_________ are active in worm and fungal infections, allergy, and inflammatory reactions.
Eosinophils (ew!)
_______ fuction in inflammatory events and allergies.
Basophils (think Basal blowing his nose and gasping for breath)
_____ _____ are specialized tissue cells similar to basophils that trigger local inflammatory reactions and are responsible for many allergic symptoms.
Mast Cells
There are 2 catagories in resistance to infectious disease. They are:_______ immunity and ________ immunity.
Innate , adaptive
__________ immunity is a nonspecific resistance, protecting us against all patogens.
Innate immunity (think over the counter defenses- easy to get)
____________ immunity is a specific resistance, defending us against specific pathogens.
Adaptive immunity (think perscription defenses)
What is always present, immediately effective,with no immune memory(works at the same speed every time)?
Innate immunity
________ is triggered by tissue damage.
Inflammation
The 4 parts of inflammation are:
redness, warmth swelling and pain (think about what you feel/see whin you hit your thumb with a hammer)
The latin for these 4 parts of inflammation are:
rubor, calor, tumor, and dolor (RuCaTuDo)
You are injured by a nail and bacteria comes in; what are the first 2 things that happen?
Mast cells release chemical mediators and vasoconstriction happens in order to prevent the spread of bacteria.
After the vasoconstriction response to injury; the blood vessels _________ to allow ___________________.
dilate, plasma and neutrophils to seep out to injury site.
Plasma has____________ _______ to seal the wound.
clotting factors
After the site of infection is sealed; _______ and _______ _______occurs.
edema, pus formation
What causes edema durring injury repair?
the Neutrophils are eating the bacteria (phagocytosis by neutrophils)
What causes pus formation durring injury repair?
byproduct of bacteria
What else has happened while the neutrophils are eating and the bacteria are forming pus?
A fibrous exudate (layer made up of serum)
What 3 things happen after inflammation repair?
a scar is formed, macrophages come in and Lymphocytes come in(the BIG GUYS)
______________ and __________ engulf and dispose of pus, cellular debri, dead neutrophils and damaged tissue.

By binding the pathogen.
Microbes with capsules are difficult to phagocytose. It is easier if the pathogen is coated with ________ or _____(____).
