Monocyte
Large phagocytic blood cell with one nucleus
Macrophage Large
white blood cell derived from monocyte, eats bacteria and other foreign mater
Mast cell
immune cell in tissues taht releases histamine to start a local inflamation
Eosinophil
a white blood cell that attacks parasites
Neutrophil
the most abundent white blood cell , responds to infection and engulfs bacteria
Basophil
its a white blood cell that releases histamine
Phagocytosis -
phagocyte runs to the bacteria, then wraps it with a membrane then create
Complement protein
proteins in blood that complememnt aka inhance or destroy bacteria like antibodies
Histamine
substance produced by immune cells that causes cappilaries to open up
location of lymph system points
Spleen, chest, neck, abdomen and pelvis
Inflamatory response to injury
1.Damaged cells and mast cells in the area release histamine
and other substances
2.Complement proteins from plasma diffuse out of leaky capillaries.
3.Phagocytes squeeze through capillary walls, attack and engulf bacteria and debris.
Third line of defense
The Immune response
characteristics of the immune response
Recognizes foreign bacterium and pathogens, has a memory
Antigen
any substance that triggers an immune response
Phagocytosis
1.Wastes and debris are
discarded.
2.Phagocyte surrounds
bacterium.
3.Bacterium becomes
enclosed in vesicle.
4.Vesicle fuses with lysosomes
5.Lysosomal enzymes
digest bacterium.
6.Wastes and debris are
discarded.
MHC
Major Histocompatibility Complex proteins
Self-antigens that are on human cell surfaces enabling recognition of “self”

Enable immune system to distinguish “self” from “nonself”
B lymphocytes
already in the body and respond to foreign substances in the blood
they stay in the bone marrow and can travel through the cardiovascular system
T lymphocytes
Cell-mediated immunity
they migrate to the and mature in the
coordinate the immuse response
active against parasityes and virus
both have orginated by stem cells
When B cells activated, they divide into two cell types
Memory cells – store information for future immune responses

Plasma cells – actively secrete antibodies that bind to antigen
T cells
Originate from stem cells in the bone marrow
Mature in Thymus gland
Types of T cells
Helper T cells and Memory T cells

Cytotoxic T cells and Suppressor T cells
APCs include
Macrophages
B cells
pericardium is
the membrane sap that fills with fluid around the heart providing lubrication so the heart doesnt rub against other organs
Artery
is a blood vessel that carries away from the heart
viens
carry blood to the heart
Arteole
is a small artery
a venule is
a small vien
Cappulery is
the smallest blood vessles in the body thats where the body exchanges gasses and food stuffs and where the cells are working
A sphincter is
a ring like muscle that can lock down to prevent backflow of the blood
after going thru the sphincter the blood goes through the capularies and then heads to the viens
White blood cells called
leukcyes
Red blood cells
erythocytes, when they go thru the cappulary they are squeezed then pop out in a ring
Platlets form clots to prevent bleeding
Coronary arteries and caronary viens
very fine that go from the aorta that provide the heart oxygen itself
cardiac cycle-
diastolye
ventrical systole
when the heart retracts

a lub is the closing of the valves during the systole
a dub is the closing of semi lunar valves during diastole

SA refering to Syno atrial nov
Cardiac pacemaker

sys relax
dys retract
Four primary tissues
Epithelia
Connective tissues
Muscle
Nervous
Epithelial Tissues
Line body cavities and cover surfaces
Glandular epithelia
Epithelial cells adapted to make up glands
Exocrine glands
Secrete into ducts to exterior of body
Endocrine glands
Secrete into the blood to carry chemical messages throughout the body
Shape
Squamous

Epithelial
Flattened cells
Line vessels, part of lungs, body surface
Cuboidal

Epithelial
Cube shaped
Form lining of tubules, glandular tissue
Columnar

Epithelial
Column shaped
Line respiratory, digestive, reproductive tracts
Number of layers
Simple/single–layered epithelial
Adapted for diffusion across cell barriers
Line glands, and respiratory, digestive, reproductive systems
Stratified/multiple–layered
Provide protection, as in the skin surface
