programmed cell death
Question 5.
hematopoiesis
ANSWER
formation of blood cells & how cells differentiate -myeloid: pre cells mature into RBCs, platelets and WBCs -lymphoid: pre cellsmature into WBCS
Question 6.
Principles of Biotherapy: p51-95 immunology
ANSWER
-defense against foreign organisms, homeostasis (destroy aged cells), surveillance
Question 7.
immune responses
ANSWER
innate: primary line of defense, non specific, no memory adaptive: secondary line of defence with specific memry
, Question 8.
cytokines
ANSWER
-effect growth and differentiation of WBC -interferons, tumor necrosis factors, growth factos and interleukins -small protein molecules released by cells
