Q

Fourth step of phagocytosis

A

Phagolysosome moves to plasma membrane, expels debris

17
Q

Phagocytosis is mainly the job of these

18
Q

DC’s carry out phagocytosis and do this

A

Alert adaptive response

19
Q

WBCs that circulate in blood

A

Neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils,

20
Q

Two roles of neutrophils

A
  1. Phagocytosis
  2. Lyse self, release DNA to form net
21
Q

What kills a pathogen after it is in a net from a neutrophil?

22
Q

Contains antibody on a receptor protein

23
Q

What does an eosinophil antibody attach to?

A

A large eukaryote

24
Q

What do eosinophils release?

A

Perforin and granzymes

25
Role of basophils
Release chemokines for communication with other WBCs
26
What detects activating vs inhibitory proteins on a host cell?
Natural killer cells
27
More inhibitory than activating
Healthy cell
28
More activating than inhibitory
Infected cell
29
If host cell is infected, NK Cell...
Release perforin and granzymes
30
What does cytokines do to epithelial cells?
Loosen connections and express adhesion molecules for WBCs to attach to
