147 Cards in this Set

  • Front
  • Back

any substance capable of triggering immune response is called

antigen

shapes protruding from surface of antigen are called

epitopes

two pronged response to injury (2 phases)

vascular, cellular

vascular phase

increased blood flow and cap perm in area

cellular phase

WBC clean and deactivate

RBC aka

erythrocyte

platelet aka

thrombocyte

WBC aka

leukocyte

what stem cells make WBC and come from where

hemocytoblasts from bone marrow

the 4 different WBCs

monocyte, macrophage, lymphocyte, granulocyte

3 different granulocytes

neutrophils, basophils, eosinophils

leukocyte normal value

4,000-10,000

below 4,000 means

probably cannot fight infection

above 10,000 means

probably have bacterial infection

granulocytes life span

short

granulocytes key defenders in

acute infection and inflammation

what are the first cells to arrive

neutrophils

neutrophils are considered what line of defense

first

if high neutrophils, this means

really early infection

neutrophils increased during (4)

gout, RA, stress, cancer

neutrophils decreased during (2)

overwhelming infections, viral infections

shift to the left is never

a good thing

shift to the left means

bands are more elevated than segs

mature neutrophils are called

segmented neutrophils = segs

immature neutrophils are called

banded neutrophils = bands

shift to the left indicates

ongoing acute bacterial infection

eosinophils elevate with what 2 things

allergic reaction, parasites

eosinophils decreased with what (1)

steroids

mono/macro life span

3-4 times longer than granulocytes

mono/macro elevate same time as

neutrophils - just not as significantly

mono/macro increase as what ages

exudates

mono is circulating in blood then

develops into macrophage

macrophage means what

big eater

mono/macro considered what line of defense

second

what do you know if mono/macro elevated

longer term infection

define agranulocyte

less than 500 total WBC, absolute lack of or drop in WBC

agranulocyte common in

cancer, certain drugs

define neutropenia

less than 2,000 neutrophils

why is neutropenia a problem

cannot defend against acute infection

3 types of lymphocytes

B cells, T cells, natural killer cells

what cells have memory, why is this important

B & T cells, they recognize past infections and can respond much faster

need what to make antibodies

B cells

every mature T cell carries what

a marker - making them recognizable

3 immune responses

humoral, cell mediated, interaction of both

humoral response deals with

B cells, and antibodies

humoral aka

immunoglobulin-mediated immunity

immunoglobulin class example

a little protection while waiting to figure out results of person got needle stuck from

each B cell makes how many antibodies

one specific antibody

antibodies belong to what

large molecules known as immnunoglobulins

immunoglobulin for allergic reactions

IgE

IgE stimulates what (2)

histamine, heparin

cell-mediated response

antigens that do not evoke the antibodies

cell-mediated response involves what cell

T cell

cell-mediated response does what to target cells

destroys

cell-mediated response example

reject transplant organ

2 types of T cells

regulatory, cytotoxic

2 types of regulatory T cells

helper, suppressor

B cells need what to make antibody

T cell's help

helper T cells do what

activate B T NK cells

suppressor cells do what

turn off the function of other cells

cytotoxic cells do what

directly attack infected or malignant cells

NK cells contain what

granules with potent chemicals

T cells work primarily by

secreting lymphokines

lymphocyte primary function

fight chronic bacterial and acute viral infections

primary response

occurs when antigen is produced

secondary response

memory response

define allergy

harmless substance perceived as threat and attacked

allergic reactions related to what antibody

IgE

how IgE reacts

IgE on mast cells > encounters specific antigen > mast cells release chemicals in granules

chemicals in granules include ()

histamine, heparin, substances activating platelets, substances attracting eosinophils/neutrophils

allergy inc sensory nerves results in

itching, pain

allergy vasodilation results in

warmth, flushed, dec BP

allergy bronchoconstriction results in

sneezing, wheezing

allergy in cap perm results in

edema

worry about what for anaphylactic shock

airway

allergic people thought to produce

higher concentrations of IgE

look for what for allergy tests

wheal and flare

why avoid antihistamines prior to allergy test

it can prevent reaction that would normally occur naturally in person

what is danger of allergy testing

anaphylactic shock

what drug should be available when doing allergy tests

epinephrine

what is in allergy shot

little bit of diluted substance you are allergic to

how do allergy shots help

develop tolerance, trick immune system

2 reasons moms are nervous about allergy shots for little kids

lots of shots, scared will cause bad reaction

inflammation is what kind of response (2)

vascular, defensive

inflammation typically begins after

microorganism infiltration

tissue must be what for inflammatory response

must be alive and have functioning circulation

difference between inflammation and immune response

inflammation - injury


immune - circulation

inflammation tests often ordered for what Dx

RA

what substance causes inflammatory response

histamine

many mast cells cause what and how

inflammation by degranulation and activating histamine

histamine increases what

blood flow of microcirculation

serotonin increases what

blood flow

bradykinin increases what

permeability

prostaglandins do what

increase vascular permeability and neutrophil chemotaxis

Gross features of acute inflammation

redness, warmth, pain, swelling, altered function

non gross feature of acute inflammation

fever

redness and warmth from what

substances causing vasodilation

what substances cause vasodilation

prostaglandins, histamine, bradykinin, serotonin

pain from what substances

bradykinin and prostaglandin

swelling from

more blood flow and permeability

suppuration

splinter reaction with blood in center, good

abscess formation

splinter reaction with pus in center, bad

causation of fever

triggered by proteins or fever producing substances released from inflamed site into blood stream

fever causing proteins
