A

A virus injects a host cell and replicates itself

49
Q

Lytic cycle

A

Viral DNA or RNA is injected into the host cell where it directs the synthesis of more of the viral genome and more viral capsids which are then assembled inside the host cell. The cell to rupture releasing the newly produced viruses.

50
Q

Lysogenic cycle

A

Viral DNA is integrated into the host cell DNA and may be carried for years or may switch to the lyric cycle. While latent the viral DNA is called prophase

65
Q

Non-specific defense

A

React to anything foreign and to tissue damage. Is the body’s first response and involves no memory of specific pathogens.

66

A

Responds to specific pathogens or antigens and remembers antigen for a future attack

67
Q

Physical barriers

A

Non-specific pathogen, skin, mucous membranes, ciliated membranes

68
Q

Chemical defense

A

Non-specific defense, kills microbes with lysozyme s found in saliva, sweat, and tears and acid like HCL from digestion and skins oil and sweat lowering the ph

69
Q

Inflammatory response

A

Non-specific defense, histamines cause blood vessels to dilate around injury to attract more immune cells , mast cells are white blood cells in connective tissue that release chemical alarms causing dilation to attract phagocytes

76
Q

Lymphocytes

A

White blood cells involved in the body’s specific immune response (T and B cells)

77
Q

Cell mediated response

Long range defense initiated by T-cells
B cell with the appropriate antigen receptor binds to antigen stimulates proliferation and clones itself resulting in plasma and memory B cells

82
Q

Plasma cells

A

B cells that produce antibodies to fight infection

83
Q

Memory B cells

A

Cells that remain in the body for future immunity . They will quickly produce plasma cells in the body if infected by the same pathogen again

Specific antigen binding site in 2 arms of the Y to fight an infection

85
Q

Clonal expansion

A

Copied many times to aid specific defense

86

A

First time infected several days for B cells to proliferate

87
