Apoptosis |
Programmed death of "self" cells that does not cause inflammation |
|
Complement System |
Series of blood and tissue fluids that can be activated to help destroy and remove invading microbes. |
|
Innate Immunity |
Host defenses involving barriers, sensor systems that recogize patterns, phagocytic cells, and inlammatory response. |
|
Magrophage |
type of phagocytic cell that resides in the tissues and hs multiple roles including scavenging debris, and producing inflammatory cytokines. |
|
Membrane Attack Complex (MAC) |
Complement system components that assemble to form pores in membranes or invading cells. |
|
Opsonization |
coating an object with molecules for which phagocytes have receptors for, making it easier for phagocytosis to occur. |
|
Phagocyte |
A cell type that specializes in engulfing and digesting microbes and debris. |
|
Phagocytosis |
the process by which a phagocyte engulfs an invader. |
|
First-Line defenses |
prevent entry |
|
sensor systems |
detect invasion |
|
effector mechanisms |
destroy and remove the invader. |
|
Pattern Recognition Receptors |
Receptors on the surface of some cells that allows them to detect invaders and send a chemical signal to the hosts defense cells. |
|
The complement system is activated________ |
in response to certain invaders. |
|
The Inflammatory response involves______ |
many components of innate immunity, including Phagocytes. |
|
Physical Barriers |
The Skin is composed two main layers- the dermis and epidermis. Mucous membranes are constantly bathed with mucus/other secretions that help wash microbes from the surfaces. |
|
Antimicrobial Subtances |
Inhibit or kill microorganisms. |
|
|
Antimicrobial Substances |
|
Normal Microbiota (Flora) |
Members of the Normal Microbiota competitively exclude pathogens and stimulate the host defenses. |
|
Monocytes circulate______ |
in the blood |
|
Macrophages are in____ |
Tissues |
|
Dendritic cells |
develop from monocytes; some have other origins |
|
Types of Lymphocytes |
|
|
Lymphocytes are involved in what type of Immunity? |
Adaptive Immunity |
|
_______bind______, allowing the cell to detect substances. |
Surface receptors bind Ligands |
|
________allow cells to adhere to other cells |
Adhesion Molecules |
|
Toll-Like receptors (TLRs) |
allow sentinel cells to detect extracellular molecules that signify the presence of microbes |
|
NOD-like receptors (NLRs) |
allow cells to detect internal invadors or cell damage |
|
RIG-like receptors (RLRs) |
allow cells to detect viral nuceic acid. Virally infected cells respond by making interferons, causing nearby cells to prepare to undergo apoptosis if they become infected. |
|
Complement system activation |
detects microbial cells and antibodies bound to antigens, and is activated in response |
|
Effector functions of the Complement system |
opsinization |
|
regulation of the complement system |
complement regulatory proteins prevent host cell surfaces from activating the complement system via the alternative pathway. |
|
|
Phagocytosis 5,2,7,4,1,6,3 |
|
_____is the bodies attempt to contain a site of damage, localize the response, eliminate the invader and restore tissue function. |
Inflammation |
|
Factors that trigger an Inflammatory response |
Initiated when microbes are detected by TLRs, NLRs, or the complement system, or when tissue damage occurs. |
|
Inflammatory process |
results in dialation of small blood vessels, leakage of fluids from those vessels, and movement of leukocytes from the bloodstream into the tissues |
|
_______Inflammation is marked by the prevelence of neutrophils |
Acute |
|
_____Inflammation is characterized by macrophage and giant cell accumulation, and granuloma formation. |
Chronic |
|
Lysozyme does which of the following.. A) Disrupts cell membranes B) Hydrolyzes peptidoglycan C) Waterproofs skin D) Propels gastrointestinal contents E) Propels the cilia of the respiratory tract |
B) Hydrolyzes peptidoglycan |
|
The Hematopoietic stem cell in the bone marrow can become which of the following cells... A) Red Blood cells B) T Cells C) B Cells D) Monocyte E) Macrophage |
A,B,C,D,E, all are correct |
|
TLRs are triggered by all of the following except A) peptidoglycan B) glycolysis enzymes C) lipopolysaccharide D) flagellin E) certain nucleotide sequences |
B) Glycolysis Enzymes |
|
The Direct/Immediate action of interferon on a cell is to... |
Stimulate the synthesis of inactive "suicide enzymes" |
