answers

Immune System - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔-Protects the body
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


against invasion of antigen (foreign substance that triggers an
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


immune response) |\




-It identifies and destroys potentially harmful cell and remove
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


cellular debris. |\




-*Nonspecific:* skin, cilia, stomach acid |\ |\ |\ |\




-*Specific*: B and T cells |\ |\ |\ |\




-Antibody and Cell mediated immune response
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\




Natural immunity - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Native/Innate
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\




-Present at birth. Provides *nonspecific response* to any foreign
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


invader
-*White blood cell action*: release cell mediators such as
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


*histamine, bradykinin, and prostaglandins* and engulf
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


(*phagocytize*) foreign substances |\ |\




-*Inflammatory* response |\




-Physical barriers, such as *intact skin*, *chemical barriers*, and
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


*acidic gastric secretions* or *enzymes in tears and saliva*
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




Acquired immunity (Adaptive) - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔-Gained
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


after birth. *Specific* response against a foreign antigen.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\

,-Result of *prior exposure* to an antigen
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




-Active or passive |\ |\




Active: exposure through disease or vaccination. Antibodies
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


produced in own body (example: immunizations, common cold).
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


Lasts many years; may last a lifetime
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




Active immunity - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔-exposure through
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


*disease or vaccination* |\ |\ |\




-Antibodies produced in own body (example: *immunizations,
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


common cold*) |\




-Lasts *many years*; may last a lifetime
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




*Natural active immunity:* antibodies produced after recovery
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


from illness
|\




*Artificial active immunity*: antibodies produced as a result of
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


vaccination


Passive immunity - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔-Receive antibodies
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


from *another person*
|\ |\




-*Mom to baby, blood products* (immunoglobulin infusion, IVIG).
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




-Results from transfer of a source outside of the body that has
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


developed immunity through previous disease or immunization
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




-*Temporary*


*Natural Passive Immunity*: antibodies obtained from mother to
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


baby through breast milk or placenta
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\

,*Artificial passive immunity*: antibodies obtained through
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


injection of serum |\ |\




Tissues of Immune System - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔*Bone
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


marrow*: Where the formation of lymphocytes: B and T cells
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


happen.


*B cells*: divide into cells that will *produce antibodies* for a
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


specific antigen |\ |\




-(antibodies=molecules that will bind to an antigen and |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


inactivate it also known as immunoglobulins).|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




-Mature in the *bone marrow and spleen* (produce antibodies for
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


a specific antigen).
|\ |\ |\ |\




-B lymphocytes mature in the *bone marrow*
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




*T cells:* work with the *cell mediated immunity* so it does not
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


involve antibodies. |\ |\




-works with the activation of different types of cells (cytotoxic T
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


lymphocytes and macrophages) which are going to destroy |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


viruses, intracellular bacteria and cancer
|\ |\ |\ |\




-Mature in the *thymus* (cell mediated immunity- activates
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


cytotoxic and macrophages to destroy cells ex. Cancer cells)
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




*Leukocytes (WBC)*: primary cells in *specific and nonspecific
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


response*
-Come from Stem cells in bone marrow.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




-Bone Marrow releases WBC and increases production of WBC
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\

, -*leukocytosis*: increased WBC count |\ |\ |\




-*Neutropenia*: decreased WBC |\ |\




-*Normal WBC 4.5-10* |\ |\




-Divided into granulocytes (neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils),
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


monocytes (macrophages), and lymphocytes (T and B cells,
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


natural killer cells)
|\ |\




*Lymphoid tissue*: where some B and T cells are stored and they
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


monitor for antigens ex. *spleen and lymph nodes*
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




-*Lymph Nodes*: Where some B and T cells are stored and
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


monitor for any antigens.
|\ |\ |\




-*Spleen:* is a lymphatic organ where blood is filtered, B and T
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


cells monitor for antigens/pathogens there.
|\ |\ |\ |\




*Thymus*: generates T cells |\ |\ |\




Phagocytic immune response - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔WBCs
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


ingest foreign particles and destroy invading agents
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




Humoral response - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔-Antibody response
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




-Antigen recognition: *B lymphocytes respond to antigens* by
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


triggering *antibody formation* |\ |\




Cellular immune response - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔T
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


lymphocytes; cytotoxic killer cells |\ |\ |\
