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.

  • Lysozyme
  • Peroxidase Enzymes
  • Lactoferrin
  • Defensins
Are classified as______

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

  • B Cells
  • T Cells
  • Natural Killers Cells (NK)

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.

  1. phagosome maturation and phagolysosome formation
  2. recognition
  3. exocytosis
  4. engulfment
  5. Chemotaxis
  6. destruction and digestion
  7. attachment
Identify the Process and Correct the Order.....

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.
