The inflammatory reaction begins within seconds and can last ___________ -
minutes to days
__________________ is activated when the innate immunity is inadequate -
Adaptive immune system
Adaptive Immunity is ______________ - More specific
Adapative immunity______________, _______________, and develop memory for
that specific antigen. - recognize an antigen, and target the specific antigen
Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) allows the body to ________________ - distinguish
between self from non-self. Antigens that belong to the host vs antigens that are
from an invader
Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) aka - Major Histocompatibility complexes (MHCs)
B lymphocytes (humoral immunity) mature within the - Bone marrow, spleen, and
lymph nodes
Anatomic barriers, Processes within the GI tract, Normal flora, Bodily Fluids &
Phagocytic cells - Components of Innate Immunity
, Anatomical Barriers consist of ________ - 1. Nasal epithelium(consist of mucus
producing cells and hair that traps inhaled substances)
2. intact skin prevents infection
3. mucus membrane
Phagocytic cells engulf and ingest __________ - microorganisms and other
noxious substances
macrophages and neutrophils - Types of phagocytic cells
1. Saliva: Pathogens are weakened by the enzymes and antibacterial properties in
the saliva.
2. Gastric juices: Destroys pathogens with HCL - Processes within the GI tract
Normal Flora is ______________ that live in symbiosis with the body - Natural
bacteria colonies
C-diff or C-diff colitis is caused by - Abuse or misuse or antibacterials
____________________is when the normal flora in the gut is destroyed - C-diff
infection (Clostridium Difficle)
Vancomycin - used to treat c. difficile. Must be taken orally for it to reach the gut.
Stool Transplant - Transplanting stool from a healthy person to the colon of a
patient with repeat c.difficile infection has been shown to successfully treat c.diff.
Tears (flushes pathogens from the eyes)
Sweat (acts as an antibacterial on the skin)
