Immunoglobulins (Ig)
Which Ig is able to cross the placenta?
IgG
Produces blood cells from a hemocytoblast and develops immature B & T cells
Bone Marrow
States that pressure and volume are inversely related (P1V1 = P2V2)
Boyle's Law
Thin, small sacs with balloon-like appearance that facilitate gas diffusion & exchange
Alveoli
Mediated by IgE antibodies and Mast cells
Type I
Which Ig is secreted in breast milk?
IgA
Site of T cell maturation (thymocytes)
Thymus
Separates blood and air and allows for gas exchange between O2 & CO2
Alveolar-Capillary (Blood-Air) Barrier
Airways are narrowed by inflammation, mucus, or loss of elastic recoil
Obstructive
Rheumatoid arthritis, Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) & Glomerulonephritis
Type III
High levels of which Ig indicate a helminth infection?
IgE
Small, bean-shaped structures distributed along the lymphatic vessels
Lymph Nodes
Reversible reaction between carbon dioxide (CO2), water (H2O), carbonic acid (H2CO3), and bicarbonate (HCO3−)
Bicarbonate Buffer System
Physical barrier (1st line) that removes inhaled pathogens and irritants form the lungs
Mucociliary Escalator
Transfusion reactions or HDN
Type II
What type of cell produces Igs?
Plasma (B cells)
Primary breathing muscle that separates the chest & abdominal cavities
Diaphragm
Breathing slows down to retain CO2, shifting the reaction to the right to produce more H+ and normalize pH occurs when the body enters a state of?
Hypocapnia (Low CO2)
Loss of lung elasticity or external constraints on the chest wall and tissue itself becomes stiff or scarred
Restrctive
Poison Ivy rash or PPD (TB test)
Type IV
What is the primary Ig involved in a Type I Hypersensitivy?
IgE
Peyer's Patches contain specialized bundles of lymphatic tissues (GALT), specifically in what part of the SI?
Illeum
The Bicarbonate Buffer System maintains blood pH within the tight range of?
7.35 to 7.45
What enzyme converts CO2 and H2O into bicarbonate?
Carbonic anhydrase
Delayed response mediated entirely by T cells
Type IV
