Definition
parasitic protozoa and helminths
Term

t/f

t cells are part of the aquired immune response

Definition
true - they are produced in bone marrow and mature in the thymus
Term

t/f

skin is part of the innate immune system

Definition
true it acts as a physical barrier
Term

t/f

phagocytes are part of the innate immune system

Definition
true - they are also important in recruiting the aquired immune system
Term

t/f

b cells are part of the innate immune system?

Definition
false - they are part of the aquired immune system
Term

t/f

inflammation is part of the aquired system

Definition
false - it is part of the innate immune system
Term

t/f

t cells become activated and mature in the thymus

Definition
false they mature in the thymus but are not activated until they encounter antigens
Term

t/f concerning inflammation

there is an increased blood supply at the site of inflammation

Definition
true - neutrophils and other stuff travel in the blood
Term

t/f concerning inflammation

macrophages release cytokines

Definition
false
Term

t/f concerning inflammation

damaged endothelial cells release cytokines which help to recruit clotting proteins

Definition
false - they release IL-8 this helps neutrophils migrate through the capillary wall.
Term

t/f concerning inflammation

mast cells at site of injury release histamine which causes vasodilation

Definition
true - this makes the capillary leaky allowing clotting factors and compliment proteins to leak out into tissue fluid to site of inflammation
Term

t/f concerning inflammation

neutrophils move out of the blood to the site of infection in the tissue

Definition
true release of IL-8 from damadged endothelial cells helps them migrate through the capillary wall
Term

Definition
aquired immunity
Term
which immune system results in the production of antibodies?
Definition
humoral response
Term

helper T cells have CD4 on their surface and binds to MHC II on the surface of an antigen presenting cell

Definition
this is true T helper has CD4
Term
