what are the 2 defense systems of the immune system and what do they do
1. nonspecific(innate)=natural
2. specific(adaptive)= acquired
Name 2 2nd lines of defense
1. inflammation response
2. phaocytosis
name 2 3rd lines of defense
specific immunity and natural killer cells
Name first line of defenses
skin, mucous membrane, normal bacterial flora, gastric ph, perspiration, tears, earwax
inflammatory response is a second line of defense what does it do
responds within SECONDS- releases chemicals that increases circulation at the site where plasma cells attack antigen
Phagocytosis is a second line of defense what happens?
cells ingest and dispose of foreign material...circulating neutrophils esinophils monocytes and macophages
the immune response is the 3rd line of defense and is specific, what happens?
slower than inflammatory response, has memory, and is specific. immunity is mediated by immuoglobin, lymphocytes ...the types are innate and adaptive
5 important points about Innate immunity?
- early reaction
-can tell self from nonself
-unable to distinguish btw pathogens
-consists of cellular and biochemical defenses b4 infection
-major components are PHAGOCYTIC/NK/PLASMA PROTEINS/CYTOKINES
ADAPTIVE IMMUNITY IS ACQUIRED OF SPECIFIC IMMUNITY NAME 5 IMPORTANT POINTS
- you get it thru previous exposure to infection
- can recognize/distinguish/ react to a large number of microbes and nonmicrobial substances
-major component is lymphocyte

-CD4 is a type is the master switch for immune system, secrete cytokines and affect all immune cells
CD8 is a type that destroys target cells
T helper cells CD4 secrete----- that attract-----
cytokines; CD8 cytotoxic cells
Name the three cells involved with a humoral response
b lymphocytes, plasma cells, immuloglobulins (antibodies)
what is the function of a b cell?
change into plasma cells that produce antibodies that travel in the blood and interact with circulating and cell surface antigens
what are immunoglobulins?
special class of proteins called antibodies(five classes G,A,M,D,E)
What are the functions of immuoglobulins?

