The ______ consists of cells, proteins, and supporting systems that kill or neutralize invaders, react to allergens and chemical,s and monitor the body for cancer
immune system
Three major, beneficial roles of the immune system are:

-inactivates toxins and viruses
-monitors for cancer
The disadvantages of the immune system:
-Allergies
-hypersensitive response
-autoimmune disease
When the body attacks tissue in the joints
RA
When the body attacks the brain and spinal cord
MS
When the body destroys insulin-producing cells in the pancreas
Type 1 diabetes
When the body produces antibodies against its own DNA, causing chronic fatigue
Lupus
_____ immunity is the body's natural immunity - the immunity someone is born with
innate
Innate immunity is also called _____ immunity
non-specific
____ immunity is a more specific, tailor-made type of immunity that develops after an individual is exposed to a pathogen
acquired
Acquired immunity is also called ______ immunity
adaptive
-First line of defense
-Second line of defense
innate immunity
third line of defense =
acquired immunity
barrier defenses: skin, mucous membranes
first line of defense
-phagocytosis
-inflammation
-extracellular killing
-fever
-complement system
second line of defense
-humoral immunity
-cell-mediated immunity
third line of defense
Involves B cells and T cells
third line of defense
_______ immunity is against extracellular pathogens via the activation of B cells, which produce antibodies and memory cells
humoral
_______ immunity is against intracellular pathogens, using cytotoxic T cells and natural killer cells that kill altered cells, infected cells, or cancer cells
cell-mediated
The ______ system consists of lymphatic organs and a conducting network of lymphatic vessels that carry lymph
lymphatic
foreign molecules that elicit an immune response
antigens
_____ are large, complex molecules because that have to be large enough for the body to recognize them
antigens
Bone marrow and thymus =
primary lymphatic tissues and organs
are involved in the production, maturations, and differentiation of lymphocytes
primary lymphatic tissues and organs
-lymph nodes
-spleen
-tonsils
-Peyer's patches
-Lymphoid tissues
secondary lymphatic tissues and organs
initiate an adaptive immune response by encountering and binding antigens
secondary lymphatic tissues and organs
pea sized organs that filter the lymph for the presence of antigens and initiate a response
lymph nodes
the white pulp filters the blood for the presence of antigens
spleen
fight against inhaled pathogens
tonsils
organized aggregations of lymphatic tissue found in the intestine and lungs. They are covered with microfilm cells that bring the infection is; antigens are then passed to the immune cells, which fight the infection on the spot
Peyer's patches
a network of loosely attached and connected lymphatic vessels
lymphoid tissues
Skin associated lymphoid tissue
SALT
Mucosa associated lymphoid tissue
MALT
Bronchial associated lymphoid tissue
BALT
Gut associated lymphoid tissue
GALT
All blood formed elements originate from hematopoietic stem cells in the ___________
bone marrow
______ are involved with blood clotting
platelets
Lymphocytes consist of three groups of non-phagocytic WBCS:
-B cells
-T cells
-NK cells
originate in the bone marrow and mature in the bone marrow
B cells
Originate in the bone marrow and mature in the thymus
T cells
are activated in the lymph nodes
B cells
most directly involved in humoral immunity
B cells
differentiate into plasma cells and memory B cells
B cells
types include helper T cells, cytotoxic T cells, and memory T cells
T cells
most directly involved in cell mediated immunity
T cells
attack and kill malignant cells and cells that have been infected with pathogens
NK cells
play a role in both specific and nonspecific defenses
NK cells
recognize, engulf, and destroy foreign cells
phagocytic cells
circular around the body and mature into macrophages
monocytes
are localized in specific tissues and are named for the tissues in which they reside
macrophages
Have a variety of surface receptors that allow them to bind to and destroy infectious agents
macrophages
present antigens to helper T cells once they digest and destroy the infectious agent
antigen-presenting cells
macrophages produce:
cytokines
specialized proteins used for communication in the immune system
cytokines
phagocytic cells but their main function is antigen presentation
dendritic cells
major circulating phagocytic cells in the body
neutrophils
____ cells release histamine granules during an allergic response
mast
B cells, T cells, NK cells =
lymphocytes
nautrophils, eosinophils, mast cells, and basophils =
granulocytes
monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells, neutrophils =
phagocytes
macrophages, some B cells, dendritic cells
antigen-presenting cells
The body's first response to a viral infection is to produce:
interferons
Cell-mediated immunity directly acts against all of the following:
-altered cells
-infected cells
-cancer cells
What do monocytes, macrophages, neutrophils, and dendritic cells have in common?
they are all phagocytic cells
_______ are the most common portal of entry for pathogens
mucous membranes
_______ are phagocytes in the alveoli of the lungs that directly attack and neutralize pathogens
alveolar macrophages
the ______ is the outermost layer of the mucous membrane and is constantly regenerated
epithelium
_______ prevents microbes from entering the lungs by trapping them and moving them upward in the respiratory tract
Mucocilary blanket
the process in which specialized cells recognize, ingest, and digest extracellular pathogens
phagocytosis
a ______________ occurs as oxygen consumption increases
respiratory burst
A respiratory burst occurs when:
a phagosome is formed
a _________ is a fever inducing compound
pyrogen
the body's natural pyrogen is:
interleukin-1
covering the surface of the microbe to facilitate phagocytosis
opsonization
attraction of immune cells such as phagocytes
chemotaxis
______ immunity involves substances found in the body's humors
humoral
it is effective at neutralizing extracellular microbes
humoral immunity
one of the major functions of humoral immunity is to tag and destroy infections with:
antibodies
both Chlamydia and Neisseria are:
viruses
which best describes reservoirs of infection?
Reservoirs of infection are sites where pathogens are maintained as a source of infection
Involves antibodies directly blocking the ability of antigens to bind to a host
