Body defense 2 types:
|
1)immunity 2) inflammation.
|
|
Immunity is capably of 2 things:
|
1) recognition of foreign material meaning anything that is out of place is the ability to interact with it and 2) phagocytosis- ingesting and removing the material
|
|
phagocytes are called ______in the tissue and are called ______in the blood. Neutrophils are also phagocytes. Microglia -In the neural tissue
|
macrophages, monocytes
|
|
Immune system cells are all products of lymphoid tissue. lymphoid tissue is in the following places
|
1) nodes 2) lining of respiratory and digestive tract 3) tonsils 4) spleen 5) marrow channels of the bone.
|
|
Lymph nodules are clusters of _______
|
lymphocytes-the white creamy stuff on tonsils is white blood cells or lymphoid tissue.
|
|
there are two kinds of lymphocytes (in a reg. Microscope they look the same)
|
1)B-lymphocytes and 2)T-lymphocytes
|
|
antigen is a molecule that allows recognition of ______material 2 characteristics 1- has to be a molecule not encountered by the immune system in embryonic develop 2- they are large molecules( have a high molecular weight) so it's usually a protein largeness is related to Uniqueness. Why would they be large?
|
Foreign, we tend to have small molecules in common w/each other but the larger they are the more unique.
|
|
B-lymphocytes produced a humeral response meaning what?whereas T-cells which is cell mediated meaning what?
|
B: it's something in the all body fluids T: they needed an actual cell to produce the reaction not just the fluid.
|
|
if a person gets a transplant they need immunosuppressants for ______
|
rest of life. Immunosup walk a fine line: enough to accept transplant but not too much so you can fight off other illnesses.
|
|
When a B cell encounters an antigen it 1) gets_____ (or activated B cell) aka: plasma cell. [the difference from a small B cell and a large a B cell is lots of rough endoplasmic reticulum w/ ribosomes which secrete proteins] 2)produces ______ cells so that it will remember that antigen.
|
Enlarged, memory or Ig
|
|
the protein that is produced as a result of antigen exposure is an_______. Specific Ig's are called_______.
|
Immunoglobulin (Ig) antibodies
|
|
immunoglobulin (Ig) specific Ig is called?
|
antibodies
|
|
the structure of Ig is Y shaped. It is a _____protein
|
glycoprotein
|
|
the top tips of the Y are the _______sites aka: variable sites. (this is the part that recognizes and interacts w/the antigen) like Lock and key. Both sites recognize the same antigen. The base of the Y is______ and interacts w/ other physiologic systems.
|
Recognition, constant
|
|
If we are exposed to an antigen the plasma cell that comes into contact w/ that antigen is going to release these into the ECF, so it's in the body fluids or _____
|
humors.
|
|
what are the (re-)actions we get as a result of having these antibodies. 1- direct actions result of formation of immune complexes aka antigen/antibody complex (lock/key combo). 3 subtypes. Name them
|
a) agglutination-clumps b) precipitation particles. How is this useful? If the particles settle then the Macrophages can get at it. c) neutralization of toxins
|
|
what is the problem w/direct action of antibodies?
|
we need as many antibodies as we have of antigens and that's not realistic, so it's weak and not so powerful.
|
|
Indirect actions of having antibodies-methods of amplifying the antibody so it's very powerful. 1-opsination -is what? 2-activates complement system-which means?3-activates inflammatory response.
|
1) 1-opsination- stims/enhances phagocytosis inducing a feeding frenzy so you only need a few antibodies to produce good results 2- complement system is a cascade of plasma proteins that produce defense responses
|
|
