Cell-mediated immunity (CMI) - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Immunity involving a T-cell
response
humoral immunity - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔- IGG, IGA
specific immunity produced by B cells that produce antibodies that circulate
in body fluids
Acquired immunity: - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Immunity that is present only after
exposure
,Active immunity: - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔immunity produced by exposure to an
antigen, as a result of the immune response after coming in contact with
the actual infection (ex: chicken pox, measles, mumps)
artificial immunity: - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔immunization; immunity acquired from
a vaccination
Passive immunity: - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔An individual does not produce his or
her own antibodies, but rather receives them directly from another source,
such as mother to infant through breast milk
Passive artificial immunity: - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔receive antiserum with
antibodies from another host (ex: infection of hepatitis B Immune globulin to
another person who doesn't have antibodies)
Effects of aging on the immune system: - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔- thymic atrophy
(shrinkage)
- decreased hypersensitivity response
- decreased T cell and B cells mediated response
- decreased T cell activity
-increase autoantibodies
, -decrease cell-mediated
colony stimulating factors (CSFs) - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔-stimulate growth and
differentiation of immature leukocytes in bone marrow
-stimulates erythriod progenitor cells in bone marrow to make red blood
cells
Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔-increases
number and maturity of neutrophils
- stimulates
Macrophage colony stimulating factors (M-CSF) - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Promotes
proliferation differentiation, and alteration of monocytes and macrophages
Cytokines: - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔- MESSENGER INTERACT W/ WBC'S
-Chemicals released by the immune system communicate with the brain.
-complex interactions of T cells, B cells, monocytes, and neutrophils
Hypersensitivity reactions: - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Type I- Anaphylactic
(immediate) (ex: rash)
Type II- Cytotoxic (ex: blood transfusion reaction)
