Lack of resistance to a disease
Susceptibility
Ability to ward off disease
Immunity
Defenses against any pathogen
Innate immunity
Immunity or resistance to a specific pathogen
Adaptive immunity
In innate immunity Skin,Mucous membranes, Normal microbiota are what line of defense
FIRST
In innate immunity phagocytes neutrophils,eosinophils,dendritic cells,macrophages Inflammation, fever and anti microbial substances are what line of defense
Second
Specialized lymphocytes T cells, B cells and Antibodies make up what line of defense
Third
What binds to Pathogen associated molecular patterns PAMPs
Toll-like receptors TLRs
What do TLRs induce
Cytokines
What do cytokines regulate
Intensity and duration of immune responses
What is our first line of defense
Skin
The epidermis consists of what
Tightly packed cells with keratin a protective protein
What traps microbes
Mucus
This transports microbes trapped in mucus away from lungs
Ciliary escalator
what washes our eyes
lacrimal apparatus
what washes off microbes
saliva
What chemical defense is found in sebum
fungistatic fatty acid
what is the PH of skin
3-5
what enzyme is found in tears,saliva and urine
lysozyme
what is the ph of gastric juice
1.2-3.0
what is the pH of vaginal secretions
3-5
what makes up nonspecific immune cells
neutrophils
basophils
eosinophils
monocyte
lymphocyte
WBCs with granules in cytoplasm that are visible with a light microscope
Granulocytes
Neutrohils,Basophils,Eosinophils all belong to
granulocytes
Phagocytic; work in the early stages of infection and are really good at killing bacteria
neutrophils
release histamine; work in allergic responses
basophils
Phagocytic; toxic against parasites and helminths
eosinophils
monocytes,dendritic cells, lymphocytes belong to
Agranulocytes
Mature into macrophages in tissues where they are phagocytic
monocytes
found in the skin,mucous membranes,and thymus; phagocytic
dendritic cells
what does very well against viruses?
lymphocytes
WBCs with granules in their cytoplasm that are not visible with a light microscope
Agranulocytes
T cells,B cells and NK cells; play a role
lymphocytes
what percentage of your bloods WBCs are neutrophils
60-70%
what percentage of your bloods WBCs are basophils
0.5-1%
what percentage of your bloods WBCs are eosinophils
2-4%
what percentage of your bloods WBCs are monocytes
3-8%
what percentage of your bloods WBCs are lymphocytes
20-25%
from greek meaning to eat
phago
from greek meaning cell
cyte
what do phagocytes ingest
bacteria
what are the most biggest abundant phagocytic cells
macrophages
what are the two forms of macrophages
fixed macrophages
wandering macrophages
why do you need two different types of macrophages
fixed macrophages are set in specific spots such as heart or lungs and wandering macrophages are wandering around looking for bacteria
what activates acute pase proteins by the liver that cause vasodilation and increased permeability of blood vessels
inflammation
what different kinds of cytokines cause inflammation
histamine
kinins
prostaglandins
leukotrienes
cytokines
vasodilation and increased permeability of blood vessels
histamine
chemotaxis by attracting neutrophils
kinins
intensifies the effects of histamine and kinins and help phagocytes move through capillary walls
prostaglandins
increase permeability of blood vessels and help attach phagocytes to pathogens
leukotrienes
vasodilation and increased permeability of blood vessels
cytokines
what are some advantages to a fever
increases transferrins
increases IL-1 activity
produces interferon
what are some disadvantages toa fever
tachycardia
acidosis
dehydration
44-46 C Fatal
what is crisis
when your body temperature falls, vasodilation and sweating occurs
what is complement
a pathway of serum proteins
what causes cells to produce antiviral proteins that inhibit viral replication
IFN-Alpha IFN-Beta
what causes neutrophils and macrophages to phagocytize bacteria
IFN-Y (Gamma)
