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 |
