HIV

Cells of the immune system constantly move about the body searching for potential pathogen. These cells have been trained to recognize body cells so called self and differentiate them from any Foreign material in the body such as an invading bacterial cell nonself

White blood cells

The immune system evaluates cells by examining certain molecules on the surface called?

Markers Which generally consist of proteins and or sugars

The loss of the ability to identify body self and distinguish self from nonself is the result

The result of an auto immune disease

Nonself cells are recognized by

PRRr’s (pathogen recognition receptors on phagocytes

Pathogen recognition receptors (PRR) on the self cell (phagocyte) identify the non self cells

Pathogenic associated molecular pattern also know as PAMP

A network of fibers that connect cells with each other within a tissue or organ and provide the support system for phagocytic white blood cells

The reticuloendothelial system also known as the mono nuclear phagocytic system

Communication of the immune system also includes the cardiovascular system and lymphatic system because

The close association allows cells and chemicals that originate in the reticular system to diffuse or migrate into the blood (such as the heart arteries veins and caplllaries that circulate blood)


And lymphatic system.

What is the lymphatic systems function

Return tissue fluid to circulation Carry away excess fluid in inflame tissues and issues the third line of defense for the specific immune response

Circulates throughout the lymphatic system and is similar to blood except that there are no red blood cells

Lymph

Thin walled vessels that are located parallel to the blood vessels

Lymphatic vessels

In what direction does the lymph flow

The flow of the lymph is in One Direction from the extremities to the heart and is return to the bloodstream at the subclavian vein near the heart

How is lymph push through the body

Unlike the blood which is pumped by the heart lymph is push through the body by the contraction of skeletal muscles which can result in swelling of the hands and feet during the night actually factor extending life

What are the lymph organs and tissues

Lymph nodes ,spleen ,thymus (the thymus shrinks in size during adulthood)

There are four specialize collections of lymphoid tissue’s

White blood cells

Leukocytes

Platelets

Thrombocytes a.k.a. platelets

Develop from stem cells in the bone marrow and loser nucleus prior to entering circulation becoming by concave fact of hemoglobin that transport oxygen and carbon dioxide

Erythrocytes a.k.a. red blood cells

Involved in blood clotting and inflammation (they are not whole cells)

Thrombocytes a.k.a. platelets

The order of normal occurrence in the Blood. Never let monkeys eat bananas

Neutrophil


Lymphocytes


Monocytes


Eosinphils


Basophils

Never let monkeys eat bananas


Means

Neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, Basophills

Have visible granules When stained

Neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils

NEB

Have granules that don’t stain

Lymphocytes ,monocytes

Damage cells release chemicals that attract neutrophils highly phagocytic and can leave the blood enter infected tissue and destroy bacteria

Neutrophils

In the skin they are also known as Langerhan cells also found in the inner lining of the nose long stomach and intestines

Active against helminth fungi and Protozoa , weekly phagocytic also increase in response to respond to inflammatory responses and allergen

Eosinphils

Associated with inflammatory an allergen responses release histamine

Basophils

Are similar to basophils and release histamine but are bound to connective tissue around blood vessels nerves and epithelia and are non motile;contain granules rich in histamine and heparin trigger inflamatory reactions are responsible for allergy symptoms

Mast cells

Leave the blood and mature into macro phages which are entirely phagocytic in function.

Monocytes

Responsible for lymph node swelling

Increase in maturation of macrophages and an increase of lymphocytes

Part of the third line of defense occur in the lymph tissue and circulate in blood not phagocytic

Lymphocytes

Derive from monocytes; antigen presenting cells ingestion of bacteria and viruses stimulate migration to lymphoid tissue where they interact with T cells and B cells

Dendritic cells

Cell mediated immunity. They increase in viral infections there are different types

T cells

Assist other T cells and B cells

TH :helper T cells

Kill foreign cells my lysis

Tc: Cytotoxic T cells

Control specific immune response and prevent


auto immunity

TR : Regulatory T cells

Related to T cells but lack antigen specificity. Attack cancer cells and virus infected B cells and any sick cells

Natural killer ( NK)

Humoral immunity produce anti-bodies jolly bodies they can also act as antigen presenting cells

