Pathophysiology Immunity
Pathophysiology Exam 1: Immunity Objectives

1) Describe the cell functions of the Immune System:
Lymphocytes- small white blood cells that are responsible for much of the work of the immune system. Three types: Natural Killer Cells-NK cells provide rapid responses to virally infected cells and respond to tumor formation. NK cells are unique bc they have the ability to recognize stressed cells in the absence of antibodies and MHC, allowing for a much faster immune reaction. Trigger phagocytes to the site. Doesn't recognize cells. T Cells-group of white blood cells that play a role in Cell-mediated response. Mature in the thymus. Two types: 1) Helper T Cell(CD4+)-Regulate and send signals to other types of immune cells, including CD8 killer cells. Initiate and orchestrate immune response 2) Killer T Cell(CD8+)-destroy virally infected cells and tumor cells. They can recognize a specific antigen. Memory T Cells-located in lymph nodes. Stimulate allergic and autoimmune reactions. B Cells-part of the humoral response and Adaptive Immunity. make antibodies against antigens, perform the role of antigen-presenting cells, and develop into memory B cells after activation by antigen interaction. Activated by T cell. In bone marrow. 1) Plasma B cells-have been exposed to antigen and secrete large amounts of antibodies 2) Memory B cells-from from activated B cells that are specific to the antigen encountered Antigen Presenting Cells-group of diverse cell types that assists other cells in immune response. (Macrophages, B cells, and Dentritic Cells). Dentritic Cells-act as messengers between the innate and adaptive immunity Macrophages-involved in innate and adaptive immunity and responsible for phagocytosis either as stationary or mobile cells. Monocytes-replenish macrophages and dentritic cells under normal states and during inflammation, can move quickly to infection and divide into macrophages and dentritic cells. Mast Cells-within

    The immune system is made up of many interdependent cell categories such as cells, proteins, tissues, and organs that work together to protect the body. Several of these cell categories partake in a particular function. “The cells of the immune system can engulf bacteria, kill parasites or tumor cells, or kill viral-infected cells (The Immune System and Primary Immunodeficiency, n.d.)”. The immune system is a great teamwork among cells and proteins that work together to deliver defend against infection. The cells and proteins are not just one organ like the liver and the heart. The immune system is spread throughout the body to deliver a quick reaction to infection in the body. Cells are in our bloodstream and that’s how they travel throughout the body. The immune system is made of many different organs to protect the body.…

    They recognise the same protein that activated T cells. B cells produce antibodies that are the same as T cell receptors as they precisely recognise the protein belonging to the pathogen. The antibodies are then released from the B cells into the blood. They will then meet the pathogen and attach themselves onto it. Killer T cells activate as well if the pathogen is a virus. This enables another series of events which will destroy bacteria. When the bacteria are destroyed, the activated dendritic cells remain in lymph nodes and the B cells remain in contact with it, co-operating with it to ensure that the immunity is conserved. When the human body is healthy, the immune system has many cells ready to activate in case of an infection. When the battle is done, the cells will then deactivate slowly and some…

    List the five types of leukocytes and describe the function of each. Neutrophils comprise 60-70% of white blood cells. They are the first to respond to infection and move into tissues and phagocytize bacteria and foreign matter. They also secrete enzymes called lysozumes that destroy certain bacteria. Eosinophils comprise 2-4% of white blood cells. They enter tissues undergoing an allergic response. They reduce the inflammatory response by producing enzymes that destroy inflammatory chemicals, such as…
