Innate
born with; have automatically
Acquired
have to develop; not born with
Immunology
encompasses the study of all features of the body's 2nd and 3rd lines of defenses
First Line of Defense
any barrier that blocks invasion at the portal of entry
Second Line of Defense
more internalized system of prectective cells and fluids
Second Line of Defense
inflammation and phagocytosis
Physical Barriers
skin, eyelashes, tears, blinking, ciliary in lungs, urination saliva
Chemical Barriers
bile acids, pH of stomach, pH of vagina
Chemical Barriers
tears break down peptidoglycan layer
Genetic Barriers
sickle cell anemia can't get melaria
Immunology
the study of the ability of the white blood cells to resist infection
Immunology
the ability of the wbcs to recognize non-self (foreign cells)
RES, Blood, Lymphatic System, Organs
help wbcs to get where they need to be
RES
run between every cell and every organ in the body
RES
where extracellular system flows
RES
where white cells can travel
Lymphatic System
bring excess fluid back to the heart
Lymphatic System
CARRY wbs around the body
Carriers
have bacteria but not exhibiting symptoms
WBSs
always on watch for foreign materials
Neutrophils
leukocyte, lobed nuclei, lavender granules; released from the bone marrow
Basophils
pale stained, leukocyte, 0.5% of total WBC, mast cells
Eosinophils
numerous in the bone marrow and the spleen; prominent in inflammation and allergic reactions
Monocytes
largest of all wbc; discharged from bone marrow, small version of macrophage, mature mast cell
Lymphocytes
3rd line of defense
Macrophage
largest wbc; clean up crew
Dendritic Cells
move from the blood to RES and lymphatic tissues where they trap pathogens; migrate in lymph nodes and the spleen
PAMP
microorganism's surface patters
WBCs
neutrophils, dendritic cells, macrophages
Chemical Mediators
released when wbcs bind to microorganisms
Chemical Mediators
cause the body to go into action
4 processes in 2nd line of Defense
inflammation, injury, vascular reations, then edema and pus formation
Inflammation
a reaction to injury from a bacterial infection
Phagocytosis
partner to inflammation from a bacterial infection
Interferons
immune stimulants; VIRAL INFECTION
Interferons
stop other cells from producing more viruses
Interferons
can be given to patients to suppress tumor cells
Complement
backup system; punch holes in the microorganism's membrane, so the cytoplasm leaks out
Thymus
without - babies are severly immunodeficient and fail to thrive
Primary Organs
thymus and bone marrow
Primary organs
the sites of origin and maturation of lymphocytes
2ndary Organs
lymph nodes and spleen, malt, salt, galt; based locations where encounters with microbes and immune responses take place
PAMP
neutrophils, eosinophils, monocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells have _ receptors
MHCI Receptors
all but T-helper cells have _ receptors
MHCII Receptors
macrophages, dendritic, and Bcells have _ receptors
Tcell Receptors
T-cytotoxic and T-helper cells have _ receptors
CD4 receptors
T-helper cell only one to have _ receptors
Bcell receptor
B-cell only one to have _ receptor
CD8 receptor
T-cytotoxic cell only to have _ receptor
