Q

Process of Inflammation

A

Barrier break
damaged cells release chemicals that induce blood vessels to dilate
Clotting reactions seal off the infected region
WBC disinfect

16
Q

Monocytes and macrophages release endogenous pyrogen in response to bacterial molecules

17
Q

Induces hypothalamus to increase body temp

18
Q

Specific immune system

19
Q
Specific
Systematic- travel
Has memory
Late reponders
Repond due to recognition of a specific antigen
A

Adaptive Immunity

20
Q

Process through which body fights off antigens via formation of specific antibodies

A

Clonal selection theory

21
Q

Determines which types of lymphocytes will need to be produced and in what quantities

A

Clonal Selection Theory

22
Q

Steps for adaptive immunity

A

New antigen

Lymphocyte activated- triggers replication/clone formation to prohibit/prevent infection

23
Q

2 types of cells produced in Lymphocyte activation

A

Effector

Memory

24
Q

What are the classes of adaptive immunity

A

Antibody-mediated or humoral immunity

Cell-mediated immunity

25
Involves production of antibodies by B lymphocyte derivatives known as plasms
Humoral
26
Involves production of T lymphocytes
Cell-mediated
27
Makes antibodies that bind to specific antigens
B lymphocytes
28
Carry out cell-mediated immunity
T Lymphocytes
29
Results from exposure to an antigen | Self-generated immunity
Active immunity
30
Borrowed immunity | Results from transfer of antibodies
Passive immunity
31
Tolerance refers to preventing the immune system from attacking the persons own tissues
Autoimmune Disease
32
Diseases caused by the failure of the immune system to recognize and tolerate self antigens
Autoimmune Disease
33
Stimulation of B cells that produce antibodies that bind to self-antgens
Autoimmune disease
34
Diminished B and Cytotoxic T cell function
AIDS
35
Immune response to environmental antigens damages body itself
Allergy
36
Enlargement of the lymph nodes
Lymphomas
37
malignancies that originate in bone marrow
Leukemia
38
Malignancies of Plasma cells found in bone marrow
Multiple Myeloma
