what is the first line of defense known as? innate and natural immunity
innate and natural barrier - anatomical barrier: skin
innate/natural barrier - biochemical: stomach acid
innate/natural barrier's inflammatory response is non specific, its a reaction to just a pathogen or injury
the second line of defense is known as acquired/adaptive immune response
the acquired/adaptive immune response is specific
infectious disease course: incubation period contagious but no signs and symptoms yet
infectious disease course: prodromal period initial signs and symptoms (headache, fever, and malaise)
maximum impact of the microorganism - you know you
infectious disease course: acute phase
are sick
infectious disease course: convalescent period: containment over microorganism, fight it ott
infectious disease course: resolution: absents of pathogen, eliminated
natural immunity occurs when? occurs early and rapidly
it doesn't know what the pathogen is, but it knows its a
natural/innate immunity is not specific meaning?
pathogen
PAMP on the surface of the pathogen/invader, so they
in natrual/innate immunity the cells recognize the recognize its not our self, and we need to try and defend
against it
more details about the natural/innate immunity present at birth, host dependent, and its our inflammation
time of occurance of acquired/adaptive immunity response delayed unless host has been exposed before
the acquired/adaptive immunity is acquired how many
2
ways?
what are the two ways acquired/adaptive immunity is
actively acquired and passively acquired
formed
produced by the host after either immunization or natural
explain actively acquired adaptive/acquired immunity
exposure to antigen

pre-formed antibodies to T-lymphs that are transferred
explain passive acquired of adaptive/acquired immunity to the recipient (thru breastmilk, placenta, or injection of
immunoglobulins)
the immune response must distinguish self from nonself
antigens induce an immune response
antigens are (anti... gen..) antibody generator
self-antigens on host cells normally get recognized as immunogenic by the host's immune system
humoral immunity consists of: B-cells, plasma cells, and memory cells
cellular immunity consists of: T-cells, THcell, and Tc Cell
inflammatory (natural) immunity consists of: WBC's
explain neutrophils: first responders, but die ott quickly
you can see a rise of neutrophils with what bacteria
migrate into tissues and mature into macrophages and
explain monocytes:
dendritic cells, they take longer to arrive but last longer
lymphocytes give us what cells? B and T cells
lymphocytes are a part of passive acquired immunity
lymphocytes come from stem cells in bone marrow
at home in the bone marrow and will be released when
Where do B cells mature:
ready
where do T cells mature? they leave the bone marrow and mature in the thymus
where are mast cells found? in GI and they release histamines
which are the non-phagocytic lymphocytes T cells, B cells, and natural born killers
what are non-phagocytic lymphocytes created by? lymphoid stem cells
what are the 2 T cells CD4 and CD8
CD4 is helper T cells (T4 cells)
