-inflammation
-complement proteins
Term
What is the complement system?
Definition
group of 20+ proteins that assist in other defense mechanisms

What are the 2 complement pathways?
Definition
-classical(antibody dependent)
-alternative(spontaneous)
Term
What is acquired immunity medicated by?
Definition
antibodies and T cells

Does acquired immunity have memory? What are the 2 grouos?
Definition
-long term memory
-passive or active
Term
Are antigens heavy?
Definition
yes high molecular weight
Term
What are the cells of the immune system made up of?
Definition
leukocytes
Term
What are the four type of leukocytes?

1.granulocytes
2.lymphocytes
3.monocytes
4.dendritic cells
Term
Where are leukocytes produced?
Definition
in the bone marrow
Term
What are some different types of granulocytes?
Definition
neutrophils, esinophils, basophils

macrophage
Term
How much % of total lymphocytes does T-cells make up?
Definition
65-80%
Term
Where do T-cells arise? Where do they migrate to mature?
Definition
-arise in bone marrow
-mature in thymus
Term
What happens to T cells during maturation?
Definition
develop receptors(sensitization) that allow them to differentiate
Term
What is another name for T helper cells?
Definition
CD4
Term
What do helper T cells produce?
Definition
cytokins that stimulate macrophages, NK cells, dendrite, and other helper T cells
Term
What do some helper T cells do?
Definition
turn on B cells so they can make antibodies
Term
What are the 2 types of T cells?
Definition
-T heleper
-T cytotoxic
Term
What do T cytotoxic cells do?
Definition
only t cells that directly attack and kill diseased cells, including cancer
Term
What are two effector functions of T cells?
Definition
-delayed hypersensitivity
-cytotoxicity(graft rejection)
Term
What are the regulatory functions of Tcells?
Definition
-regulates antibody production
-cell mediated immunity
-suppression of certain immune responses
Term
What are the 2 important functions of B cells?
