Week 2 - PreLab Flashcards
Components of bacterial cell walls
endotoxins
proteins secreted by bacteria
exotoxins
An example of a viral disease
smallpox
involved in the innate immune system
Surface Barriers:
1. Skin
2. Mucus membranes
Internal Defenses:
1. Phagocytes
2. NK cells
3. Inflammation
4. Antimicrobial Proteins
5. Fever
Involved in the Adaptive Immune System
Humoral Immunity
1. B Cells
Cellular Immunity
1. T cells
The result of the release of endogenous pyrogens
Fever
Begins with the release of mediators such as histamine
Inflammation
Produces antibodies
B-cells
B-lymphocytes
An example of bacterial disease
Tetanus
Responsible for cell-mediated immunity
T-Cells
T-Lymphocytes
Another word for antibodies
immunoglobin
Disease resistance which results from antigen-induced activation
active immunity
Innate
Born With it
(non-specific)
Adaptive
Exposed to it
