100

These cells directly kill cells that are infected with intracellular pathogens

Cytotoxic T Cells (CD8).

100

This cell predominates in acute inflammation.

Neutrophils

100

These large, multi-nucleated cells are responsible for the resorption of bone.

Osteoclasts.

100

This mechanism of cartilage growth is typically described as 'growth from within'.

Interstitial Growth.

200

This type of immunity is acquired through a vaccination.

Artificially Acquired Active Immunity.


200

What is the name of the progenitor pathway of Natural Killer cells and which immune defence they are involved in.

Lymphoid progenitor

Innate immunity

200

This is the the connective tissue layer located on the outside of bones.

Periosteum.

200

This type of cartilage would be found within intervertebral disks and consists of Type 1 Collagen.

Fibrocartilage.

300

These cell types present pathogens on MHCII molecules to Helper T Cells (CD4).

Professional Antigen Presenting Cells (pAPCs)

- Macrophages

- Dendritic Cells

- B Lymphocytes

300

This reaction occurs within minutes of an allergen response.

Type I Hypersensitivity Reaction.

300

This is where the secondary ossification centres form.

Epiphyses.

300

This component of the cartilage matrix traps water and allows for shock absorption.

Ground Substance (GAGs).



400

This complement fragment is the most important opsonization.

C3b.

400

This hypersensitivity reaction is caused by the deposition of antigen/antibody/Complement complexes in blood vessels and tissues.

Type III Hypersensitivity (Immune Complex Disease).

400

This joint type is the only multiaxial joint in the human body.

Ball-and-Socket Joint.

400

This layer is found in the cartilage perichondrium and contains Type 1 Collagen and Fibroblasts.

Outer Fibrous Layer.

500

Naïve B cells directly enter the cortex of the lymph node through these specific vessels

High Endothelial Venules (HEV)

500

Which is the first vascular event in acute inflammation?

Vasodilation

500

This component of the bone matrix makes up 35% and gives bone its flexibility and resilience.

Organic Bone Matrix.

500

This term describes clusters of chondrocytes within cartilage that originate from a single parent cell through mitotic division, surrounded by a shared territorial matrix.


Isogenous groups.
