The body's reaction in response to foreign antigens, involving the formation of antibodies by B-Cells, and cell mediated responses by T-Cells.

Immune Response

T-Cells defend against abnormal cells and pathogens inside cells.

Cell Mediated Immunity

Mature in the thymus glad.


Once activated, they directly attack infected and abnormal cells.


Responsible for cell mediated immunity.

T-Lymphocytes

When B-Cells defend against antigens and pathogens in body fluids.

Antibody Mediated Immunity

Mature in the bone marrow.


Once activated they form antibodies, coordinate the activities of adaptive & innate defenses.


Responsible for antibody mediated immunity.

B Lymphocytes

Globulin proteins produced by plasma cells in response to an invading antigen.

Antibodies

Foreign proteins which stimulate the production of antibodies & the development of an immune response.


(not to be confused with a self antigen)

Antigen

A small part on an antigen that is capable of provoking an immune response.

Epitope

Small number of lymphocytes differentiate into ________.


They attack and destroy bacteria, transplanted tissue cells, and body cells that are infected with virus or have turned cancerous.

Natural Killer Cells

group of very active phagocytic cells that are found in connective tissues, epidermis, mucous membranes and lymphatic organs.


They phagocytize tissue, debris, dead nuetrophils, bacteria and other foreign matter.


Process foreign antigens & display antigen fragments on MHC11 proteins.

Antigen Presenting Cells

Proteins that occur normally on the membranes of all nucleated cells.

Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC)

Found on all nucleated cells




Will only recognize and bind to CD8 on cytotoxic cells.

MHC 1

Found only in APC cells


(includes: macrophages, dendritic and b-cells)




Only bind to T Helper cells with CD4 markers





MHC 2

immunity formed in response to a foreign antigen through vaccines.

Arificially Acquired Active Immunity

immunity formed in response to a foreign antigen introduced through exposure

Naturally Acquired Active immunity

immunity transferred from another source through gamma globulins

Artificially Acquired Passive immunity

immunity transferred from the mother through the placenta or breastmilk

Naturally Acquired Passive Transport

interstitial fluid not reabsorbed at capillaries




returns via vessels at R & L subclavian veins

Lymphatic Fluid

-pluripotent stem cells give rise to immature T cells and mature B cells.




-Tcells mature here




-located along lymphatic vessels


around 600 bean shaped


superficial and deep/groups/filter and trap antigens




-egg shaped masses MALT




-oval largest mass of lymph tissue


white and red pulp

Red bone marrow


Thymus


Lymph Nodes


Nodules


Spleen

inactive enzymes

pro-enzymes

substance synthesized in the liver

vitamin K

initiated by tissue and/or vessel injury

extrinsic pathway

damaged tissues of the vessel wall release _________.


Triggers a cascade of events

TF or clotting factor 2

initiated by substances within the blood.


Damage platelets activate clotting factor 2

intrinsic pathway

Prothrombinase + Ca++ catalyzes conversion of CF 2 an inactive enzyme into an active enzyme.




Thrombin + Ca++ catalyzes the conversion of fibrinogen into fibrin.

Common Pathway

Lasts 30-60 mins


stabilizes clot to be repaired


contractile proteins in platelet shortens


pulls edges of injury site together

Clot Retractions

Plasminogen converts to plasmin which breaks down fibrin in blood clots


IV Strepkinase, T-PA injections

Clot Dissolution

platelet count below 100,000/ml

thrombocytopenia

abnormal clotting in a closed vessel

throbosis

process of breathing

ventilation

3 processes:


Ventilation


External Respiration


Internal Respiration

Respiration

Blood ph


blood pressure


sounds production


olfaction


thoracic pump promotion

Functions of Respiratory System

begins with nasal cavity and ends with terminal bronchioles in the lungs

conducting system

Nasopharynx


Oropharynx


laryngealpharanyx

3 Regions of Pharanyx

composed of hyaline cartilage, house the vocal chords, protected by epiglottis.

Larynx

5 inches in length, composed of C shaped hyaline cartilage and smooth muscle. Lined with psuedostratified ciliated columnar interspersed with goblet cells


contains cilia that beat rythmically upward

trachea

site of bifurcation of trachea into r & l bronchi

carina

begins with respiratory bronchioles then aveolar ducts and then alveoli

Respiratory portion

epithelium of alveolar ducts and alveoli

respiratory membrane

simple squamous that compose alveolar epithelium

Type 1 Alveolar cells

septal cells: secrete surfactant over a thin layer of water

Type 11 Alveolar cells

cohesion of water molecules

surface tension

contraction and relaxation of muscles of inspiration

muscle mechanics

volume of thoracic cavity increases and decreases as a result of contraction and relaxation of the inspiratory muscles

Volume change

flows into and out of the lungs, down pressure gradients when volume changes

air movement
