies into nonimmune person

A

Passive Immunity

35
Q

Active immunity

Natural and Artificial

A

Infection and Vaccination

36
Q

Passive immunity

Natural and Artificial

A

Maternal antibodies and Monoclonal antibodies
