1
New cards

describe what happens in the first line of defense

physical nonspecific barrier

includes mucus, skin and secretions of acid enzymes and salt

2
New cards

first line of defense (specific or nonspecific)

nonspecific

3
New cards

third line of defense (specific or nonspecific)

nonspecific

4
New cards

first line of defense (innate or adaptive)

innate

5
New cards

second line of defense (innate or adaptive)

innate

6
New cards

third line of defense (innate or adaptive)

adaptive

7
New cards

second line of defense (specific or nonspecific)

non specific

8
New cards

describe what happens in the second line of defense when bacteria enters body

inflammatory response

mast cells produce histamines

histamines cause blood vessels to dilate and increase permiability

allows macrophage and other white blood cells to get to infected area faster and engulf and digest pathogen

complement system

immune response causing more macrophages to arrive to area

9
New cards

mast cells produce….

histamines

10
New cards

histamines are produced by…

mast cells

11
New cards

histamines cause ….

blood vessels to dilate and increase permiability

12
New cards

what do macrophages do

engulf and digest pathogens

13
New cards

which immune response is this

  • mast cells produce histamines

second line of defense

14
New cards

which immune response is this

  • the inflammatory response

second line of defense

15
New cards

which immune response is this

  • includes complement system

second line of defense

16
New cards

describe what happens in the complement system

  • encourages immune response causing more macrophages to arrive at area

  • works with both specific and non specific immune response

17
New cards

which immune response does the complement system work with ( specific or non specific)

both

18
New cards

what does this describe

  • encourage immune response causing more macrophages to arrive at area

compliment system

19
New cards

what are the 2 types of third line defense

  • cell mediated

  • humoral immune response

20
New cards

what cell does cell mediated immunity activate

cytotoxic t cells

21
New cards

what cell does humoral immune response active

B cells

22
New cards

cytotoxic t cells are activated by which immune response

cell mediated

23
New cards

b cells are activated by which immune response

humoral immune response

24
New cards

describe the two different ways that cytotoxic t cells are activated

  1. infected cell present antigen from pathogen on its surface

  2. macrophage processes consumed pathogen antigen its surface, t-helper cells attach to antigens, macrophage and t-helper cells release chemical signal

25
New cards

what happens after cytotoxic t cells are activated? what does it do?

cytotoxic t cells release perforin causing apoptosis and bacteria explode

26
New cards

define perforin

protein that creates holes in the infected cell causing apoptosis

27
New cards

define apoptosis

self destruct of cell due to holes created by perforin where water and ions enter and make it explode

28
New cards

protein that creates holes in the infected cell causing apoptosis

perforin

29
New cards

self destruct of cell due to holes created by perforin where water and ions enter and make bacteria explode

apoptosis

30
New cards

describe the humoral immune response

antigens on surface of macrophage or free antigens activate helper t cells

t cells bind to antigen

both macrophage and t helper cells release chemical signal stimulating b cells

b cells produce antibodies

31
New cards

antibodies are produced by which immune response

humoral immune response in third line of defense

32
New cards

b cells are activated by which immune response

humoral immune response

33
New cards

antibodies are produced by which cell

b cells

34
New cards

in which immune response does apoptosis occur

humoral immunity third line of defense

35
New cards

describe memory b-cells

activate plasma B cells and make antibodies

36
New cards

describe memory t cells

activate cytotoxic t cells and go after infected cells

37
New cards

memory cells that activate plasma b cells

memory b cells

38
New cards

memory cells that make antibodies

memory b cells

39
New cards

memory cells that activate cytotoxic t cells

memory t cells

40
New cards

memory cells that go after infected cells

memory t cells
