Tightly packed cells with keratin a protective protein

13
New cards

What traps microbes

Mucus

14
New cards

This transports microbes trapped in mucus away from lungs

20
New cards

what is the ph of gastric juice

1.2-3.0

21
New cards

what is the pH of vaginal secretions

3-5

22
New cards

what makes up nonspecific immune cells

neutrophils

basophils

eosinophils

monocyte

lymphocyte

23
New cards

WBCs with granules in cytoplasm that are visible with a light microscope

Granulocytes

24
New cards

Neutrohils,Basophils,Eosinophils all belong to

granulocytes

25
New cards

Phagocytic; work in the early stages of infection and are really good at killing bacteria

neutrophils

26
New cards

release histamine; work in allergic responses

basophils

27
New cards

Phagocytic; toxic against parasites and helminths

eosinophils

28
New cards

monocytes,dendritic cells, lymphocytes belong to

Agranulocytes

29
New cards

Mature into macrophages in tissues where they are phagocytic

monocytes

30
New cards

found in the skin,mucous membranes,and thymus; phagocytic

dendritic cells

31
New cards

what does very well against viruses?

lymphocytes

32
New cards

WBCs with granules in their cytoplasm that are not visible with a light microscope

Agranulocytes

33
New cards

T cells,B cells and NK cells; play a role

lymphocytes

34
New cards

39
New cards

from greek meaning to eat

phago

40
New cards

from greek meaning cell

cyte

41
New cards

what do phagocytes ingest

bacteria

42
New cards

what are the most biggest abundant phagocytic cells

macrophages

43
New cards

what are the two forms of macrophages

fixed macrophages

wandering macrophages

44
New cards

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

45
New cards

what activates acute pase proteins by the liver that cause vasodilation and increased permeability of blood vessels

leukotrienes

cytokines

47
New cards

vasodilation and increased permeability of blood vessels

histamine

48
New cards

chemotaxis by attracting neutrophils

kinins

49
New cards

intensifies the effects of histamine and kinins and help phagocytes move through capillary walls

prostaglandins

50
New cards

increase permeability of blood vessels and help attach phagocytes to pathogens

leukotrienes

51
New cards

vasodilation and increased permeability of blood vessels

cytokines

52
New cards

what are some advantages to a fever

increases transferrins

increases IL-1 activity

produces interferon

53