most abundant and protects against bacteria,viruses, toxins.
what is the function of IgA
found in tears, saliva, colostrum, ect
what is the function of IgM
first one present in newborn and first circulating one to appear in response to an antigen
what is function of IgD
on cell membrane of b lymphocyte
what is the function of IgE
invovled in inflammatory and allergic response and combating parasite infections
Fully developed at birth and gradually regresses and replaced with fat tissue, some thymus persists into old age
Thymus
what are cytokines
regulating proteins produced in ALL stages of an immune response
Modulate the movement, proliferation, and differentiation of leukocytes
Named for the cell that produces them:
Lymphokines
Monokines
More specifically named by the international nomenclature (i.e., interleukins 1-30). Interferons (IFNs) - interferes with virus multiplication)
Includes – interleukins, interferons, tumor necrosis factor, colony-stimulating factor
explain active immunity
you get it thru having the disease or getting immunization..depends on the response to the antigen..long term protection
explain passive immunity
- transfered from another soure
-mom to baby--IgG crosses placenta to protect in the first 3-6 months of life
-breast milk
-short term protection
what is Chemotaxis
Release of chemical at injured site that attract leukocytes to injured site
what are the cardinal signs of inflammatory response
redness,swelling,heat,pain,loss of function and is a nonspecific response
what happens in the vascular stage in inflammatory response
constricts then dialtes--capillary permeability(fluid moves into tissue)--clotting of blood in small capillaries at injury site
what is acute inflammation marked by
phagocytic WBC(leucocytes)
what is released at the celular level in inflammation
granulocytes and monocytes
what is the function of Neutrophils
white blood cell and primary phagocyte
esoniphils function
increase in allergic reactions and parasite infections
Granulocytes
a wbc with 3 types(nuetro,eso,baso) have multilobed nuculei
what are inflammatory mediators
s/s of inflammation that are produced by chemical mediators that come from plasma cells
Plasma Protease
consists of kinins (bradykinin causes capillary permeability and pain), activated complement protein, clotting factors
Histamine
causes dilation and increased permeability of capillaries
Arachidonic Acid Metabolites
Prostaglandins- cause vasodilation, permeability, pain and fever – NSAIDS work here
Leukotriens – same action as histamine but cause slow sustained response – slow-reacting substance of anaphylaxis (SRS-A) – Singular works here
Cytokines
interleukins, interferons, TNF
Nitric Oxide
relaxes smooth muscle, reduces platelet aggregation, aids in leukocytes recruitment
Platelet-activating factor
induces platelet aggregation
Mast cells function
cells, which synthesize and store histamines, found in most body tissues, particularly just below the epithelial surfaces, serous cavities and around blood vessels. In an allergic response, an allergen stimulates the release of antibodies, which attach themselves to mast cells. and is similar to basophil and produce symptoms with allergic reaction
local manifestations of inflammation
Range from swelling and the formation of exudate to abscess formation
Exudates
Serous – watery fluid (plasma)
Hemorrhagic – RBC’s
Fibrinous – fibrinogen (thick, sticky meshwork)
Purulent (suppurative) contains pus, which is degraded WBC’s, protein, tissue debris
Abscess formation
Systemic Effects Inflammation
Leukocytosis
Fever
Increase in circulating plasma proteins
Sepsis and septic shock
Systemic Effects Inflammation in detail
Leukocytosis
WBC’s 15,000 to 20,000
Shift to left ↑ bands (immature neutrophils), and cytokines (IL-1) stimulate production of WBC’s
Viral infections usually cause neutropenia
Allergic responses –increase in eosinophils
Fever – due to cytokines (IL-1, IL-6, &TNF)
Lymphadenitis – painful palpable nodes
Sepsis - Septic shock
what are the major mediators involved in the allergic response
inflammatory mediators from sensitized mast cells
what is type 1 hypersensitivity immune response
Immediate-type hypersensitivity reactions (allergic reactions)
Triggered by an the binding of an allergen to a specific IgE found on the surface of mast cells or basophiles
Examples:
Anaphylaxis (systemic or local)
Allergic rhinitis
Food allergy- seafood, nuts, etc.
Initial (first exposure) sensitization to an allergen stimulates B lymphocytes to produce IgE from plasma cells.
The IgE coats the surface of the mast cell by binding with IgE–specific crystalline fragment (Fc) receptors on the mast cell's plasma membrane.
Second exposure to the same allergen cross–links the surface–bound IgE and causes degranulation of the mast cell.
The late phase occurs 2 to 8 hours later without additional exposure to antigen. The last phase has more intense filtration of tissues with eosinophils, neutrophils, basophils, monocytes, and helper T cells.

mechanism of type 1
Types
Atopic - Localized reaction
A genetically determined hpersensitivity to common environmental allergens
Anaphylaxis - Systemic disorders
A systemic life-threatening hypersensitivity reaction
types of immune response 1
Destruction of a target cell through the action of antibody (IgG or IgM) against a target cell
Examples:
Mismatched blood transfusion reaction
Newborn ABO or Rh incompatibility
Certain drug reactions
Type II, Antibody-Mediated Hypersensitivity
Acquired immune dysfunction, caused by the HIV retrovirus that attacks the CD4 T lymphocytes; Retrovirus – carries genetic information in RNA
Bind to surface of target cell, injects RNA into target cell
RNA converted to DNA, injects into target cell’s genetic material
May remain dormant

The crystal violet of gram stain is precipitated by Gram iodine and is trapped in the thick peptidoglycan layer in gram-positive bacteria
Gram positive = Purple
bacteria are visualized by the red counter stain The decolorizer dispenses the gram-negative outer membrane and washes the crystal violet from the thin layer of peptidoglycan.
Gram-negative
Bacteria can be categorized according to gram stain
Organisms that stain purple = gram positive
Gram positive organisms have thicker outer cell capsule
Organisms that stain red = gram-negative
Gram negative have a two cell membranes
gram stain
Gram positive organisms have thicker outer cell capsule made of Peptidoglycan
Gram negative organisms have a cell wall that is more complex with two cell membranes, making it more difficult to treat
wall structure and gram stain
Staphylococci
Inhabit most peoples skin
Cause local topical infections (impetigo, acne)
Streptococci
Pneumonia
“Strep throat”
Treat with penicillin-like medications - inhibit the synthesis of the peptidoglycan wall
