Inflammation is a part of _______ immunity

Innate

100

Control of blood pressure and flow is carried out by these blood vessels alone.

Arterioles

100

Plasma cells secrete these

Antibodies

100

Skin and mucous membranes belong to _________ immunity.

Innate

100
Similar to blood plasma but circulates through different vessels

Lymph

200

The four cardinal signs of inflammation.

Redness, Heat, Pain, Swelling

200

Blood vessels only respond to signals from the _________ nervous system.

Sympathetic

200

These cells are involved in the immune response to transplanted tissue

Natural Killer cells

200

T and B cells belong to _________ immunity.

Adaptive

200

Fluid accumulation in the tissues is a result of excess filtration and is known as this disorder.

Edema

300

Mast cells will secrete a local chemical that leads to vasodilation known as...

Histamine

300

Most hormones involved in blood pressure regulation will raise blood pressure, unlike this one, which lowers BP. 

ANP

300

These cells secrete a paracrine factor, histamine

Basophils

300

Facilitated by a few proteins, this system is a part of innate immunity and leads to cytolysis and opsonization, among other ways of neutralizing an infection.

Complement System

300

Pus is an accumulation of...

Dead white blood cells

400

These cells are brought to the site of inflammation via chemotaxis and directly fight off pathogens that have invaded. 

Neutrophils

400

Arterioles contracting or dilating in response to changes in the amount of stretch of their smooth muscle is known as...

Myogenic Component of Autoregulation

400
Cytotoxic T cells secrete these chemicals that punch a hole in invader cells. 

Perforins

400
Tagging and adding sugar molecules on a pathogen/ infected cell is one way to make invaders "tastier" to phagocytes through this process.

Opsonization

400

This disease is characterized by fluid build up and swelling of the heart and lungs.

Congestive heart failure

500

Aside from damage to blood vessels and nerves, these paracrine factors are also important to the sensation of pain and promote inflammation.

Eicosanoids

500

When arterioles vasoconstrict, they slow down blood flow and increase ___________ _____________ (2 word term)

Peripheral Resistance
500

Antigen presenting cells are known for their ability to phagocytize pathogens and display their "marker" on MHC proteins. These markers are called ______ 

Epitopes

500

Antigens presented on a __________ protein will indicate that a cell is cancerous.

MHC 1

500

Fluid filtration out of the capilaries includes solutes like dissolved gases, sugars, electrolytes, and salts but NOT _________

Proteins
