What are T lymphocytes and B lymphocytes
Correct Answer -T cells recognize antigen, produced in bone marrow,
mature in thymus, 2 types (regulator - helper & suppressor, &
effector/killer), protect against viruses & cancer, responsible for
hypersensitivity reactions & transplant rejections.
B cells encounter antigen, produced & mature in bone marrow,
differentiate into 2 types (memory & immunoglobulin-secreting [Ig]),
antibodies produced 72hrs after initial antigen exposure, subsequent
exposure to same antigen leads to quicker response
1. What are macrophages?
Correct Answer -Fibrocystic WBC within tissues produced by monocytes;
phagocytize (eat) & stimulate lymphocytes & other immune cells to
respond to pathogens
Where are leukocytes and red blood cells formed
Correct Answer -Bone marrow
1. Best way to prevent the spread of infection
Correct Answer -wash hands
1. What compounds does the body release during stress?
Correct Answer -Cortisol / Catecholamines
,1. Specific type of white blood cell found with type 1 hypersensitivity
Correct Answer -Mast cell
Type 1 hypersensitivity
Correct Answer --B-Lymphocyte
-IgE

Type 2 hypersensitivity
Correct Answer --B-Lymphocyte
-IgG, IgM

Type 4 hypersensitivity
Correct Answer --T-Lymphocyte
-None
, -Host tissue cells
-Cytokines
-Contact dermatitis, Infection allergy
Apoptosis
Correct Answer -Cell kill themselves
Cancer cells do not go through this
Carcinogenesis
Correct Answer -Process in which cancer develops
Gangrene
Correct Answer -Severe hypoxic injury
Benign cell
Correct Answer -slow, progressive, localized, well defined, resembles
host, grows by expansion
Malignant
Correct Answer -Rapid growth, spreads quickly, Fatal
Cancer complications
Correct Answer -Anemia - Decrease in circulation of blood
Cachexia - Unexplained weight loss and weakness
Leukopenia - Decrease in circulating white blood cells
Thrombocytopenia - Decrease in circulating platelets
