Immunity

Front 1

Immunology

Back 1

a. the division of bacteria concerned with immunity
b. the study of the reaction of tissues of the immune system to antigenic stimulation

Front 2

Immunity

Back 2

the quality of being susceptible to or unaffected by a particular disease or condition

Front 3

Susceptible

Back 3

a. lacking immunity or resistance
b. being predisposed or sensitive to the effects of an infectious disease, allergen or other pathogenic agent

Front 4

Susceptible (c)

Back 4

the reverse of immunity and result of suppression of factors that cause immunity

Front 5

Antigen (immunogen)

Back 5

a substance that promotes the production of antibodies against itself and can react specifically with them. (any foreign matter entering the body is an antigen)

Front 6

Antibodies (immunoglobin)

Back 6

a glycoprotein in the body that destroys or inactivates certain foreign substances that gains access to the body particularly microbes and other products

Front 7

4 toxin/antitoxin reactions

Back 7

a. toxin/antitoxin
b. bacteria/cytolysin
c. bacteria/opsonins
d. virus/virus neutralizing antibody reaction

Front 8

toxin/antitoxin

Back 8

i. toxin enters the body
ii. antitoxin recognizes it and attaches to it
iii. neutralizes toxin and destroys it

Front 9

bacteria/cytolysin

Back 9

i. bacteria enters the body
ii.cytolysin recognizes it and attaches to it
iii. cytolysin destroys cell wall of bacteria

Front 10

bacteria/opsonins

Back 10

i. bacteria enters the body
ii. opsonins recognizes it and attachest to it
iii. opsonins presents it to wbc to phagocytize the bacterial cell

Front 11

virus/virus neutralizing antibody reaction

Back 11

i. a virus enters the body
ii. virus neutralizing antibody recognizes it and attaches to it
iii. by attaching to it, it prevents the virus from attaching the tissue of body so infection can't occur

Front 12

2 types of immunity

Back 12

natural immunity
acquired immunity

Front 13

natural immunity

Back 13

(natural heritage, innate immunity, genetic immunity)
immunity you are born with

Front 14

acquired immunity

Back 14

immunity that is acquired after birth

Front 15

4 types of acquired immunity

Back 15

1. naturally acquired passive immunity
2. naturally acquired active immunity
3. artificially acquired active immunity
4. artificially acquired passive immunity
