what are the primary lymphnoid organs? what is there role?what is produced in each
bone marrow and thymus. make and mature immune cells. b and t produced in bone marrow. t only mature in thymus
1 of 19
what are the secondary lymphnoid organs?whar is there role?
appendix, slpeen, lymphnode, tonsils,adenoids. where immune cells fight pathogens
2 of 19
lymphatic vessle vs lymph nodes?
lymphatic vessles transport lymphocytes to nodes when infection occurs. lymph nodes are junctions in vesle where pathogen fights occur
3 of 19
two types of immunity?
innate and active
4 of 19
3 features of immdeiate innate immunity?
barriers, antimicrobial peptides, complement protiens
5 of 19
3 barrier forms and 3 examples
physical- epithleial cells with tight junctions. chemial- low pH. microbilogical- normal flora
6 of 19
name the 4 antimircobial peptides?
defensins, histatins, lectins, cathelicidins
7 of 19
decribe the complemnt system
protiens acting as opsonins- opsonization where complement protiens bind to microbe o make it more identifiable for phagocytosis
8 of 19
what are the four features of induced innate immunity
phagocytosis, ytokines, toll like recptors, nk cells
9 of 19
what cells are involved in phagoytosis, how to u incerase its effciancy?
neutrophils, monocytes and macrophages. use opsonins
10 of 19
roles of cytokines?what are they produced by?
mediate and regulate innate immunity, stimulate haemaopeisis- more immune cells to infection site- inflammation. produced by macrophages
11 of 19
what 3 ytokines induce inflammation?
IL-1, IL-6 and TNF
12 of 19
describe 3 steps of inflammation
vasodilation, incerased vasular permability and leukoyte migration
13 of 19
what are TLRs
receptors on immune cells or endosomes. surface receptos reognise bacteria. endomal recepors recognise virus
14 of 19
describe TLR action in bacteria
bacteria LPS recognised by TLR on macropgae. signal transduction means macrophage activates cyotkines. phagocyosis
15 of 19
describe TLR role in virus
viral rna actiate endosmal TLR, leads to production of interferons with antiviral properties
16 of 19
describe anitviral role of interferons
induce viral replicaiob resitance, increase nk recptor ligans, activate nk cells to kill the virus
17 of 19
activation of nk cells? how do they work
via IFN alpha and beta cytokines. kill ells by inducing apoptosis or use iFN gamma to indirectly kill the cell
18 of 19
important TLRs in bacteria and virus?
bacteria- TLR-4. virus TLR-7
