plasma
liquid, carries substances
How gasses are transported
hemoglobin and plasma
platelets
cell chunks, prevent and stop bleeding
antibody
protein molecules that develop in response to antigens
antigen
invaders
exposure to pathogen: INATE barriers
1a. physical barriers, ex: stomach acid 1b. macrophages and neutrophils, engulf and kill pathogens 2. natural killer lymphocytes release chemicals 3. antimicrobial proteins 4. inflammatory response through basophils and macrophages, cytokines initiate fever
exposure to pathogen: ADAPTIVE barriers
1. dendrite cells, engulfs pathogen 2. humoral immunity, B cells, plasma cells, memory cells 3. cell mediated immunity, killer T cells
function of lymphatic system
maintain BP and BV, return fluids leaked from capillaires
lymphatic capillaries
permeable to large substances
primary lymphoid organs
thymus red bone marrow
secondary lymphoid organs
nodes, spleen, tonsils, appendix
primary immunodeficiencies
genetic mutations
secondary immunodeficiencies
malnutrition, drugs, environmental, cancer, infections, HIV
acute transplant rejections
T cells attack tissue, treated with steroids
chronic transplant rejections
many acute rejections
Type 1 immune hypersensitive
rapid reactions: allergens bind to antibodies on basophils, release histamine, allergic reaction
Type 2 immune hypersensitive
self sabotage: antibodies bind to antigens on host cell and immune system thinks this is foreign
Type 3 immune hypersensitive
getting stuck: antibodies bind to antigens, inflammatory
Type 4 immune hypersensitive
adaptive self sabotage: helper T cells activate macrophages and killer T cells, inflammation
ABO blood group
presence or absence of A and B antigens
Rh factor
type of protein on the surface of RBC
