Adaptive (Specific) Defense Mechanisms ()- True or False, lymphocytes (t and B) are made specifically for ONE antigen
Innate (Nonspecific) Defense Mechanisms (Antimicrobial Proteins)- So if Interferons are interfering then, Complements are...
Adaptive (Specific) Defense Mechanisms ()- The two areas they can go depending on their immunocompetence are teh
Innate (Nonspecific) Defense Mechanisms (Inflammatory)- The phagocytes here Are actually the macrophages and neutrophiuls as well 😂 so the process of them going to destroy stuff is thus called
Innate (Nonspecific) Defense Mechanisms (Antimicrobial Proteins)- One of the two (complements and interferons) bind to nearby cells to stimulate protein synthesis (the act that interferes with a viruses ability to mulitply)- these are...
Innate (Nonspecific) Defense Mechanisms (Antimicrobial Proteins)- 2 more to go! These next ones are called Antimicrobial proteins- We've got two proteins doing work here, called
Innate (Nonspecific) Defense Mechanisms (Antimicrobial Proteins)- now these proteins are special because they're main function is
Innate (Nonspecific) Defense Mechanisms (Inflammatory)- now let's go into detail- Neutrophils are in the blood stream! so if they're called to the area, remember the name for the process the go thru to SQUEEZE OUT of the vessel?
Adaptive (Specific) Defense Mechanisms ()-another name for antibodies is
Adaptive (Specific) Defense Mechanisms ()- is it our genes or the presentation of the antigen to the lymphocyte that determines what antigen the lymphocyte will be against
Innate (Nonspecific) Defense Mechanisms- moving onto the Inflammatory response!!- so because it's part of the Nonspecific type of defense mechanisms, this gets triggered whenever...
Innate (Nonspecific) Defense Mechanisms (Inflammatory)- The increase of blood flow into this area (bc of the blood vessels dilating) leads to 2/4 of the cardinal (flesh) signs of inflammation, which are:
Innate (Nonspecific) Defense Mechanisms- now let's get into the reinforcements (2nd line of defense) [still innate]- we have 5 different kinds of reinforcementKiller Cells- What do our Natural Killer Cells do? (3steps)
Innate (Nonspecific) Defense Mechanisms (Inflammatory)- OK! after the inflammatory chemicals are released, 3 things happen at the same time (2 having to do with blood, the other WBCs)
The Immune System Time!!- but. it doesn't have any organs so we call it more of a ___ system
Innate (Nonspecific) Defense Mechanisms- what is this process of killer cells breaking teh membrane adn releasing degrading enzymes into teh pathogen to kill it?
Innate (Nonspecific) Defense Mechanisms- Let's dive deeper into the first line of defense- how is the Mucus one of them?
Innate (Nonspecific) Defense Mechanisms (Inflammatory)- Blood vessels dilating (getting bigger) means that the blood icnreacing or decreasing the flow into this are
Innate (Nonspecific) Defense Mechanisms (Inflammatory)- So, now we get to go thru the flow chart of the inflammatory response 😂- SO! we get a cut -- our cells are damaged -- what happens first? (what gets released?)
Innate (Nonspecific) Defense Mechanisms- Why is it called Non-specific?
