AnaPhy Chapter 14: Lymphatic System and Immunity (Immunity)

  1. Is the ability to resist damage from foreign substances; Protect against microbes, toxins, and cancer cells
    Immunity
  2. Types of Immunity
    • 1. Innate (Non-specific resistance)
    • 2. Adaptive (Specific immunity)
  3. Recognize and destroy pathogens, but response is the same each time the body is exposed
    Innate immunity
  4. Recognize and destroy pathogens, response improves each time the pathogen is encountered
    Adaptive immunity
  5. 2 subdivisions of Adaptive immunity
    • 1. Antibody-mediated immunity
    • 2. Cell-mediated immunity
  6. Antibody-mediated immunity involves ____
    B cells
  7. Cell-mediated immunity involves _____
    Specific T cells
  8. Is the ability of adaptive immunity to recognize a particular substance
    Specificity
  9. Is the ability of adaptive immunity to "remember" previous encounters with a particular substance
    Memory
  10. Innate immunity mechanisms
    • 1. Physical barriers
    • 2. Chemical mediators
    • 3. White blood cells
    • 4. Inflammatory response
  11. Prevent pathogens and chemicals from entering the body
    Physical barriers
  12. 2 ways physical barriers prevent pathogens and chemicals from entering the body:
    • 1. Skin and mucous membranes act as barriers
    • 2. Tears, saliva, urine, and other secretions wash away pathogens
  13. Chemicals that destroy pathogens or prevent their entry into the cells
    Chemical mediators
  14. Promote inflammation by causing vasodilation
    Histamine
  15. Found in tears and saliva that kills certain bacteria
    Lysozyme
  16. Prevents the entry of some pathogens/microbes
    Mucous membranes
  17. Is a group of more than 20 proteins found in blood plasma; Once activated, it promotes inflammation and phagocytosis and can directly lyse (rupture) bacterial cells
    Complement
  18. Are proteins that protect against viral infections by stimulating neighboring cells to produce antiviral proteins
    Interferons
  19. Produced in red bone marrow and lymphatic tissue that fight foreign substances
    White blood cells
  20. Is the ingestion and destruction of particles by cells called phagocytes
    Phagocytosis
  21. Small phagocytic white blood cells first to respond to infection; Often die after phagocytizing a single microorganism
    Neutrophils
  22. Initially monocytes; Usually appear in infected tissues after neutrophils; Responsible for most of the phagocytic activity in the late stages of an infection
    Macrophages
  23. Macrophages in the lungs
    Dust cells
  24. Microphages in the liver
    Kupffer cells
  25. Microphages in the Central Nervous System
    Microglia
  26. Are motile white blood cells derived from red bone marrow that leave blood and enter infected tissues; Can release histamine
    Basophils
  27. Are nonmotile cells in connective tissue made in the red bone marrow; Found in skin, lungs, gastrointestinal tract, and urogenital tract that can release leukotrienes
    Mast cells
  28. ____ and ____ cells can be activated through innate immunity by complement, or through adaptive immunity
    Basophils, Mast cells
  29. Produced in the red bone marrow; Release chemicals to reduce inflammation associated with allergies and asthma
    Eosinophils
  30. Type of lymphocyte produced in the red bone marrow; Do not exhibit a memory response; Release chemicals that cause cells to lyse (rupture)
    Natural killer (NK) cells
  31. Involves chemical and cells due to injury; Signaled by the presence of foreign substance; Stimulates release of chemical mediators
    Inflammatory response
  32. An inflammatory response that is generally distributed throughout the body
    Systemic inflammation
  33. Chemicals released by microorganisms, neutrophils, and other cells that stimulate fever production
    Pyrogens
  34. An inflammatory response that is confined to a specific area of the body
    Local inflammation
  35. Substances that stimulate adaptive immune responses
    Antigens
  36. Introduced from outside the body; Antigens that produce an overreaction of the immune system
    Foreign antigens
  37. Molecule produced by body that stimulates an immune system response
    Self-antigen
  38. Results when self-antigens stimulate unwanted destruction of normal tissue
    Autoimmune disease
  39. Autoimmune disease that destroys tissue within joints
    Rheumatoid arthritis
  40. T cells that produce the effects of cell-mediated immunity
    Cytotoxic T cell
  41. T cells that promote or inhibit the activities of both antibody-mediated immunity and cell-mediated immunity
    Helper T cells
  42. Cells in red bone marrow that are capable of giving rise to all the blood cells
    Hemopoietic stem cells
  43. Two events that must occur for the adaptive immune response to be effective:
    • 1. Antigen recognition by lymphocytes
    • 2. Proliferation of the lymphocytes recognizing the antigen
  44. Adaptive immunity occurs when ____
    Antigen receptors combine with the antigen and lymphocyte is activated
  45. Are glycoproteins that contain binding sites for antigens; Hold and present a processed antigen on the surface of the cell membrane; Bind to antigen receptor on B or T cells and stimulate response
    Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules
  46. Proteins or peptides secreted by one cell as a regulator of neighboring cells
    Cytokinesis
  47. Arrange the proper order of Lymphocyte Proliferation

    1. Helper T cells are needed to produce B cells
    2. After antigen is processed and present to helper T cells, helper T cell produces interleukin-2 and interleukin-2 receptors
    3. B cells produce antibodies
    4. Interleukin-2 binds to receptors and stimulates more helper T cells production