B cells

Second line of the defense inflammation


Caused by increased circulation and vasodilation in the injured tissues

Rubor -redness

Second line of the defense inflammation


Given off by the increase flow of blood

Calor -heat

Second line of the defense inflammation


Swelling from the increased fluid escaping into the tissues

tumor

Second line of the defense inflammation


Pain caused by the stimulation of the nerve endings

Dolor -pain

Helps prevent the loss of blood and the release of chemical mediators and Chemokins by blood cells,tissue cells ,and platelets.


chemokins mark the infection attracting phagocytes

Vasoconstriction

Integrins on the surfaces of neutrophils attach to selectins on activated endothelial cells

Margination

Vasodilation

Phagocyte migration phagocyte stick to endothelium and then squeeze between endothelial cells

Diapedisis/ extravasatiin

From the fluid leakage increase in phagocyte an accumulation of pus and mixture of dead cells

Edema ( swelling)

Certain coccal bacteria strongly attract neutrophils and are called

Pyogenic or pus forming bacteria

Caused by nerve damage, toxins or the pressure of edema

Pain

Limit spread for microbes or toxins

Blood clots

Are highly phagocytic and high blood counts of this cell are indicative of bacterial infection

Neutrophil

Move to cite invaded by eukaryotic pathogen’s and our weekly phagocytic

Eosinphils

Are entirely phagocytic and nonspecific in their attack on pathogen’s

Macrophages

Binding of the PAMP by PRR initiate

And immune response

Binding of the PAMP by PRR initiate

And immune response

A systemic response.Most frequent cause is bacteria, bacterial toxins and viruses

Fever

The bodies thermostat affected by certain pyrogenic fever producing substances released in response to pathogens


Hypothalmus

What is Exogenus


what is Endogenous

Exogenous coming from outside the body


Endogenous coming from within the body

Associated with infectious agents such as the LPS layer of gram-negative bacteria and endotoxin

Exogenous pyrogens

Produced by what white blood cells during phagocytosis as part of the immune response

Endogenous pyrogens -

What are the benefits of high body temperature

Inhibits multiplication of temperature sensitive pathogen’s decreases the amount of available iron to bacteria increases the rate of metabolism and stimulates the new response associated with antiviral response such as T cells and interferon

What are some complications of fever

Tachycardia ,metabolic acidosis, dehydration ,seizures, death result if body temperature increases above 44- 46°C or 112 214°F

Slight to moderate fever maybe allowed up to

102°F with the exception of newborn to three months at 100.4 Fahrenheit

How can you treat a fever

Antipyretic drugs such as acetaminophen (Tylenol),and NSAID known as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs ibuprofen (Advil) naproxen (Aleve) and aspirin and tepid Luke warm baths

There are three types of interferon that inhibit the expression of cancer gene all are produced in response to viruses RNA immune products and various antigens

Alpha beta and gamma interferon

Interferon produced by virus-infected Host cells in very small quantities and diffuse to uninfected neighboring cells were they React with membrane receptors and Cause the unaffected Cell To make mRNA for the synthesis of antiviral proteins

Alpha interferon and beta interferon

What problem arises when using interferons to control disease

Effective for only a short periods do not remain stable in the body. Side effects when injected include flu like symptoms, they are not effective for some viral infections

Alpha IFN is used for what disease

Karposi sarcoma, melanoma, herpes viruses, and hepatitis b and c

Beta iFN is used in

Slowing the progression of MS multiple sclerosis

What is the complement system

A defensive set of over 30 proteins produced by the liver and found in the blood genetic deficiency can cause genetic disease

Proteins of the complement system act together to cause

Cytolysis this is when proteins bind together to form a cylinder shaped membrane attack complex which inserts itself through the pathogen membrane.


gram-negative cells are more susceptible to MAC because of the presence of an outer membrane and thin cell wall

Host cell membranes contain proteins that protect them from this action

Coating antigen with complement enhances Phagocytosis

Opsonization

Proteins that bind to iron and lessen iron availability for bacteria such as hemoglobin transferin lactoferrin are called

Iron binding proteins

How does bacteria scavenge for iron

By releasing siderophores (Iron binding molecules)
