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. |
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.
|
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?
|
. 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
|
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 |
-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. |
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.
|
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
|
|
|
__________ _________, 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).
|
chemotactic factors |
|
|
the _________/________ _________ line of defense operates when the pathogens penetrate the skn or mucous membranes. |
