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
MAGDElaine (a girl's name):· Magdelaine tells you the order they usually appear
M first, then A or G. as well as that IgM isIMmediate. M stays w/ mother, G goes w/ baby so it's the greatest %.
IgG
80% of circulating Ig's and responsible for most of the actions.
IgA
secretory Ig's in tears, sweat, oils, saliva
IgM
antibodies of the initial response to the antigen-1st exposure to a foreign material U make these
IgE
the communicator to the inflammatory reaction. They cause inflammation, allergic response, parasite infections.
IgD
probably causes lymphocyte reproduction to speed up when U R exposed to antigen
cell mediated immunity is the result/action of the which B or T-cells?
T-Cells (lymphocytes)
The actions are related to T-Cell subtypes. 1) Cytotoxic T-Cell (Tc cells). which do what? 1A: Natural killer T cells are similar to Tc cells but lack antigen receptors. 2) Delayed Hypersensitivity Reaction (Td cells) which do what? 3)T-helper cells (Th) do what? 4) Ts cell-Suppressor T-cells do what?
1)Tc/killer T-cells -release toxic chemicals to destroy tumor or virus infected cells. 2) cell comes into contact w/the antigen and does 2 things: stims inflammation and activates macrophages, 24-72 hrs hence delayed. 3) Helper T-facilitate both humeral and cell-mediated immunity. Needed to have normal action of T and B lymphocytes. 4) They suppress immune reactions: they keep immune reactions from over doing it.
HIV attaches to cell, inserts itself into RNA, and then makes more of the virus. The HIV it joins w/ helper T lymphocytes and destroys the Th cells, eventually
they don't have enough Th cells and develop AIDS.

increased blood flow
