humans have _____________ _____________ to certain pathogens as well as three overlapping lines of defense.

species resistance


the first two lines of defense compose __________ _____________, which is generally nospecific and protects the body against a wide variety of potential pathogens. A third line of defese is ___________ ______________, which is a specific response to a particular pathogen.


innate immunity








adaptive immunity



The first line of defense includes the skin, composed of an outer _______________ and a deeper _________. ___________ _________ of the epidermis devour pathogens. Sweat glands of the skin produce salty sweat containing the enxyme called ___________ and _____________ ____________ (defensis), which are small peptide chains that act against a broad range of pathogens. _________ is an oily substance of the skin that lower pH, deterring the growth of many pathogens.

epidermis


dermis


dendritic cells


lysozyme


antimicrobial peptides


sebum


the mucous membranes, another part of the body's first line of defense, are composed of tightly packed cells that are replaced frequently by _________ ________ division and often coated with sticky mucus secreted by goblet cells.

stem cell

_____________ ________________, the competition between ________ ______________ and potential pathogens, also contributes to the body's first line of defense.


microbial antagonism


normal microbiota



tears contain antibacterial lysozyme and also flush invaders from the eyes. Saliva similarly protects the teeth. The low pH of the stomach inhibits most microbes that are swallowed.


the second line of defense includes cells (especially ____________), antimicrobial chemicals (toll-like receptors, NOD proteins, interferons, complement, lysozyme, and antimicrobial peptides), and processes (phagocytosis, inflammation, and FV).
phagocytes

The epidermis also contains phagocytic cells called __________ _______/ The Slender, fingerlike processes of _________ _________ extend among the surrounding cells, forming an almost continuous network to intercept invaders.

dendritic cells




dendritic cells


A pathogen can cause diease only if it can do what three things?


. Gain access by portal of entry




. attach itself to the host cells




. evade the body's defense mechanisms


______ line of defense: external physical barriers to pathogens eg. Skin, mucous membranes.


First

________ line of defense: Internal- protective cells, bloodborne chemicals, processes that inactivate or kill invaders.

Second

First and Second- ________ _______- present at birth and work on wide variety of pathogens- Protozoa, parasitic worms, fungi, bacteria, viruses

Innate immunity


Third line of defense: ______ ________- responds against unique species and strains of pathogens and alters the body defenses.

adaptive immunity

responds against unique species and strains of pathogens and alters the body defenses.

third line of defense




adaptive immunity


present at birth and work on wide variety of pathogens- Protozoa, parasitic worms, fungi, bacteria, viruses

2nd and 3rd line of defense




innate immunity


external physical barriers to pathogens eg. Skin, mucous membranes.

1st line of defense




innate immunity


Internal- protective cells, bloodborne chemicals, processes that inactivate or kill invaders non specifically


2nd line of defense




innate immunity


epidermal __________ _______ phagocytize pathogens

Dendritic cells

Chemicals secreted in perspiration that defend against pathogens?




-______- inhibits growth of pathogens




-______________ ___________ (defensins)- Dermicidins - broad spectrum




-__________- destroys cell wall of bacteria




-Salt- inhibits growth of pathogens.




-Antimicrobial peptides (defensins)- Dermicidins - broad spectrum




-lysozyme- destroys cell wall of bacteria


_________ secreted by oi glands,


lower skin pH to a level (pH___) inhibitory to many bacteria.


Sebum


pH5


_________ ___________ line all body cavities open to environment.

mucous membranes

Mucus secreting ______ _______, secrete antimicrobial peptides (________), nasal mucus contains ________.

goblet cells




defensins


lysozyme


The lacrimal apparatus; a group of structures that produce and drain tears, blinkin spreads tears and _________ surface of the eye, _________ in tears destroys bacteria.


washes


Lysozyme


Vitamin B5, folic acid, precursor of vitamin K are provided by the ________ _________.

normal microbiota

activities of _______ _________ make it hard for pathogens to compete.




normal microbiota


Animals raised in an _______ environment (free of all other organisms and viruses) are slower to defend themselves when exposed to a _________.

axenic







pathogen


__________ _________, present in skin, mucous membranes, and neutrophils; are triggered by sugar or protein molecules of the pathogens.



Antimicrobial peptides

_________ __________, work in several ways (punch holes in cytoplasmic membranes, interrupt internal signaling or enzymatic action, and __________ factors that recruit leucocytes).


antimicrobial peptides








chemotactic factors



the _________/________ _________ line of defense operates when the pathogens penetrate the skn or mucous membranes.

second/innate immunity

_________ line of defense, composed of


-phagocytes


-antimicrobial chemicals


.peptides


.complement


.interferons


-fever


-Inflammation


second

_______- mostly water containing electrolytes, dissolved gases, nutrient, and proteins.




_______- is the fluid remaining when Clotting factors are removed from plasma.


plasma










serum


________-, incules iron- binding proteins transferrin, ferritin, siderophores, actoferrin, hemolysin), complement proteins and antibodies.

Serum

-erythrocytes


-platelets


-leukocytes
