Is the ability to resist damage from foreign substances; Protect against microbes, toxins, and cancer cells
Immunity
Types of Immunity
1. Innate (Non-specific resistance)
2. Adaptive (Specific immunity)
Recognize and destroy pathogens, but response is the same each time the body is exposed
Innate immunity
Recognize and destroy pathogens, response improves each time the pathogen is encountered
Adaptive immunity
2 subdivisions of Adaptive immunity
1. Antibody-mediated immunity
2. Cell-mediated immunity
Antibody-mediated immunity involves ____
B cells
Cell-mediated immunity involves _____
Specific T cells
Is the ability of adaptive immunity to recognize a particular substance
Specificity
Is the ability of adaptive immunity to "remember" previous encounters with a particular substance
Memory
Innate immunity mechanisms
1. Physical barriers
2. Chemical mediators
3. White blood cells
4. Inflammatory response
Prevent pathogens and chemicals from entering the body
Physical barriers
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
Chemicals that destroy pathogens or prevent their entry into the cells
Chemical mediators
Promote inflammation by causing vasodilation
Histamine
Found in tears and saliva that kills certain bacteria
Lysozyme
Prevents the entry of some pathogens/microbes
Mucous membranes
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
Are proteins that protect against viral infections by stimulating neighboring cells to produce antiviral proteins
Interferons
Produced in red bone marrow and lymphatic tissue that fight foreign substances
White blood cells
Is the ingestion and destruction of particles by cells called phagocytes
Phagocytosis
Small phagocytic white blood cells first to respond to infection; Often die after phagocytizing a single microorganism
Neutrophils
Initially monocytes; Usually appear in infected tissues after neutrophils; Responsible for most of the phagocytic activity in the late stages of an infection
Macrophages
Macrophages in the lungs
Dust cells
Microphages in the liver
Kupffer cells
Microphages in the Central Nervous System
Microglia
Are motile white blood cells derived from red bone marrow that leave blood and enter infected tissues; Can release histamine
Basophils
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
____ and ____ cells can be activated through innate immunity by complement, or through adaptive immunity
Basophils, Mast cells
Produced in the red bone marrow; Release chemicals to reduce inflammation associated with allergies and asthma
Eosinophils
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
Involves chemical and cells due to injury; Signaled by the presence of foreign substance; Stimulates release of chemical mediators
Inflammatory response
An inflammatory response that is generally distributed throughout the body
Systemic inflammation
Chemicals released by microorganisms, neutrophils, and other cells that stimulate fever production
Pyrogens
An inflammatory response that is confined to a specific area of the body
Local inflammation
Substances that stimulate adaptive immune responses
Antigens
Introduced from outside the body; Antigens that produce an overreaction of the immune system
Foreign antigens
Molecule produced by body that stimulates an immune system response
Self-antigen
Results when self-antigens stimulate unwanted destruction of normal tissue
Autoimmune disease
Autoimmune disease that destroys tissue within joints
Rheumatoid arthritis
T cells that produce the effects of cell-mediated immunity
Cytotoxic T cell
T cells that promote or inhibit the activities of both antibody-mediated immunity and cell-mediated immunity
Helper T cells
Cells in red bone marrow that are capable of giving rise to all the blood cells
Hemopoietic stem cells
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
Adaptive immunity occurs when ____
Antigen receptors combine with the antigen and lymphocyte is activated
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
Proteins or peptides secreted by one cell as a regulator of neighboring cells
Cytokinesis
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
