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

What is the pharynx

The common passageway for the respiratory and digestive tracts

At the rostral portion of the pharynx, the soft palate divides it into what

The dorsal nasopharynx and the ventral nasopharynx

What is the larynx

A short, irregular tube that connects the pharynx with the trachea
