Functions & Organs
the primary function of the Lymphatic System
What is Immunity
3 of the 5 Epithelial Barriers (or Mechanical Mechanisms) of Innate Immunity
What are Skin, Mucus, Saliva, Tears & Urine (only 3 needed)
Inflammatory Chemical mediator secreted by Mast Cells
What is histamine
Major type of Leukocytes that include NK, B and T cells
What are Lymphocytes
An example of an Innate - Innate immune interaction (Innate component causing an Innate reaction)
What is Complement proteins activating Basophils or Mast Cells to cause inflammation (or any other viable example)
Small, Pea - size nodules that exist everywhere in the body but are especially concentrated along the GI Tract, the Cervical, Axillary & Inguinal regions
What are Lymph Nodes
Innate chemical mediators that target the Hypothalamus & promote an increase in body temperature (Fever)
What are Pyrogens
Inflammatory response most associated with injury resulting in heat, pain, discoloration & swelling
What is local inflammation
A group of B cells or T cells with identical antigen - binding receptors
What are clones
An Example of a Adaptive - Adaptive immune interaction
What are Helper T cells stimulating the activation / proliferation of B cells (or any other acceptable example)
Lymphoid tissue that surround the posterior portion of the oral cavity and categorized as Lingual, Pharyngeal and Palatine
What are tonsils
Innate Leukocytes that are first at the site of an infection and work as "kamikazis" engulfing bacterial and then self - destructing
What are Neutrophils
Category of Acquired immunity that causes one's own body to produce its own antibodies and memory cells
What is Active
Adaptive Leukocyte that proliferates by binding to an MHCII - Antigen complex presented by Macrophages and aids in the activation / proliferation of B cells
What are Helper T cells
An example of an Innate - Adaptive immune interaction
What are macrophages promoting the activation / proliferation of Helper T Cells (or any other acceptable example)
Type of immunity that gets stronger & quicker with each subsequent exposure to a specific foreign antigen
What is Adaptive
Antiviral innate chemical mediator that are released from viral infected cells and works to inhibit further viral replication
What is Interferon
Characteristic of Systemic Inflammation that describes how leukocytes and chemical mediators traverse from blood vessels to the site of infection
What is vascular permeability
Part of an Antibody that binds to the Antigenic determinant (or epitope) of a foreign antigen
What is a Variable
An example of an Adaptive - Innate immune interaction
What are Antibodies promoting an inflammatory response (or any other acceptable example)
Lymphoid tissue of the Spleen that surrounds Splenic veins and contains macrophages used to engulf, break down & recycle old, worn out erythrocytes
What is Red Pulp
Migratory innate leukocytes that secrete histamine
What are Basophils
What is Passive Natural
Chemical Mediator secreted by Helper T cells to promote activation / proliferation of B cells
What is IL - 4 (Interleukin - 4)
an immune interaction that includes Interleukin - 12 being secreted by Macrophages to stimulate the action of NK Cells
What is an Innate - Innate immune interaction
