|
one of the major body systems and protects the internal environment against invading MO |
immune system |
|
|
proteins, that are produced by immune system and will bind form mos and inactivate them |
antibodies |
|
|
foreign MO that indicate the production of antibodies |
antigens |
|
|
ability to resist disease |
immunity |
|
|
its present at birth |
inherited immunity |
|
|
that develops over life time |
acquired immunity |
|
|
previously had disease, recovered and cannot get again |
naturally acquired |
|
|
vaccines |
artificially acquired |
|
|
if its intact |
skin |
|
|
sticky and traps MOs, flushes MO away |
mucus membrane |
|
|
shedding of cells, skin |
desquamation |
|
|
prevent the transfer of MO to other body parts |
inflammation |
|
|
will engulf MO, and digest them |
phagocytic cells |
|
|
found in stomach, either inhibits or kills MO |
hydrochloric acid |
|
|
antimicrobial (kills microbes) found in tears saliva and nasal secretions
|
lysozyme |
|
|
activated anytime an antigen enters the body, starts an infection, the body will produce antibodies |
immune responses (third line) |
|
|
they previously had the disease |
natural |
|
|
put something into your body (vaccine) |
artificial |
|
|
when you had disease and produce antibodies |
natural active |
|
|
when you get antibodies through mother |
natural passive |
|
|
when you get vaccines, causing body to produce antibodies |
artificial active |
|
|
when immunity occurs because you were administered an antiserum (snake bites, ebola) |
artificial passive |
|
|
what are the bodys three lines of defenses |
physical chemical immune |
|
|
give example of each of the 3 lines of defense |
physical-skin chemical- hydrochloric acid immunity- produce antibodies |
|
|
if a pathogen gets past the first line of defense and into your digestive tract, why is it unlikely to survive |
hydrochloric acid |
|
|
what is the relationship between antibodies and antigens |
antibodies form in response to antigens |
|
|
how can a fever be helpful in preventing disease |
signal to the body to form antibodies |
|
|
another body's response to MO that will result in increased blood flow, release of chemical, that pull up white blood cells, monocytes that clean up |
inflammatory process |
