Inflammation
Immune Response
Physiology
Surprise Me
should be 500 a pop
100
Phases of inflammation
1. Acute inflammation healing

2. Chronic inflammation healing

3. Granuloma formation

4. Healing

100
Describe IgM
First antibody produced in the primary immune response, largest immunoglobulin
100
Self defense mechanisms (3)
Anatomic barriers

inflammatory response

immune response

100
how does aging effect the immune response
Deteriorates with age
100
Blood types and compatibility 
Too much to type.. soooo
200
Causes of dysfunctional wound healing 
hypoxemia, nutritional deficiencies, drug use
200
Forms of immunity
Natural, acquired, primary, secondary
200
Examples of anatomic barriers

External and non-specific

Epithelium, sebaceous glands, sweat, tears, saliva
200
Stages of stress
Alarm, resistance, exhaustion
200
Acquired Immune Deficiencies 
Nutritional, latrogenic, deficiencies caused by trauma, Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome
300
Chronic inflammatory responses
neutrophils degranulated and die, lymphocytes infiltrate, fibroblasts secrete collagen (protein), pus is produced and self digested, a granuloma may form, tissue repair, scar formation
300
Functions of antibodies
neutralize bacterial toxins, opsonize bacteria, neutralize viruses, activate inflammatory process
300
Characteristics of the inflammatory response
Immediate action against invasion, non-specific action of isolation/destruction/elimination, involves multiple plasma protein systems
300
Types of Hypersensitivity
allergy( environmental antigens)

Autoimmunity(self antigens)

isoimmunity(other person's antigen)

300
Describe Immune Complex Mediated (type 3)
Formation of antigen-antibody complexes when antibodies in blood or in body secretions meet and bind to a specific antigen

the affected organ has very little connection with where or how the antigen or the immune complex originated 

400
System that is comprised of 11 proteins that assist in destroying or limiting the damage of an invading organism
Complement System
400
Cell-mediated immune response results in..
Memory, delayed hypersensitivity, cytotoxicity, control
400
Characteristics of the immune response 
Develops slowly, may require sensitization, specific (targeted to known pathologic invaders), lymphocytes are usually the sole attacker
400
What hormone is the "stress" hormone
Cortisol
400
Clinical indications of a hypersensitivity reaction (Type 1)
Hives, breathing difficulty, increase heart rate and blood pressure, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headache, dizziness, tearing, convulsions
500
System that acts slower than than histamine and is triggered by factors associated with the coagulation cascade
Kinin System
500
Direct effects of antibodies
Agglutination, precipitation, neutralization
500
Infectious agents (5)
bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites, prions
500
Functions of catecholamines
triggers "fight or flight" mechanism
500
Processes for immune response
Antigen processing, antigen presentation, antigen recognition
