response to exercise
Athlete's Immune System
Immune Components 2
100
molecules that play a role in cell signalling. Send signals to the brain to then release immune components to the damaged area

What are cytokines?

100

redness and heat is due to this mechanism

what is vasodilation?

100

With acute exercise, NK cells and Lymphocytes blood concentration does this

what is decrease?

100

these molecules cause total body protein synthesis, creating more neurons, and leading to longer lives for those who exercise

what are myokines?

100

role of skin, stomach acid, cilia, nasal hairs, and mucous

what is non-specific immune defence?

200

white blood cells that increase in blood concentration for up to 24 hours after exercise with redistribution from the spleen and nodules. 

what are leukocytes?

200

swelling is due to this mechanism

what are leaky capiliaries?

200

with chronic training NK blood concentration does this?

what is increase?

200

this body composition leads to longer lives for those who exercise

what is high muscle low fat?

200

lymphocytes that eat/kill any cell that does not have a "self" marker. Fast-acting but not precise

what are Natural Killer cells?

300

most abundant white blood cell that plays a role in inflammation and phagocytosis. Travel through chemotaxis. Predominant cell in pus. Suppressed during intense exercise

What are neutrophils?

300

pain occurs due to these two mechanisms

what are pressure and metabolites?

300

increases of these two components decrease incidence of cancer with exercise

what are antibodies and cytokines?

300

mouth breathing and damaged muscles lead to increase in acute risk of this type of infection

what is upper respiratory?

300

Lymphocytes that recognize antigens and secrete antibodies. Remain in lymphatic tissue

what are B-cells?

400

a type of monocyte that contains histamine and heparin. Plays a role in anaphylaxis and wound healing. 

what is a mast cell?

400

these cytokines act on the hypothalamus to increase body temperature

what are pyrogens?

400

these molecules that protect against bacteria increase in blood vessels and adipose tissue after aerobic exercise

what are cathelicidins?

400

this amount of exercise is best for immune fuction

what is moderate?

400

Lymphocytes that are activated by antibodies to dig their way into antigens and burst them from the inside

what are T-cells?

500

a type of bone marrow cell that creates thrombocytes which are important for clotting

what is a megakaryocyte?

500

these are the systemic effects of inflammation

what are increased heart rate, increased blood pressure, and increase neutrophils?

500

the ion channel in bone that responds to stress to stimulate Stem cell factor to make new lymphocytes

what is Piezo1?

500

these two training aspects ensure athletes keep good immune function

what is slow increase in intensity and proper recovery?

500

a cytokine released from adipose tissue which plays a role in inflammation and acts as a pyrogen

what is tumor necrosis factor?
