Innate Immune System I
The most well known physical barrier. Is the largest organ in the human body
Skin
The immune cells that release histamine to trigger inflammation
Mast Cells
The type of white blood cell that engulfs and digests pathogens
What Senior Sciences does Mrs Trefz teach (this year)?
Inflammation Not caused by infection
Sterile inflammation
Cytokines that act as chemical attractants guiding leukocytes to infection sites
Chemokines
A type of small protein that acts as a chemical messenger within the body, coordinating cell signalling and influencing immune response
Cytokine
Which Student (Stupidly) did not write their answers to any multiple-choice questions in the 2024 Mock exam?
Maddie
The receptors on macrophages that recognise PAMPs on pathogens.
Pattern recognition receptors (PRRs)
The process where white blood cells move toward higher concentrations of chemokines.
Chemotaxis
The immune cell that captures pathogens and presents them to the adaptive immune system
Dendiritic Cell
Mrs Trefz moved to St Cath's in which year?
2022
The plant response that involves killing cells around the infection site to stop the spread of pathogens.
Hypersensitive response
Anti-inflammatory molecules derived from omega-3 fatty acids that help end inflammation
Resolvins
The immune cell that checks for missing MHC I markers and kills infected or cancerous cells.
Natural Killer Cell
In 2023, Mrs Trefz taught senior Chemistry. When she asked Sharujan what state of matter water is, what did he say?
The signalling molecule released by infected plant cells that activates defences in nearby cells
Salicylic acid
The structure formed by complement proteins that creates pores in pathogen membranes
The membrane attack complex (MAC)
The process where complement proteins tag pathogens for destruction
Opsonization
What Month is Mrs Trefz's Birthday?
June
