|---|---|---|---|---|
|
a defense system to fight infections in the body
What is the function of the immune system?
|

warmth, redness, swelling , pain and decreased function.
What are the 5 cardinal manifestations of inflammation?
|
breathing problems, eye irritations, rash, nasal congestion, etc.
What are symptoms of allergies?
|
Immune system adapts to antigens by making specific antibodies against the antigen
What is antibody-mediated immunity?
|
|
Neutrophil
Which WBC plays the primary role in inflammation?
|
protect body against infection, attack and destroy bacteria
What is the function of white blood cells?
|
Vascular response, Cellular response, Tissue repair and replacement
What is the sequence of the inflammatory process?
|
when the immune system attacks the body's own cells
What is an autoimmune disease?
|
Immunity that the body learns to make or receive, immunity through infection with the antigen. Ex. Chicken Pox
What is natural acquired active immunity?
|
|
Protection is immediate but short term and does not provide true immunity,
What is inflammatory protection?
|
become sensitized to a foreign proteins and produce antibodies
What is the function of B cells?
|
Small veins constrict and arterioles dilate= redness and warmth
What is the vascular response
|
Rheumatoid Arthritis
What is the disease when antibodies attach to the linings of joints causing inflammation and pain?
|
Cells most effective in destroying unhealthy or abnormal self-cells. i.e. cancer cells
What are natural killer cells?
|
|
cells that "eat" foreign material to destroy them
What are phagocytes?
|
help destroy infected cells
What is the function of t-cells?
|
Pus containing dead WBC's, necrotic tissue and fluids escape from damaged cells. Neutrophils attach and result is phagocytosis
What is the cellular response?
|
lupus
Which is the disease where antibodies attach to tissues in the body like joints, lungs, and kidneys?
|
Type of immunity which infants acquire from their mother
What is natural acquired passive immunity?
|
|
skin, mucosa, inflammatory response
What are the three best natural protectors from external invaders?
|
white blood cell
What is a lymphocyte?
|
Regeneration, Resolution and Scar tissue
What is tissue repair and replacement?
|
Type 1 Diabetes
What is the disease where the antibodies attack and destroy insulin-producing cells in the pancreas?
|
