What line of defense is the inflammatory response?

2nd line of defense

100

What does MALT stand for?

Mucosa Associated Lymphatic Tissue

100

What defense occurs in reaction to all pathogen/disease-causing particles?

Non specific body defenses

100

Where do B-cells mature? 

Bone marrow and lymph nodes

100

Function of antibodies?

Attach to foreign antigens and remove them from body

200

What type of inflammation is characterized as "immediate response"?

Acute inflammation

200

What tissues are a part of MALT?

Tonsils and Peyer’s Patches 

200

What defense occurs in reaction to a specific antigen?

Specific body defenses

200

What immunity results from vaccines?

Passive immunity

200

What are macrophages?

Phagocytes that is fixed or wandering

300

What are the three characteristics of inflammation?

Redness, heat, swelling

300

What is the function of tonsils?

Traps foreign bacteria in the throat

300

As a first defense, where can non-specific body defense be found? 

Skin and mucous membranes

300

What immunity results from memory cells?

Active/Acquired immunity

300

What are antigens?

Any substance that is recognized by immune system and provokes immune response

400

How does opsonization enhance inflammatory response?

Makes foreign cell membranes “sticky” for phagocytosis

400

What are Peyer's patches?

Masses of lymphatic tissue located in small intestine

400

How does the mucous membrane protect the body from antigens? 

Traps antigens 

400

What is the function of cytotoxic T-cells?

Kills viruses that invade body cells including cancerous cells

400

What are pathogens?

Microorganisms that cause disease

500

How does chemotaxis chemicals enhance inflammatory response?

Attract neutrophils and macrophages into a region

500

What is the main function of MALT tissues?

Specific immunity, that initiates immune response to specific antigens

500

How do ciliated cells interact to help with defense?

Sweep foreign particles toward exterior to expel

500

How do T-cells interact with B-cells?

Release chemicals to activate B cells and humoral immunity

500

What are lymph nodes?

Small bean-shaped structure found in clumps that filters fluid and holds invaders back
