What are the four basic ways the immune system has to destroy or remove a foreign invader |
1. Phagocytosis 2. Lysis of invaders membrane 3. Inactivation of invader 4. Clumping or agglutination of cells |
|
What is It called when the body goes to far in trying to protect the body |
Anaphylaxis |
|
What kind of disease is anaphylaxis classified as? |
An immune mediated disease |
|
What 6 things are included in non-specific immunity |
1. Skin and mucous membranes 2. Inflammation 3. Phagocytosis 4. NK cells 5. Interferon 6. Complement |
|
What is inflammation for |
To draw phagocytes to an area |
|
What are natural killer cells |
Lymphocytes that don't need a specific antigen to react to a foreign cell. They must come in direct contact to work |
|
What is interferon |
A protein produced by an infected cell. It prevents development and spread of the virus |
|
What is complement |
A group of inactive enzymes that can become active to rupture the cell membrane of an invader |
|
What is non-specific immunity |
A rapid, immediate response that does not react to specific antigens |
|
What is specific immunity |
The body recognizes a foreign invader by the antigen present on its cell membrane |
|
What at the two primary types of specific immunity? |
Cell-mediated and humoral immunity |
|
What do both types of specific immunity create that allows them to remember an antigen |
Memory cells |
|
What is cell mediated immunity |
Immune response carried out by t-Lymphocytes and a few other cells |
|
Where do t lymphocytes develop |
In the thymus |
|
After development of t lymphocyte is complete where does it migrate |
To lymph nodes and the spleen via blood |
|
During cell mediated immunity, happens to foreign cells (5) |
1. It is enveloped by a macrophage 2. The macrophage has the antigen of that cell on its outer membrane 3. A t cell attached and makes clones of itself 4. The clones travel to the original site of penetration to ward off other cells trying to enter 5. The clones develop into cytotoxic t cells, helper t cells, and suppressor t cells |
|
What are cytotoxic t cells |
Killer cells. They destroy by lysing foreign cells |
|
What at helper t cells |
Secrete various types of cytokines to affected tissue |
|
What do cytokines do |
Draw other lymphocytes and macrophages to an area |
|
What are suppressor t cells |
Suppress the function of other lymphocytes to keep the immune response in check |
|
What is humoral immunity |
Immunity carried out by B lymphocytes |
|
Where are B lymphocytes processed |
In the bone marrow or GALT |
|
What activates B cells |
When it attaches to an antigen it becomes activated |
|
What are five steps of humoral immunity |
1. B cell attaches to an antigen and replicates itself many times 2. These clones turn into plasma cells and produce the antibody contained by the original B cell 3. These antibodies secrete directly into plasma, attach to the specific antigen and destroy in 1 of three ways |
|
What are the three ways an antibody can destroy an antigen during humoral immunity |
1. Harmful antigens is transformed into harmless substance 2. Antigens are agglutinated and consumed by macrophages 3. Antibody activates the complement system to allow plasma protein enzymes to rupture the cells |
|
What are antobodies also known as |
Immunoglobulins |
|
What are the five types of amtobodies |
1. IgG 2. IgM 3. IgA 4. IgE 5. IgD |
|
What is IgG |
Antibody made after the first exposure to an antigen. First antibody produced by newborns |
|
What is IgM |
Produced when an animals is first exposed or for the second time. It develops rapidly |
|
What is IgA |
Can leave blood and enter tissues. Critical to mucosal areas |
|
What is IgE |
Associated with allergic response |
|
What is IgD |
No known function |
|
What is passive immunity |
Obtained from a mothers colostrum. Colostrum is loaded with antibodies. Has No memory cells |
|
What Is active immunity |
Involves being exposed to an antigen and then producing antibodies and memory cells. |
|
What is the main function of the respiratory system |
To exchange carbon dioxide for oxygen |
|
What are the two types of respiration |
External and internal |
|
Where does external respiration take place and what does it do |
In the lungs. Responsible for gas exchange with blood |
|
Where does internal respiration take place and what does it do |
The capillaries and tissues. Exchanges oxygen for carbon dioxide |
|
Aside from respiration. What are four things the respiratory system does |
1. Produces vocalizations 2. Regulates body temp 3. Regulates acid-base balance 4. Assists in smell |
|
What's another name for voice production |
Phonation |
|
What does the upper respiratory tract consist of |
The nose,pharynx,larynx, and trachea |
|
What are nasal turbines |
Thin fragile bone covered in nasal epithelium that help trap debris |
|
What performing nasogastric intubation, where is the tube introduced |
Into the ventral meatus and then into the stomach |
|
What epithelium covers the nasal passages |
Pseudostratified ciliated columnar and many goblet cells |
|
What are the three functions of the nasal passages |
To warm, humidify, and filter air as it comes in |
|
How is air warmed by the nasal passages |
It's warmed as It passes over blood vessels |
|
What is air traveling through the nasal passages humidified by |
Mucus |
|
What are paranasal sinuses |
Extensions of the nasal passage |
|
Most animals have two sinuses on each side of their skull. What are these called |
The maxillary and frontal |
|
What are guttural pouches and where are they located |
Dilation of an equines eustichian tubes. Located above the pharynx and larynx |
|
What is the purpose of guttural pouches |
Lower blood temp as it trAvels to the brain |
|
What runs superficially under the guttural pouches |
Cranial nerves and internal and externAl carotid arteries |
|
