Organs are offal
Why so [hyper]sensitive?
Transplantation nation
You should know…
Oh "Y" not?
100
This tiny little "bean" is actually a network of beans that filters our lymph
What are the lymph nodes?
100
An exaggerated immune response to a non-threatening antigen
What is hypersensitivity?
100
And this is why we work so hard to match donor and recipient tissues
What is to avoid tissue/organ rejection?
100
Antibodies can activate this component of nonspecific immunity
What is the complement cascade?
100
This protein has a structure that makes it look like a capital "Y"
What is an antibody?
200
This "gland" is the site of T cell maturation and eventually shrinks into inactivity as we age
What is the thymus?
200
Allergies are these
What is a Type I hypersensitivity?
200
Definitely want to avoid these after receiving a transplant
What are people with illnesses?
200
Type of immune reaction that is programmed by vaccines
What is the secondary immune response?
200
Result of antibody interacting with antigen
What is clumping of the antigen and antibody making it easier for phagocytes to find and "eat" the invaders?
300
Contains red and white pulp, each with their own function
What is the spleen?
300
This delayed reaction hypersensitivity can take up to 48 hours to cause a rash
What is Type IV?
300
Transplant recipients have to take these for the rest of their life to avoid rejection
What are immunosuppressive drugs?
300
Allergies are this, which is why you are probably allergic to some or all of what your parents are
What is inherited?
300
Because antibodies have blocked the binding site
What is why the antigen cannot interact with its target cell to cause illness?
400
Head of lymphatic security because they can monitor ALL body fluids and activate innate and specific immune responses
What are lymph nodes?
400
Rheumatoid arthritis is an example of
What is Type III: Immune Complex Hypersensitivity
400
Theoretically, this is the best source for donor tissue
Who is the recipient?
400
Movement of immune cells to the site of infection because infected cells secrete signalling molecule
What is chemotaxis?
400
Secrete antibodies
What are plasma B cells?
500
This organ is the "big bean" in our superior left abdominal cavity
What is the spleen?
500
Happens when a blood transfusion goes wrong
What is Type II: antibody-dependent cytotoxic hypersensitivity?
500
Because when cells are attacked and die…
What is tissues die, organs die, organ systems die, and the organism cannot recover?
500
A special type of this phagocyte is a player in adaptive immunity. Usually this is an innate immune cell.
What is a macrophage?
500
Because when cells are attacked and die…
What is tissues die, organs die, organ systems die, and the organism cannot recover?
