Mcbh St2 Questions With Complete Solutions
Inflammation
The body typically responds to any local injury, irritation,
microbial invasion, or bacterial toxin by a complex series of
events collectively
Vasodilation
an increase in the diameter of capillaries, leads to redness, heat
and swelling.
Chemotaxis
This directed migration results from chemical attractants called
chemotactic agents.
Phagocytosis
Phagocytic white blood cells are called phagocytes, and the
process by which phagocytes surround and engulf (ingest)
foreign materia
nonspecific host defence mechanisms
innate or inborn resistance observed among some species of
animals and some persons naturally resistant to certain diseases
specific host defence mechanisms
Aquired immunity after birth that are spesic due to antigen
greating antibodies
Immunology
, the scientific study of the immune system and immune
responses
Immunity
may occur naturally or artificially induced by antigens
(vaccination) exposure
Antigenic determinant
Individual molecules that stimulate the production of antibodies
Immunoglobulins
Immunogen
The antigen or antigen mixture that induces artificial active
immunity
Monoclonal antibodies
A single plasma cell that produces only one specific type of
antibody is fused with a rapidly dividing tumour cell. The new
long-lived, antibody-producing cell is called a hybridoma. These
hybridomas can produce large amounts of specific antibodies
Allergy
Antibody-mediated immediate hypersensitivity
Superantigens
act indirectly on host cells, subverting the immune system so
that T cells and their cytokine products extensively damage host
cells
Humoral immunity
