Complete Solution

how does the body react when an infection occurs - ANSWER Infections --> inflammation
--> innate immune response

Innate immunity is mediated by.... - ANSWER effector mechanisms

complement + effector cells (cytokines-- signaling protein)

Cytokines - ANSWER Chemicals released by the immune system communicate with the
brain.

Vasodilation of the blood vessels

increase of blood flow to site of infections

have different effect on different tissue

travels in blood to sites throughout the body

What symptoms are caused by the immune system's response at the site of infections? -
ANSWER calor (heat)

tumor (swelling/edema)

rubor (redness)

dolor (pain)

Adaptive Immunity - ANSWER highly specialized and specific

does colonel selection, clonal expansion, then effector cell differentiation

is called up from lymphocytes

slow response (days to weeks)

variable

improved during response

Innate immunity - ANSWER rapid response (hours)

fixed (from genes)

limited number of specificities

,constant during response

pluripotent hematopoietic stem cell - ANSWER a common progenitor cells that all
leukocytes (and erythrocytes) derive from

self renewing throughout life

Progenitor cells - ANSWER intermediary progenitor cells give rise to precursor cells,
which eventually give rise to effector cells

What are the major families of cells? - ANSWER Lymphoid cells

Myeloid cells

Erythroid cells

(M.E.L)

What site of hematopoiesis in humans changes during development? - ANSWER yolk sac
--> fetal liver and spleen --> bone marrow (forever)

What cells are found in mostly innate immunity? - ANSWER neutrophils, basophils,
eosinophils, monocytes (macrophages), NK cells

mast cells*

What are found in mostly adaptive immunity? - ANSWER B cells --> plasma cells

T cells --> effector cells

dendritic cells*

describe the basic function of B cells? - ANSWER B cells --> plasma cells --> antibodies
production

What is the basic function of T cells? - ANSWER T cells --> B cells activation

--> macrophage activation (Th1)

--> cytoxoxic cell death (CTL)

What Is the basic function of neutrophils? - ANSWER engulfment and destruction of the
BACTERIA

RECRUITS TO A SITE OF INFECTION TO RAPIDLY KILL PATHOGENS

Neutrophils are stored in the bone marrow and are released when needed to fight
infection

travels and enters the infected tissue, where they engulf and kill the bacteria. The
neutrophils die in the tissue and are engulfed and degraded by macrophages.

,if there is a high count of neutrophil in the blood = there is an active infection

very clinic biomarker

does not live long

What is the basic function of monocytes/macrophages? - ANSWER phagocytosis of
microorganisms and cell debris

antigen presentation --> T cells

CONSTANTLY MONITORS TISSUE TO ALERT INNATE SYSTEM

can detect NON-SELF

function: mature from bone marrow-derived monocytes, after migration into tissue

engulf pathogen and cell debris via phagocytosis/ The receptor-mediated process which
ends in gene transcription and cytokine release in the peripheral site... causes
vasodilation and inflammatory

etc. acne

What is the basic function of dendritic cells? - ANSWER activates adaptive immunity.:
Bridge innate response to adaptive migrate from area of infection in lymph node and
activates T cells

What is the basic function of NK cells? - ANSWER INNATE



directly kill the antigen through apoptosis



What is the basic function of B cells? - ANSWER ADAPTIVE



What is basic function of T cells? - ANSWER ADAPTIVE



bind to pieces of protein



What is the function of mast cells? - ANSWER allergic/ inflammatory response and worm
removal

, Compare B cells receptor, antibodies, and T cell receptor? - ANSWER B cell receptor
(soluble antibodies) and T cell receptors (never soluble) recognized and bind ANTIGEN.



diversity of receptors is due to gene cutting, splicing and medication during
lymphocytes development



Explain the function of plasma cells and effector T cells? - ANSWER Before activation, B
cells and T cells are called NAIVE CELLS



activated B cells (BCR binds to antigen) differentiate into PLASMA CELLS, whose sole
function is to secrete antibody



Activated T cells (TCR binds to antigen presented by MHC) differentiated in HELPER
CELLS, CYTOXIC CELLS OR REGULATORY CELLS



Describe how antibodies enhance neutralization and opsonization? - ANSWER
antibodies circulate in blood, binding antigen in tissues and blood, providing HUMORAL
IMMUNITY



antibodies can neutralize and opsonize antigen and pathogens



this lead to increased of phagocytosis and toxins and pathogen



Defined primary and secondary immune organs - ANSWER primary organs: THYMUS
AND BONE MARROW

- lymphocytes are produced



secondary organs: SPLEEN

- is where it is activated
